The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

How do you figure? The convict left us a much more dangerous world than he received in 2016, in large part because of his disinterest in most international matters, and abandoning allies and friends. He prefers Russia and Putin to Ukraine or our European allies. I won't speculate why, just comment on the fact. - 1pg

Trump had the Iranians on the financial ropes, their assets were frozen, they were out of cash, their oil sales were non-existent, they had little capacity to hire or equip proxies, the Abraham Accords were progressing further isolating Iran. Then Biden unraveled it all so he be the one that revived the failing Obama treaty with Iran.

Even today, Biden Admin continuously lectures Israel to stand down holding out hope the Iranians will like us and live in peace with their neighbors. Foolish. Biden does not know how deterrence works. The Israelis are showing us and you can be sure that most of the Middle East will rejoice when Iran's nuclear aspirations are vaporized and the nut job Mullahs are gone.
