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.

bighairymike: Iran: "Whatever"

Dope1: When you coddle terrorists, this is what you get.

bighairymike: Unfortunately, the Biden admin does understand deterrence...

LurkerMom: Biden: Oh, I’m sorry.
I’ll send you more money so you won’t be mad at me.


More than 100 US troops suffered traumatic brain injuries in the Iranian missile attack on two bases in Iraq housing US troops on January 8, 2020 and dozens had to be transported to German hospitals and then back to the United States for treatment.

Tell, us, please, what president Trump did in response?

HINT: nothing.

Well, wait. The White House did pressure the Pentagon to hide the injuries.

Meanwhile, in the real world, a week ago president Biden took steps to protect Israel in the event of an Iranian strike, positioning destroyers in the region:

“At my direction, to support the defense of Israel, the U.S. military moved aircraft and ballistic missile defense destroyers to the region over the course of the past week. Thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our servicemembers, we helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles.”

Israel thanked president Biden and the United States for the assistance.

President Biden said he will convene with G7 leaders to “coordinate a united diplomatic response” to the attack, in which no Americans or American ships were harmed or in danger.

On Saturday, Trump did talk about how "beautiful" the battle of Gettysburg was and that Robert E Lee is “"no longer in favor. Did you ever notice that?”

So, umm, Trump was sundowning while Biden was making sure Israel was safe.
