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.

“We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily"
"“Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth,”
---------------------------------------------

I appreciate your level-headedness at being able to try to see both sides of the division.

The 2 Trump statements I copied are total bullshit. If we have totally destroyed Iran militarily, why is the Strait still shut down?
It's that simple to determine that Trump is feeding lines of BS to the American public.

I can't tolerate Trump making absolute BS statements, and don't have any respect for people that cannot question whether the story they are being fed is made up BS.

Trump in reality cannot TACO out of this. Sure, he can declare victory and leave the region in rubble. But I seriously,seriously doubt that Iran is going to be cowed by Trump's bluster. I expect terrorist attacks on US soil. Trump has opened Pandora's Box, and he can try to "weave" his ass out of it all he wants, but America is gonna be feeling the effect of his idiocy for the long term.
