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.

The point is that China didn't even try, did they.

Didn't try what? What is the thing that you think China could have done to get Iran to just sit there and let the U.S. bomb them? Or rather primarily Israel, because it was Israel's bombs that set off the really big infrastructure reprisals?

Sure there is. I can think of several carrots they could throw Tehran's way.

Again, what? What's the "carrot" that induces Iran to let their enemies keep bombing them in lieu of taking the steps that forced the U.S. and Israel to agree to a ceasefire?

Also, I remain curious, since you asked me to ask you. Do you agree with Condi's take that stopping now and accepting only what we've achieved to date, with no goals achieved (or future commitments) on nuclear capabilities, is a win?
