The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Here. You can even have ABC's spin:

Thank you. Yes, that article links to a NYT article saying the US was helping the previously reported "70 ships in three weeks", sneak out of the Gulf.

It also includes this bit, Trump the Master of Everything, explaining why he was blowing a classified operation.

During the Oval Office event earlier Wednesday afternoon, Trump had also indicated that he was choosing to reveal this "secret" mission now because the Iranians had "figured it out."

"But now I'm going to tell you, because they just figured it out. So now that they figured it out, I can tell you it was very hard for me. I wanted to say it so bad, but it was. I didn't want to ruin it, but it was very hard," Trump said.


Well, if they had not figured it out, he made sure they knew, so they tightened control of the Strait. Mission accomplished!

Steve
