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.

"I understand the European strategy. It's been recounted 500 times on this board and in this thread. It's impossible not to understand this strategy. It's...not a good strategy.

To me, this is akin to a boxer thinking Maybe if I just let the other guy punch me in the fact for 10 rounds he'll knock himself out, a battle plan literally adopted by no boxer ever. The Ukrainians have no choice - they're fighting as they can with the level of dudes, guns and money that they have." - Dumbass Dope


To me, Dope mouths the words, but cannot bring himself to actually contemplate the strategy because he has been told his interpretation of the strategy. So we're seeing repeats, over and over again, of this totally defeatist strategy of surrendering parts of Ukraine, which will only prolong the aggression. He's become a surrender monkey because... orders.
