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.

You delusional if you think this day wasn't coming, and soon.

The refuge of every scoundrel who launches a war of choice.
“i attacked before they did what I knew they would do.”

The strait was open before Trump attacked.

Now it’s closed, profiting Iran, Russia and China.

Smooth move, 5D chess player.

The only thing we know for certain is:
Trump attacked and Iran closed the strait in response.

We also saw several people in the administration who were surprised by this escalation
“Who could have guessed Iran would have closed the Strait of Hormuz?”, they exclaimed!

Everybody. That’s who. Iran has been telling the world for years that it would do this if attacked.

And now 120-150 million a day in toll revenues have been added as a stream of revenue for that pirate regime. And Donald Trump had the sheer gall and stupidity yesterday to suggest that the United States could “make a lot of money” by signing on as a partner to this piratical scheme.

Geez…… Obama only sent 400 million in Iran’s own cash to Iran. Iran can now extract that much every three days in tolls, thanks to Donald Trump creating the opening for them to do it.

This is a perfect example of the flaws in Trump’s character that led to failed casinos and bankruptcies.
