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.

If the U.S. and its allies were to stop supporting Ukraine and it lost the war, China’s biggest partner [Russia] would come out on top. The West would not look as strong or united as it once was. Knowing this, China might become more aggressive in its territorial claims in Taiwan, the South China Sea and elsewhere.

But if the West remained united and Ukraine won, the opposite would be true. Russia would be weakened and embarrassed. The U.S. and its allies would have proved that they remained formidable. And China might reconsider if it could afford to take aggressive action to expand its borders.

...26 Republican senators voted against a $95 billion package of aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan... Newsweek

And then you have idiots like Empty G spouting Russian propaganda. Wow, this is the modern 'Republican Party'? No, the old GOP is dead and gone.
