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.

And how did Cuba work out for them? As I recall, a lot of oligarchs lost a lot of money with the rise of Castro. If Gaza/Palestine goes the way of Cuba, that's not what the other nations in this deal want.

Poorly. The rebels won.

Who knows what will happen down the road? For all I know, the Qataris and Egyptians might genuinely think that they've got enough of a bead on things that they can basically take over Gaza. Or it might be that they genuinely don't care and only want to keep a lid on things for a year or two, and then let the devil take the place. Or they might actually think that there's hope for the PA, that this can be a "come to Jesus" moment for them as well.

Regardless, the actual fighting in Gaza may end up stopping for a while - which may be good enough for now.
