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 you don't know this either. You don't know where the material is or what the status of it is." - Dumbass Dope

Hmm, we used to know exactly where the Iranian nuclear material was and what was the status of their nuclear program. We knew it all in precise detail and had a rigorous inspection program to ensure Iran stayed compliant.

So we went from having intimate knowledge of their program, what they were doing, how much material they had, etc. to knowing nothing about it. We don't know where the material is, how much is left, or if they have restarted production yet.

Yet somehow you think it is a good thing that Trump went from having extensive knowledge of the Iranian nuclear program to knowing almost nothing so now he has to do continuous bombing, destabilize the Middle East, drive up oil prices, driven a wedge between us and our allies, and spend billions of dollars each day attacking Iran.

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe Trump's foreign policy just isn't very smart?
