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.

The more your compatriots play the Hitler card, the more wonderful quotes like this will get posted :).

That still doesn't make the "wonderful quotes" informative or correct. Again, we would expect Arab officials - and perhaps all officials in the region - to assign credit to Trump regardless of how much, or how little, he was actually responsible for getting the agreement done. Everyone's got an incentive to suck up to him, and he really likes when people suck up to him....so there will be a lot of public sucking up to him. It would be a mistake for any intelligent observer (which I imagine you believe yourself to be) to think that the public sucking up is an indication of who actually was responsible for the deal being made. If you want to ignore that in order to needle people who "play the Hitler card," it's certainly within your right to do so...it's just not a great look.
