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.

Zelensky lacks the dudes, the guns and the money to throw the Russkies out of the Ukraine.

Thank you Dr. Obvious.

As I’ve previously said, of course Ukraine doesn’t have the guns and money to repel the illegal invasion by Russia (which they guaranteed they wouldn’t do).

It’s not just Ukraine. Lots of European countries don’t. That’s why NATO was created. Duh.

That’s why countries like Norway and Sweden recently joined NATO. You attack one, you attack us all. It’s a great mechanism for smaller countries to defend themselves against illegal invasions by a larger country. And it’s worked quite well for over 60 years.

Then, Neville Trump came along and he thinks giving in to an illegal invasion is a smart thing to do. In reality, it just encourages the larger national to keep invading more and more countries.

Use your Google machine to read up on World War II.

Russia just wants peace.

A piece of this, a piece of that.

That’s why it’s a smart idea to stop Russia in Ukraine, which makes it a smart move on the part of the United States to give aid to Ukraine.

Unfortunately, Neville Trump is incredibly ignorant. He actually thinks cutting IRS employees will save money. Dumb as a doorknob. He is aligning America with Russia and North Korea (and indirectly with Iran, too). These countries are not our friends. They would love to see us weaker, and that’s exactly what Trump is doing.

NATO helps keep America safer. Giving into a brutal dictator makes America less safe. That’s why learning history is so important. Maybe we can get a comic book version for Neville.
