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.

Sorry, but you guys are pikers.
Now here is how it is done properly: simplicius76.substack.com - Major questions finally answered

"BREAKING: U.S Secretary of State Marco Rubio admits that abducting Maduro did not solve anything:

“All of the problems we had with Maduro when Maduro was there. We still have those problems in terms of them needing to be addressed.
We are going to give people an opportunity to address those challenges and those problems. Until they address it, they will continue to face this oil quarantine."
...
Now it becomes clear: Trump’s adventure was little more than a callow vendetta against Maduro himself, with no further constructive plans for the actual management of the country or situation after Maduro’s fall.

This was even underscored today by NYT’s revelation that the final “straw” which made Trump pull the trigger was Maduro’s constant and insufferable “dancing”, which Trump’s fragile ego was greatly chafed by, as he felt that it was Maduro’s way of mocking and defying him.
...
Rodriguez appears to affirm the above, that she has been selected to pacify the Venezuelan people as a kind of ‘Maduro-lite’ while slinkily handing the country over to the neoliberal economic hitmen from the West.
...
Drowned in the neocon swamp of his administration, Trump appears to be tilting into psychopathy,
...
Drunk with power, it seems Trump has become a rabid mad dog attacking the entire world at the behest of his Israeli masters. But to accelerationists like myself, it’s not an altogether terrible development as it hastens the awakening of the world to the US’s naked imperialism,
...

"


He doesn't give the EU any regard either.
"[As if those threats weren’t enough, today Trump’s admin again reiterated their intent to take Greenland by force] It has set off a veritable firestorm of…..deafening silence and murmurs from the decrepit and paralytic EU kleptocrats. The hypocrisy and double standards were on full display
"


But finally a bit of calm(er) reflection:
" It’s the law of the jungle now, might is right, and Trump has become a kind of ill-fated Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse figure, ushering in the new age of chaos just in time for the final arc of the Fourth Turning to transform the world into something unrecognizable.

This is not altogether a bad thing. The old age is dying, and something new is being born; this is a natural process and should be welcomed, albeit with great caution and an emphasis on awareness. "
