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.

Dope1: There is a strong case to believe that Vladimir Putin decided to invade Ukraine in part because he judged that Mr. Biden lacked the determination to resist after his retreat from Afghanistan. Xi Jinping will not shrink from exploiting Mr. Biden out of Chinese respect for his elders.

What a load of horsesh!t. Trump wanted to invite the Taliban to Camp David, for crying out loud.

Who approved the Doha Agreement that was negotiated with the Taliban (not the Afghan government)?

Who pressured the Afghan government to release 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison?

Who drew down American troops in Afghanistan from over 10,000 to 8,500, to 4,500 to 2,500.

Who left office with the Taliban in the strongest position they'd been in in almost 20 years?

Who said: 'I started the process, all the troops are coming home, they (Biden) couldn't stop the process. 21 years is enough. They (Biden) couldn't stop the process, they (Biden) wanted to but couldn't stop the process.'


If you guys are so sure Biden will be a drooling mess during the campaign, you should be begging him to run for reelection.

And isn't it interesting that you guys want to elect a president who'll immediately give Ukraine to Russia, fire every government employee who refuses to sign a pledge to Der Trump, and will leave NATO, among a wide range of other anti-American actions.
