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.

Meanwhile, Iran dangles the prospect of renewed oil flow through the Strait.

U.S. oil falls below $90 on report Iran agreement would restore Hormuz traffic in one month

Iranian state television claimed to have a copy of a draft framework for a memorandum of understanding with the U.S., according to Reuters.

Tehran has committed to restore commercial traffic through Hormuz to prewar levels within one month of an agreement with the U.S., according to Reuters citing Iranian state television.

But, as we have seen, the Israeli assets in Congress are against returning the Iranian assets the US seized. And Israel refuses to stop it's ethnic cleansing operation in Lebanon. So. Impasse.

Netanyahu orders IDF to 'hit the gas' on Hezbollah strikes amid drone strikes on northern Israel

The prime minister's comments come hours after multiple sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post that IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir said Israel should attack Beirut in response to Hezbollah's drone attacks on Israeli troops in southern Lebanon during a Security Cabinet meeting.

Smotrich: "For every explosive drone, ten buildings in Beirut should fall."
"We must put an end to the threat of Hezbollah's explosive drones," Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said in a Monday statement. "For every explosive drone, ten buildings in Beirut should fall."

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir echoed Smotrich's sentiment in a Monday post to X/Twitter.

"It is forbidden to normalize the reality of explosive drones; it is time for the prime minister to bang on Trump's table and inform him that we are returning to war in Lebanon," Ben-Gvir wrote. "We need to cut off electricity in Lebanon, conquer Dahiyeh, and return to an intense war."

Zamir, Ben-Gvir, Smotrich. The Israelis have a deep bench of war mongers, if "Bibi" leaves office.
