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.

Maybe, but the increasing sympathy for, or neutrality with respect to, Russian aggression in certain U.S. circles is part of why I'm slowly doing what Jim has done quickly.

There’s no “respect for Russia”. That’s a talking point made up by democrats.

There’s a simple reality on the ground in the Ukraine, and that reality is this:

Zelensky lacks the dudes, the guns and the money to evict Putin from his country.

The left is content is feed every last Ukrainian into the meat grinder. In light of not enough dudes/guns/money, what purpose does that serve?

An obvious rejoinder is “they’re fighting for their homes”. Yes they are. Which is why one has to take the long view: get a peace agreement now. Get time to rebuild the infrastructure and re-arm. Then see about Round 2 if the D/G/M calculus is different.
