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.

I also notice that you didn't provide any examples of posters here being GLEEFUL about these strikes.

It’s the go to response of many right wing posters: when service personnel die because a Republican administration screws up, an effective deflection is to blame those who point out the tragedy and its apparent cause- of being “gleeful” at the deaths of service personnel.

As the deaths add up, we’ll be seeing this charge over and over again.

And woe be it for anyone to keep track of how many deaths have occurred. That’s verboten and will get you labeled as a “death cheerer” faster than anything.

They’d rather keep the deaths a secret. Not right now. The numbers are still relatively low. But we KNOW, without a shadow of doubt, what this administration does with information it doesn’t want the public to see.
(Epstein files, anyone?)

Just like Hitler did with information concerning VonPaulus’ Sixth Army in Stalingrad.

The scope of the failure will be softened, and wrapped in an American flag. All to hide the goat rodeo that this “limited bombing campaign” will soon become, in fact, is already becoming.

There will be plenty of videos of exploding Iranian assets, many claims of success, but with limited treatment of the failures which will mount in frequency and in scope as the weeks progress….. until the obvious can no longer be hidden…. and then the failures will be blamed on everyone but themselves.

You don’t need a crystal ball to see this. They established the pattern long ago and will follow the script to the bitter end.
