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.

The MSM is doing it's best to hide it, but there is a non-zero possibility that the US is being used by certain foreign entities to advance their own agendas. No-one would want to admit that Trump is a whore, using our guys as mercs.

Well, flatly stating something in articles in such tiny newspapers as the New York Times and The Washington Post wouldn't be what I would call doing one's best to hide something. I have no doubt that Israel and Saudi Arabia - and probably several other of the Sunni Gulf states - are absolutely doing their best to persuade Trump to continue the war. Iran is a major regional threat to them, and they'd much rather have the U.S. wear them down for them.

Not sure that makes Trump a "whore" any more than any other prior President in history that has folks doing their best to persuade them to do things that also provide a benefit (security or otherwise) to other countries.
