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 can see Hungary going over to Putin, but the rest of them? Putin has done more to pull NATO together than the Clown Posse.

Agreed. Putin reminded many nations why they had joined NATO, and even encouraged two more members to join.

Even if the US quits entirely, NATO will still be there because of aggressive despots like Putin. Even after Putin loses his war (which he almost certainly will...analysts are projecting that Russia's losses are too great, both materiel and personnel, and it's dragging their economy down), it will be fresh in the minds of member nations, and NATO will persevere.
