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.

As someone who for decades has expressed disdain for mooch Europe, I'm not here to carry their water.

And the mooch countries ---indeed, paper tigers.

But beyond that----right now I'm sorry, I envy France (ugh) UK, and others-----who haven't lost 13 soldiers over Iran, and over Israeli whims.

I hope there's some endgame here. Soon.

The last time we had an adventure, we for Kuwait back for the Emir, we let the Shiites get their asses fried by Saddam, then we left bases in Saudi Arabia ----Osama didn't like us being in his Holy Land, and then deep fried 3000 of us in WTC, THEN we again did the "courage" and "resolve" and went and got our soldiers killed by a bunch of street gangs in Iraq.

How much more.

How much more Israeli influence.

Had Obama presided over this, we'd say he's either a slave to Israel, or purposely trying to destroy America.

We'd be right.
