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.

However, the status quo isn't acceptable by any measure *especially* if one is concerned about
-the rate of growth of China's military
-their stated position of wanted Taiwan under their flag
-their repeated demonstration of bad behavior in the South China Sea
-their ruthless exploitation of other nations in service of their broader strategy


Thus the Asian pivot by Obama, which you chose to ignore, and the TPP, which was abandoned by Trump in a very bad move which strengthened China. The TPP got renegotiated without the US present due to Trump.

However, we should withhold judgemen

This is just evasion, Trump is fucking over the US badly on the world stage and you're saying - wait and see - screw that Fess up, Trump is acting like a major loser.
