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.

“Trump's Iran war whiplash clouds U.S. endgame”

“After a video call with G7 leaders Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron declared publicly what others had said privately: no one can tell what Donald Trump wants from this war.
Why it matters: Nearly two weeks in, Trump continues to send conflicting signals about how and when the fighting ends. The confusion has left both allies and adversaries struggling to plan for what comes next.”

“Two sources with knowledge of the G7 call said Trump was "ambiguous and noncommittal" — some participants left thinking he wants to end the war, others felt the complete opposite.

If this is 4D chess, maybe it would be good to slip your own allies a note so they have an idea of what’s going on? Otherwise you’re just asking them to support *you* instead of a policy which they might be able to explain to their own voters.

Crazy concept to some people, I guess.
