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.

>>But there's millions and millions of Palestinians that have legitimate desires for autonomy and self-determination.<<

That's true. However, if Palestinian self-determination includes letting an Iranian proxy like Hamas (or Hezbollah in the case of the Lebs) rebuild it's military capability.... what then? - sano


----------------

That's true, what then? It is apparent the best available course forward is for the Israelis to continuously degrade Iran's air defenses, military facilities, and it's ability to sell oil, manufacture arms, and fund/equip proxies.

Soon, the big one will have to be dealt with, Iran's nuclear ambitions. This one the Israel's can't handle without a joint operation with the USA. They don't have the necessary bunker busters to reach Iran's underground nuclear facilities. Hopefully we will have leadership in Washington that will recognize the necessity and won't equivocate when the time to deal arrives.
