The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

We have noted how Kegsbreath has been purging the US military of flag rank officers he doesn't like, while reminding the remainder that they are controlled by civilians.

Meanwhile, in Israel:

In ‘unprecedented confrontation,’ IDF chief said resisting Netanyahu’s order for military action tied to Iran

An “unprecedented confrontation” has been unfolding in recent days between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir surrounding an instruction by the prime minister for unspecified military action that defense officials believe could lead to a flare-up with Iran shortly before the election, Channel 12 reported Sunday.

Looks like the IAF did a dry run a week ago.

Israeli military conducts massive "power projection" operation near Iran's border

Dozens of Israeli Air Force fighter jets conducted a sortie on Monday, flying as far as the Iranian border, according to Israeli and U.S. officials.

Why it matters: The operation, more than 800 miles away from Israel, took place a week before the Israeli elections and on the same day Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Israel's Ovda Air Base. The sortie wasn't connected to Hegseth's visit.

If Israel cranks up the war again, it's probable that Israel would, again, dog walk the US into it.
