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.

We are going to be deep in a great depression. Won’t make a lick of difference. We won’t fight for more than a week. If we do not win in a week it is over.

Military intelligence is dead during this four year period.

Economic intelligence is dead as well.

If we win in a week by some reason known only to god, then the Chinese will cut off rare earths.

Meanwhile Wall St is saying la di da.

I was raised to think we are all holding up a system for the betterment of the country. At this point I won’t care. No one will care when the rich turn up bankrupt.

China can be corrupt to the core, but we can not. It breaks all good about our nation and our world the amount of corruptions we have right now.

The only reason we would win a war with China in a week is that China is so corrupt they might not know how to put the pieces together for an entire week.

BTW someone told me China had a power struggle a couple of years ago. Xi is only a figurehead for the military. For Xi to make this military declaration is only to support his overlords’ budget wishes.

We do it differently. Each admin declares we are not ready, more money please.

A press release here and there declaring China is about to go to war with us? Which military contractor put it out?
