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.

Biden's policy of proportionate response is what allowed the bully to come back for daily fights.

I tend to agree with you on this... to a certain degree.

It's not working well for Biden in the Middle East.

And it's not working well in Ukraine.

But it's working better than a foreign policy that looks like:

1. Threaten North Korea with "fire and fury".
2. Have a summit with Kim Jong Un and then follow up with "love letters"
3. Cancel joint South Korean and US military exercises.
4. Come away from this tempestuous affair with absolutely nothing except aching nether parts and the unfulfilled promise that Kim Jong Un will love you in the morning.
5. Claim victory.
