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.

"I think you’re misreading history right along side your partner. The US left Iraq and Afghanistan because we wanted to, not because they threw us out. Joe Biden and Barack Obama chose arbitrary dates and timelines for their own political purposes." - Dumbass Dope

Gotta love Dumbass Dope accusing others of misreading history and then blames Obama and Biden for when we left Iraq and Afghanistan. He doesn't even know enough about history to know who signed the agreements for when the U.S. was leaving those countries (Hint it was Bush and Trump).

Furthermore, he doesn't even realize that he is demonstrating Albaby's point about Ukraine not having to defeat Russia, they just need to keep fighting until it becomes politically untenable for Russia to keep up the invasion because that is why the U.S. left Iraq and Afghanistan, it became too politically untenable for the U.S. to continue.
