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.

Why?

Because they're paying a real price in terms of civilians killed and infrastructure blown up every day. Why wouldn't you want to fight back? Why wouldn't you want to do something to speed up the timetable for the Russians leaving?

You said upthread that (paraphrasing) 'no, this isn't a boxer sitting there blocking the other guy's fist with his face' but when you don't occasionally make the other guys respond to something...that's exactly what it is.

The Muhajedin didn't attack targets in Russia, They didn't have the ability. The Ukrainians do.

Vietnamese didn't attack targets in the U.S The Vietnamese waged a successful PR campaign in the United States. They absolutely went on the offensive.
