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.

Russia, North Korea and other foes of America were quiet during Trump's four years.

I wonder what he told them? Yep, the street fighter from the Bronx takes no sh1t.


It's because you live in an imaginary world Lurker Mom. One wonders if you think magic is real.

As North Korea fired off a series of missiles in recent months ' at least 18 since May ' President Trump has repeatedly dismissed their importance as short-range and 'very standard' tests. And although he has conceded 'there may be a United Nations violation,' the president says any concerns are overblown.

Kim Jong-un, North Korea's leader, Mr. Trump explained recently, just 'likes testing missiles.'

Now, American intelligence officials and outside experts have come to a far different conclusion: that the launchings downplayed by Mr. Trump, including two late last month, have allowed Mr. Kim to test missiles with greater range and maneuverability that could overwhelm American defenses in the region.

Japan's defense minister, Takeshi Iwaya, told reporters in Tokyo last week that the irregular trajectories of the most recent tests were more evidence of a program designed to defeat the defenses Japan has deployed, with American technology, at sea and on shore.
