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.

But again - how does that solve the problem of them getting a nuclear weapon?

So no deal on Earth is going to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon. That's what you're arguing. Curious coming from someone so in favor of the JCPOA.

Then it doesn't really mitigate against Iran's ability to use closing the strait strategically. Very little Hormuz oil goes to Europe - only about 4%:

4% matters. Add up all the couch cushion change and pretty soon you have real money.

Not enough to matter, and certainly not enough to warrant actually building a separate pipeline.

Every bit that can be diverted from the straits of Hormuz is a good idea.
