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.

He admitted (or proudly announced) he spoke to Putin at length in his "conference" or whatever that spectacle was.

He more or less just surrendered to Iran. TACO indeed.

He also seems to think that he thinks controlling the entirety of the Strait of Hormuz is achievable to defend it from asymmetrical threads.

The strike that killed Ali Khamenei killed the new leader of Iran's mother, wife, and son. The attacks have killed thousands and killed a school full of girls. The handling of the attack in US media, abandoning protestors for regime change and democracy in January, and the sloppy prosecution of the war have eliminated the bulk of any goodwill and soft power the US had in the first place.

I can't believe the market is so stupid to believe this can blow over. This has just started regardless of how the US president thinks he can weasel out of the mistake he dragged America into.

I'm looking a domestic US mid-cap oil producers on weakness.
