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.

No one here thinks Iran leaders are the good guys. No one.

Nah, bruv. You people lack historical knowledge and thus, context in pretty much every world event that shows up.

So the bad Iranians are in control of a war of choice started by the United States.

Are they, now. I realize it's popular here among the board's intelligentsia to declare the Iranians in total control of the straits now and forever...but is that really the case? And how much does it matter? When certain facts and incentives were pointed out the chortling started.

Things in the straits are adapting in real time. Pity none of you were listening.

Before the war the Strait was open and Iran was not building a nuclear weapon (that’s very good).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You funny. Only fools really believe this. No offense.

the strait is virtually closed and, for all we know, Iran is starting up their nuclear capabilities.

Really? Where? With what cash?

The world sees our military capabilities. Not a good showing, so far.


This might be the least informed thing I'll read on this board for a month - congrats. That's saying something.

Tell me - anyone else got a Navy that can sustain this level of combat ops for this long? If you say 'China' you're going to have to show me their experience in carrier operations in these conditions for extended periods (and other things).

If you want to whine about drones, then I'd suggest you check out Sandboxx on YouTube and a number of other studies that are coming out. You might be surprised at what you read (and no, I'm not dismissing drones as an element of future conflicts, so 'nice try' in advance all you strawman hoisters).
