The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

So why would he stand down the war mongering?

Three reasons:

1) He wants gas prices to stay low;
2) The USS Ford carrier group is in the wrong place for this, off the coast of Venezuela instead of the Middle East leaving us without any aircraft carrier in the region; and
3) His whole foreign policy approach in the area is to try to get people to ignore disagreements and quiet things down so everyone can make money, which he believes will bring stability.

It's not in his interest for the Middle East to blow up into a potential regional conflict. He wants things calm.
