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.

...saying that Ukraine started the war is one of the craziest. Of course, Donny is seeking revenge for Zelensky not helping create fake dirt on Biden. Trump is such a petty little shit.

wars, how do they start? no one in Donny’s administration seems to have any clue.

today marks the third anniversary of Russian troops and tanks crossing the border into Ukraine — an event which Ukrainians apparently brought on themselves by dressing provocatively and being out alone late at night.

Steve Witkoff (Trump's top negotiator): “the war didn’t need to happen. it was provoked.”

listen to Witkoff dutifully mouth Putin’s own talking points. we didn’t start the war. it was Ukraine’s fault. we were minding our own business, and they provoked us.

for fuck’s sake, Ukraine provoked Russia by putting their country right on top of land that Putin believes is rightfully his. that’s the beginning and end of the story.

Witkoff, a billionaire real estate investor with no foreign policy experience, didn’t get to be a Sewer Clown because he was a truth-teller. Witkoff got his job because he could stare straight into a camera and go look, shit happens. let’s not bicker over who provoked who.
