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.

Would? I'll give you could.

And I keep pointing out that the problem is Iran. If the Houthis suddenly disappeared, we still have an aggressive Iran, vowin g Death to the Great Satan and have pledged to erase Israel.

Without their Houthi-launcher, the Iranians still have reliable delivery systems for their armaments. And you are right about Chinese expansionism in the region. Regaining some level of control over the region is in our best interest and is easier now than it will be in five years as the spread of the Chicom virus continues. Our apparent paralysis could be construed as the Chicoms exercising deterrence over the USA right now.
