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.

The devil is in the details.

Iran is saying the Strait is open to ALL shipping during the Israeli- Lebanon truce.

Trump is saying the Strait is open to all shipping EXCEPT Iranian shipping.

Iran’s policy has been the Strait is open to ALL shipping OR no shipping.


While neither side has been trustworthy during this crisis, Iran has been more consistent in their messaging than the United States. Process that for a minute. Not good.

Trump has always had a problem processing information that people explain to him. When someone explains something to Trump, he is incapable of understanding what they are saying. In other words, Trump hears what he wants to hear, not what is actually being said.

And as Trump’s cognitive function worsens as he ages, it’s only going down hill from here.

Trump continues to weaken America’s standing in a hostile world. It makes us weaker while our adversaries are dealing with reality versus Trump’s irrationality.
