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.

as a (pleasantly surprised) fan of biden's achievements, joe&co has been absolutely played by bibi and has hard-right faction.
(below even the low bar of obama's foreign policy indifferences)

the absolute disaster would be the u.s. dragged into greater military conflict on israel's behalf.

maybe israel's strategic assassinations would have blown over had they conducted this pro-actively in 2022, but not now that the world sees the u.s. as a complicit partner in funding military aid to conduct civilian genocide.
in a comedic interview with IDF on PBS, the rep stated he believed +50% of the casualities were Hamas, because no one could prove otherwise. simple math on child casualties easily contradicts this, but it is what the GOP (and biden by his actions) are buying.

am still not sure why the u.s. is actively participating to defend israel's aggression...did i miss the part where bibi joined NATO?
or maybe the u.s. is happy to honor country-to-country pledges with israel in a 1-sided manner.
sending crisis aid to Gaza, military aid to bibi, and military expenditure on israel's behalf, is trump-like in its cognitive dissonance.
