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.

I think Winston Churchill may have known a bit more about war than trump. “Never,
never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy . . . Weak, incompetent, or
arrogant commanders; untrustworthy allies; hostile neutrals; malignant fortune; ugly
surprises; awful miscalculations – all take their seat at the council board on the morrow
of a declaration of war.” trump thinks he has control of his war on Iran and can just
declare victory and stop it at any time. Putin believed his war on Ukraine would be over
quickly. We thought we could finish the Vietnam war in a hurry. Do these losers ever
read history? The arrogance is astounding, and they will never, never, never believe or
admit they were wrong. And I'm way too old to be drafted. Thank you for your
attention to this matter. #SendBarron
Bill, Vietnam war vet.
