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.

hell, even china and india may join if it was coming to end anyway.

The UK, having shot itself in the foot with BREXIT, has been desperate to suck up to the US. They went along with the US, and seized an Iranian tanker a few years ago. Didn't work out well for the UK

Here's the quickie view from the net sifter:

The UK seized the Iranian oil tanker Grace 1 (later renamed Adrian Darya 1) off Gibraltar in July 2019, suspecting it was carrying oil to Syria in violation of EU sanctions, leading to a major international standoff that involved the detention of a British tanker by Iran in retaliation. Gibraltar's Supreme Court eventually ordered its release in August 2019 after Iran provided assurances the oil wouldn't go to sanctioned destinations, though the UK later accused Iran of breaking those promises

No-one is going to take a chance on siding with the Pirate King.
