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.

"Mission Accomplished"
The Iran Edition:

1) Proudly replaced one hardliner with an even younger, angrier Ayatollah, because clearly what the Middle East needed was more youthful energy in theocratic extremism!
2) Gift-wrapped the entire Strait of Hormuz, because who doesn’t enjoy giving their geopolitical rivals exclusive access to 20% of the world’s oil traffic?
3) Managed to lose the lives of American heroes and Iranian schoolchildren.
4) Burned through billions of dollars, because if Trump isn’t setting money on fire, is he even trying?
5) Let Pete Hegseth invest millions in major defense contractors prior to the attack on Iran! Cha-ching!


6) strangled the global economy for months, perhaps years to come
7) questioned US' commitment to NATO for no tangible reason
8) conquered the hearts and minds of Iran's population
