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.

DRussia isn't the country we'd get into a shooting war with. Why would we? Over what?
They're a paper tiger who can't project power more that 30 miles over their borders.


We know that NOW. But.... Russia's GDP is 29% military hardware and they aren't shabby at missiles, drones, etc. If you would tone down and be serious, Putin thought military hardware and numbers overcomes incompetence and he didn't understand how incompetent his army had become. Neither did we.

DRussia is not something to worry about We know that NOW. But half the reason it looks that way is that we took Russia serously when we helped prep the Ukraine. We really didn't know that before.

DSo who would we need ammo for? China.
Possibly. And we should take it seriously. Can we handle two flashpoints and the Ukraine?
