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.

its been obvious that the american defense sector is already losing longterm business , with the hope they can pull it forward under trump.

in reverse chronology :

- priority delivers (mostly to EU and nato) are already being redirected for use on behalf of israel AT NO COST to them. (under 'national security' or whatever blather MAGA will accept). this amount only steepens daily.
per usual trump deals, delaying lawsuits over non-delivery are a standard part of his reneging option. in summary, when you pay a premium to get early delivery for your own security needs, trump is really exposing who he believes to be the stupid\gullible party.

- peddling nato platform compatibility is kinda useless when america says its not going to participate in wars they dont initiate (or are initiated into).

- defense sales were pimped by trump as part of his personal trade\bribe deals. so the trust level was benchmarked then.
