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.

Dope1,

As albaby perhaps unintentionally implied in his typical sophistry hair splitting semantics on this issue, the essential goals of 1) completing and permanently eliminating Iran's potential or actual nuclear weapons capability--be it by regime change or just by killing all of the Islamic jihadists who keep popping up like whack a moles, until they are all gone; 2) neutralizing, forever, their ability to block the straits of Hormuz or otherwise interfering with the flow of oil; 3) eliminating their ability to project power beyond their borders, conventionally or otherwise, either with their own military forces or through the use of proxies such as Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.

I agree with albaby to the extent these essential goals have not been met.

Trump needs to keep going.
