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.

...refrain from personal attacks (by implying what I say is fueled by propaganda).

I implied no such thing, and did not attack you personally.

The question was asked about why generic "Republicans" were clueless. I replied that it was because they have bad news sources. If you take that personally, I guess that's on you. Your name was not mentioned by me or the poster I was replying to. Given the established history of poor sources on the right, I stand by my statement. Not all of them, but many Republicans are woefully misinformed because of the sources they rely upon.

As for China, we agree. They are a threat. I don't know what sources you used to come to that conclusion, but (IMHO) it is a correct conclusion.

I also didn't say that you said anything about Putin. You didn't (at least in the posts I read). But depriving Ukraine of funding is equivalent. Again, your name was not mentioned by me.

I agree with three of your four points. #4 doesn't really apply. First, China will require entirely different ammo. As I stated a few days ago. We will need anti-ship missiles with China. Ukraine needs 155mm rounds. Another poster also pointed out that part of the package was two new attack subs, and funding for munitions production. Which will help BOTH theaters of (potential) conflict.
