The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

A few things on the "news" the last few days.

The GOP controlled House choose not to vote on a war powers resolution this week.

Chatter says Trump the Conqueror is getting wound up for another offensive.

But Rubio says the Strait is up to the Europeans to handle.

Rubio: We need a 'Plan B' if Iran keeps the Strait of Hormuz closed, 'someone's going to have to do something about it'

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. must prepare a "Plan B" if Iran refuses to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, warning that "someone's going to have to do something about it." At a press conference at a NATO meeting in Sweden, Rubio said the international community can not allow the Strait of Hormuz to be closed indefinitely, suggesting allied nations may eventually need to take action to reopen the shipping lane.


msn.com - Rubio we need a plan b if iran keeps the strait of hormuz closed someone s going to have to do something about

So who/what would Trump the Conqueror attack, if the intent is to fob the Iran mess off on Europe?

What would "Bibi" do, if the Europeans said "ok, we will deal with Iran....Iran, lets go back to the JCPOA, and the US can get stuffed".
