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.

The article quotes a Dem Senator as supporting this notion.

GOP senator predicts Trump's next move in Venezuela amid Hezbollah’s influence: 'Long past due'

Hezbollah’s growing foothold in Latin America has found its epicenter in Venezuela, where U.S. lawmakers and former counterterror officials say the Maduro regime has turned the country into a safe haven for one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist groups — giving it access to drug trafficking routes, forged documents and a gateway to the Western Hemisphere.

"This is not just about the Middle East anymore," Cornyn added. "It’s about a terrorist organization embedding itself in the Western Hemisphere under the protection of a hostile regime."

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, went a step further, predicting that the United States will move to end Nicolás Maduro’s rule altogether.

Of course, the Dem Senator has reportedly pocketed over half a million from AIPAC, so he may not be entirely unbiased about any entity that troubles Israel.
