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.

Trump is Trump and we all know what that is bringing to the conflict. However, I also felt the Biden administration's slow dripping of support was just morally bankrupt.

I agree with this, the only rationalization I can come up with is that Biden’s advisors were afraid of widening the war into a full fledged conflagration. I don’t know if those fears were justified (or even if that was the real reason), but I don’t think it has turned out for the best.

The best way to get rid of a bully is to punch him in the nose, not tap him lightly and repeatedly in the belly.
