You've got it the wrong way around.

The UK Government is sending King Charles as some sort of honorific tribute/homage to the US to visit the 🍊🌮

Some time at the end of April.

I really do not wish ill health on His Majesty, but maybe a little cough, or a nasty rash on his hand @CaveMum 😉

You got it the wrong way round, Charles is visitng the US

Markets got wise to Trump's manipulations, and have priced that in. Only something 'big' will change prices.

A friend in London saw some armed officers going down the manholes on teh mall.

They asked the officers if they were securing the route for Trumps visit.

They said no they were just sealing them in case it rains and his tan got into the watercourse.

I'm here all week.

A very large funeral in DC with a ma-hoo-sive party afterwards? 🙏🏻🤞🏻🥂🎉

Visit to China has been postponed until mid May I think. Trumpy not keen on leaving US soil at the mo'. Too many drones flying around.

K Charles is still going to D.C. at the end of April - State Banquet at WH and will also address Congress. Hope he remembers to say thank you and steers well clear of sitting down for a chat in Liberace's toilet that currently doubles as the Oval Office.

Hang on, if the 🍊🌮 can't travel because he's frightened of a war he started...why should the King travel to the US? and will he have to hand over his cell/mobile phone

Who remembers all the US action hero actors who chickened out of flying to the UK after 9/11 ? I definitely recall Bruce Willis being interviewed by video link, and the studio audience jeering.

My indignation is off the scale today.. 🤬

Hegseth: "The president was clear this morning in his Truth that there are countries around the world who ought to be prepared to step up on this critical waterway as well. Last time I checked there was supposed to be a big bad Royal Navy that could be prepared to do things like that."

Maybe His Majesty could as Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to go...he could have a nice little chat and reminisce with those lovely Congresspersons about his friend Mr Epstein.

Poland has refused a US request to send a Patriot missile battery to the Middle East.

Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz: “Our Patriot batteries… are used to protect Polish skies and NATO’s eastern flank… we have no plans to relocate them anywhere.”

Royal visit should be cancelled
The threats of tariffs amongst other things if Nations don't bend to the will of Trump and his band of head cases has went far enough.
Well done Poland.

Oh, Charles is going to US.
I panicked just thinking Trump was coming to UK!
And China visit is May indeed.

It feels like Europe is starting to put on its big girl pants and standing up to Trump. So far that’s Spain, Poland, France and Italy who have all said “No” to 🍊🌮 in the last few days.

My idea for next thread title. Iran has been obliterated. Boom! Send help! Silence.

eta
That might be a haiku in the making.

I wonder what is going on at Ayatollah Towers

If Iran has some smarts around the table, they will carefully use the leverage the US gifted them to quietly split the US and Israel from the rest of the world.

Iran is starring in a modern version of The Emperor's New Clothes.

Quote :"And China visit is May indeed."

"May" as in "May happen" now I reckon. Ol Trumpy has rather set a new precedent re what leaders of one State do to another.

" President Trump. Are you aware that VPNs are strictly controlled here in the PRC, and that TRUTH Social is banned ?"

Use your own Truthful Navy. Don't involve ours.
You started this shit.
We're not on diaper duty for the Tantruming Tango Toddler.

A very large but mostly unattended funeral in DC with a ma-hoo-sive party attended by just about everybody afterwards?

FTFY

I see Iran is rather unsportingly following Napoleons advice. Fair play.

One can only imaging what Arthur Wellelsey might have said when told he had Trump and Hegseth reporting for duty ....

In fact, I decided to paste that sentence above into Gemini, and even "AI" got my joke. And even more impressively added it's own spin 😎

A sadly under rated election slogan in 2017 was "Make June the end of May" by Labour as shade on Theresa May

That is interesting. Going by what SerendipityJane posted yesterday re Switzerland,, I expect Poland know if they hand over their system they won't be paid, and it might take 10 years to replace it.

I think it is only a matter of time the Pentagon is asking China and Russia to loan them their missile interceptor systems.

The future is going to be shaped by whether Chinas eternal hatred of Russia outweighs their distaste for the US.

It must be disappointing to be a US citizen at the moment. When you consider how much tax you pay for your armed services - of which you are very proud.
