“Whether you’re a military analyst or a political analyst, whether you’re in the Democratic or Republican party, there’s a reality here. Donald Trump has met the moment of truth. The kind of fictional life that he’s led and evoked over the last four or five decades has now been unmasked as a deadly drama. It’s going to cost the lives of so many people. It’s going to devastate the US economy and the regional economy. It’s going to set back America and its standing in the world. It’s a horrific moment.”
Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota.

Typical Trump shite. Bigly brilliant. Iran destroyed. Evil men. Good Arabs. Bad Europeans. Past USA global wars.

That's it.🤷‍♀️

No plan to end this war. No objective for this war. No mention of negotiations to end the war. World salad bullshit with a repeat of his threat to bomb Iran back to the stone age.

There was zero point to this announcement. Other than to show up how helpless and out of US control this war has become.🤯

Just seen this on Facebook (I’m close to both airbases).

For context this is what Wikipedia says about this particular aircraft. I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions…

”The A-10 was designed to provide close air support (CAS) to ground troops by attacking enemy armored vehicles, tanks, and other ground forces; it is the only production-built aircraft designed solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force.[4]”

It's ok Cavemum. They have been using the A10 for a couple of weeks there. Using it against boats. Iranian speed boats/rowing boats/drone boats. Maybe drones too ? Because it flies slow and has a big gun.

RedTagAlan · 02/04/2026 02:55

I could not watch it where I am. So just the bog standard BS apparently ?

I see it's all Obamnas fault, and the number killed in the demonstrations is now up to 45k.

I wonder is any news network will have a full transcript ?

dapsnotplimsolls · 02/04/2026 03:04

It was surprisingly short.

"Trump threatens sale of weapons for Ukraine to pressure allies into joining Strait of Hormuz efforts - report

Donald Trump has threatened to stop selling weapons for Ukraine, in order to pressure its European allies to join efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to a new report.
The Financial Times has reported that the US president's threat centred around the PURL initiative.
This is a NATO procurement programme in which European nations purchase weapons from the US and give them to Ukraine.
Citing people briefed on the discussions, the FT said that the White House would reportedly cut off the supply in order to bring allies on board for its efforts in the Middle East.
Trump has repeatedly criticised European nations for not doing more to help the US with its war against Iran."

Translation of the above can be done of course. He has no weapons left to sell. He is blowing them up in the Gulf because he massively effed up.

JoshLymanSwagger · 02/04/2026 06:09

He really doesn't understand that the SoH is closed because of him, does he?

Obviously, with such a short yet still rambling speech, the jump leads were really needed in the Oval not at Cape Canaveral.

MumToad · 02/04/2026 06:41

My 8 year old daughter wondered if Donald's bottom is orange too. It was never pleasant watching him in action, but now I can't think about anything else than his flipping arse when I see see him doing his " man with short penis act ". Worst of all - I don't have an answer for my child. 🙃😂

It’s absolutely terrifying how utterly inept and ignorant he is.

@MrTiddlesTheCat- excellent news, so pleased for you 💐
So novel to be able to post something positive on this thread too!

He's probably fantasising about pneumatic actresses in fur bikinis as in B movies

He’s watched the Flintstones. Probably still does.

Anyone able to share this article?! Hoping it’s not a late April Fools!

Lee Zeldin is equally bad, unfortunately. Currently busy destroying the environment as fast as he can.

Then I am going to feel a little bad for adding to your misery by planting the idea that his mouth looks like an anus when he talks... 😅

He was my parents' congressman and I seem to recall a little 'mistake' in 2016 where his campaign sent out a leaflet urging Dem voters not to forget to send in their absentee ballots, but put the deadline a day too late for them to be counted. And then, oops, they made the exact same 'mistake' in 2018.

These people are beyond the pale, how in God’s name are they allowed to get away with it. Disgraceful.

20 mins only...but I got 12 on my card.

CaveMum · 02/04/2026 08:07

Thanks for the link @walllaw, seems the phrase “frying pan, fire” is apt.

Also thanks @RedTagAlan for the reassurance on the planes.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 02/04/2026 08:08

Good morning from the north of England, where we are hoping it won’t rain today (huh).

Thank you for the new thread, @Spandauer. So glad to see your good news, @MrTiddlesTheCat.

Leaving Cyprus last night, we saw rows of Israeli and Lebanese commercial aircraft (parked side by side in perfect harmony) which have been brought over to avoid their being destroyed in their local war but thereby making Cyprus even more of a target for Iran..

Way too advanced for him
Sesame Street.
Today's show was brought to you by the letters A and H
That's the letters that say
Arse hole.

DuncinToffee · 02/04/2026 08:39

Still in NATO then?

You can see pretty clearly when the President decided to reassure a worried nation.

More likely to be targeted by Israel than Iran.

Took me 5 petroleum stations to get fuel this morning. Thanks Donald 😑 twat!

Spandauer · 02/04/2026 09:25

So it was a bigly nothing burger?
Save the bingo cards for next time - there'll be another load of drivel coming along soon just like the London Omnibus.

For the Artemis II watchers.
