He Has No Deal, He Has No Dice - Trump Thread #162

[Spandauer]

Old enough to remember whole years in which I barely thought about the American president.

eta: in my haste I think I've numbered the thread incorrectly! Oh well.

There was an ear picture a few pages back

Anyone remember the ending to "The Man Who Would Be King" ?.

Kegsbreath isn't the only pishhead in the WH apparently:

Shurley some mhisstake!

Propaganda numbers.

I keep seeing the numbers of US troops involved in the blockade given as 10,000, and it being described as a "huge undertaking".

I call BS on this. Not the number. For sure they have 10k troops involved. But I think it is a pointless number. The number that should matter is how many suitable ships they have.

From what I can see they have 7 Arleigh Burke destroyers. Spot on for this. And they have at least 1 LCS ship. Ok I suppose.

The 2 landing support ships and the carrier, I cant see the use of. And as I mentioned before, the carrier and the 2x landing ships will use up destroyers as protection. And the carrier, the USS Abe Lincoln, has a crew of 5.5 k alone. That is half the oft quoted 10k troops,

I still think if it gets to the point of boarding tankers, they are going to start struggling. The US could have 100k troops there and it would not matter a jot, unless they have the specific skills needed.

No point to this post really. Just musing as to why they keep saying 10k troops.

The video in this reddit thread sure doesn't look like typical behaviour in the immediate aftermath of an shooting:

What the world needs is a Trump kill switch.

No point to this post really. Just musing as to why they keep saying 10k troops.

Land invasion (pointless)
Trump likes full numbers

21 stories.

According to a web story calculator.

Maybe that's where he'll store the Iranian uranium?

With all the official/cultural buildings etc given Trump's golden touch, and the nightmare global effects of his actions, will there be an equivalent of the Iranian Spring after he's gone?

I guess I'm asking if anyone here believes that there'll be any capacity or will to eradicate his dubious legacy.

Sunday morning ranting:

Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday to declare Iran in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Trump said the US was offering a “very fair and reasonable deal” and if Iran did not take it, he promised to knock out “every single Power Plant” and “every single Bridge”.
“NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” Trump wrote. “They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years.”

British freighter fired at in Strait, according to Trump
President Trump wrote that a a British “freighter” was fired at in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday and that US officials were heading again to Pakistan for fresh peace talks.
“Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it?” he said. (The Times)

Needless to say, this has not been reported in UK press.

Also this, per CNN:

“Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it? My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

French and UK ? I thought it was Indian. I suppose if anyone knows it will be him.

Which "The Times" is it? If it's not UK press?

So..... was a brit freighter fired on or wot ?

Do they use freighters for long haul ? I thought freighters were coastal these days ?

The Times did not report that a UK freighter had been fired upon yesterday, but instead thatTrump had said a UK freighter was fired upon yesterday.

A difference to me?

Is it cos he knows but nobody else does ?

Well according to Paula White he is God, so therefore all knowing?

TRUTH !
