Schrödinger's Strait - Trump Thread #162A

Spandauer · 19/04/2026 14:58

The Strait of Schrödinger remains open and closed, safe and dangerous, insurable and uninsurable, blockaded and free.

"You put your tanker in, you put your tanker out
In, out, in, out, you sail it all about
You do the Straits of Hormuz and you turn around
That’s what it’s all about!"

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Got overwhelmed by the 🍊💩's idiot fuckery last time and missed out thread #161 so have designated this one as fake #162...A

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

Old enough to remember whole years in which I barely thought about the American president. Previous thread: [[https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/<u&gt...

Standout line from that article:

" For example, a prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague was cut off from his Microsoft email account by President Donald Trump. The ICC is now also switching to non-American systems."

Where to even begin with this?

Where I am, MS is the only non local email that works without a VPN. Even then, you can't actually set one up now. Need to ask someone outside to do it for you. I am sure American politicians would consider that as grounds for invasion: weaponization of the web and all that. And yet here we are.

I so wish that I could draw! Someone in the New York Times, talking about European right-wing leaders now distancing themselves from Trump all of a sudden, used the phrase "Trump as albatross", and I would love to have the picture.

I am starting to wonder who is leading the USA.

This from CNN:

"The US Defense Department announced today that it boarded a “sanctioned stateless vessel” in the Indian Ocean overnight.
The vessel, M/T Majestic X, was carrying oil from Iran, the department said in a post on X.
“We will continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks and interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate,” the post said.
Earlier this week, the US Defense Department boarded another stateless vessel, M/T Tifani, which had been sanctioned for transporting Iranian oil.
The Pentagon has previously said that international waters are not a “refuge for sanctioned vessels.” As CNN has reported, analysts say the open ocean is a safer place for the US Navy to make interdictions."

I left a link in that clip, because it does indeed appear that the interdictions are well beyond the SoH, as many posters on here predicted.

The big problem the world now has, is that slow ships and big oceans go beyond the 2 week attention span of His Turdiness.

The US-Iran war is spilling into the Indo-Pacific. That could make it harder to end | CNN

The US boarding of an oil tanker in the Indian Ocean on Tuesday shows Washington making good on a pledge to track Iran-linked vessels anywhere in the world, an extension of its blockade of Iranian ports that increases the pressure on Tehran.

Watching BBC News, the flags at the White House are flying at half-mast...is he dead?🙏🏻

Never mind Trump with his 2 week attention span.
I'm so bored with the fucker reigniting shit every 2 week with bollocks.

Fuck my life it's like groundhog day just with bombs and starvation that sits directly with Trump. He needs to be held accountable for every death, either directly or indirectly attributed to his action- I include USAID and ICE deaths in this along with those caused by his war.
Someone should lay the pairs of shoes out in the White house gardens under his nose.

Maybe they use the flag position as his phone battery indicator these days ?

PickAChew · Today 16:15

To a manturd with no conscience they would be terrible shoes rather than symbolic of his terrible actions, unfortunately.

JoshLymanSwagger · Today 16:22

I guess that's a no(t yet) then. 🤷🏻‍♀️
