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

Some lighthearted relief.

Just watching the racing and thought @JoshLymanSwagger might appreciate the name of the second-placed horse in the most recent race at Perth.

Sadly neither owned, trained or ridden by David Dweck 😜

Dammit, picture didn’t attach!

Noooooo, this cannot be true!

Pentagon briefing:
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth railed against European allies on Friday morning for not helping the US enough in its war against Iran, saying the US “barely” uses the Strait of Hormuz and that the situation “is much more their fight than ours.”
“We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do, and might want to start doing less talking and having less fancy conferences in Europe and get in a boat,” Hegseth said during a Pentagon press briefing. “This is much more their fight than ours.”
Hegseth and President Donald Trump have repeatedly bashed US allies, particularly those in NATO, for not coming to the US’ aid after it began combat operations against Iran on February 28.

How did he get from the US and Israel starting a war with Iran to it's our war. We didn't ask for Iran to be attacked.

Hogsbreath is a moron. He's an embarrassment to the USA.

Following on from the recent discussion (some) posters will recall about the relationship between MN and reality, H&M are probably one of the key metrics.

No one I know in real life (or have known for the past 10 years) has ever once mentioned, commented on, or even shown any interest in H&M, despite the tabloid and MN view that it's the most important subject in the world.

Just because Piers Morgan thinks it is a thing, don't make it so.

Interested in this thread?

They are still doing their "world privacy tour".

Are they ? Can't say I knew.

Or cared.

Even when my company was organising the events around the Queens funeral, and Charles coronation. no one gave two shits about H&M. I really cannot stress how unreal it is to read posts from anyone who purports to think there is something there.

My only real connection to the Monarchy is to feel embarrassed and feel we need to find a way past it.

I'm thinking of taking bets- is Harry getting back into the US or is he headed for an ICE prison on his return?
Will the orange one revoke his visa due to earlier drug use?
How will the King respond?
Who gets custody of the kids?

😂We are going to end up as THE MN betting shop.

Agree. There is a multi million industry out there with a lot of people making a lot of money out of writing crap about them,
I have recently been with many people, US, European, different nationalities, on a holiday, not one person mentioned them, no one is the slightest bit interested.
Talking about Trump, yes. Lots of that. But not them.

@RedTagAlan

I've peeked at the H&M thread off and on and gotten a few chuckles here and there.

I have a son who works in <waves hands vaguely> 'the entertainment industry' and H&M get an eyeroll from him on their 'antics'. But he refuses to share any real gossip. He knows I can't be trusted not to run to MN and tell all lol.

I think that should be the centre square 'free space' in each card since it's a cert. Either that or Sleepy Joe.

He can fuck right off with the bullying and threats..He's no world statesman.
He's a fascist boot boy with power.
I cannot recall any former president being such a cunt with allies.
Apart from Putin who is beyond reproche and criticism .

You’re not wrong - but he has very strong competition there for the most embarrassment that can be caused to the US ha!

Yes,but have you seen oil price? Its not been below 104 for a day or more,regardless of what they've said: reality hoving into view, unfortunately

SerendipityJane · 24/04/2026 14:44

If you aren't prepared for this war to last a couple of years, you've not been paying attention.

Just for debate, it's arguable whether WW2 was over by 1949. Plus the fact that for some people it never ended.

Do you really think yhay? In a cold sense? Surely not having SoH shut for that time?!
