MAGAnificet title.

To reiterate from the last thread, DJT 🍊💩 is an embarrassment to watch now. Cringe doesn't even cover it.

King Charles III gave a great speech.

Trump is like chimpanzee- throwing his shit at everyone and everything in the hope it sticks.

Edited to add, Thanks for the new thread.

Thanks for the new thread @Spandauer.

We've been away (in the US) so I've fallen behind.

Somewhat amusingly, we had probably the nicest border patrol agent I've ever come across at immigration. He was genuinely friendly and lovely and did not seem at all like a Trump-thumper.

Watching live. Brian/Chuck has nailed it!

The King's done us, and the monarchy, good.🍺

Thanks for the new thread @Spandauer , but I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. At least it's now warm enough to start planting courgettes!!

Thanks for new thread.

DISCLAIMERGATE GOES GLOBAL.

Yup. Are the Trumpists copying him, or is he copying them ?

“The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “He doesn’t know what he’s talking about! If Iran had a Nuclear Weapon, the whole World would be held hostage.”. per CNN

See, if Her Merz posted on MN he would know he needs to add a disclaimer. Because now he will spend the next 3 pages explaining to Trump how saying one thing does not mean support for the Iranian regime. Sigh.

And maybe Chuck needs to do a negative disclaimer. Along the lines of -"Disclaimer: me not saying something does not indicate agreement"

Trump makes bold claim as he 'prepares to extend blockade' of Hormuz Strait

US President Donald Trump has claimed that Britain's King Charles is in agreement with him over 'never letting' Iran have a nuclear weapon and it has been reported that Trump is planning to extend the blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz

You mean like:

“You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French”

Thx for new thread @Spandauer

I am no royalist but KC did well, he had Congress applauding him. I was watching Vance and Johnson behind. Vance avoided clapping a few times, shit scared of Donnie no doubt.

Alastair Campbell nailed it on X:

Excellent speech by King Charles. So good to hear the clarion cry for Ukraine, for NATO, for nature and the environment, for democracy and the checks on power. JFK mentioned more than Trump. Starmer directly quoted. Europe mentioned several times. Vance looked ill. I loved it. Loved the confidence in British and European values

TemporarilyCantDoMyself · Today 08:55

Jeez yesterday the contrast between Trump's outpouring and the classiness of Chuck's speech was astonishing. Light years apart but Trumpington will totally believe he's on the same level. Two kings! No mate, a king and a bellend, hence the gift.
He's Teflon. Unhumiliatable.
Thank you for the new thread.

@logicisall

Carry over from last thread.

It was this line in the article you posted :

"Iran is utterly dependent on selling its oil. "

Is it? That's all I am asking. Is that factually true?

logicisall · Today 10:36

From the Rigzone article on previous thread.

Iran has signaled it may be willing to accept an interim deal to reopen the strait in exchange for Washington ending its blockade of Iranian ports, while postponing more complex negotiations over the country’s nuclear program. It is insisting on keeping some control over shipping through the strait, which Washington is unlikely to accept.
Trump rejected that offer from Iran, according to the WSJ, and told aides it showed that Iran wasn't negotiating in good faith. Mediators in Pakistan expect Iran will submit a revised proposal to end the war in the next few days, CNN reported on Tuesday,

Is it even possible for someone to be appointed as chief negotiator who has the approval of both political and religious groups. How far apart are the factions?

I think that Trump now thinks he has Iran over a barrel if they are perceived as wanting the strait open more than he does.

I would say that the next moves for Iran depend on how much military ordnance and boats they have left. Can they maintain the impasse by holding the other GCC to ransom post the ceasefire ending.

No info on what was agreed with Russia after the Iranian delegation met with Putin recently.

Re Russia. They have re-started Moscow - Tehran flights.

Re factions. I find it interesting how factions in an authoritarian state mean the failure of that state is imminent. That is what the US MAGA faction say anyway.

Isn't "division and no compromise" the exact thing that MAGA want to export ? So when Trump says "the regime is collapsing", does he never stop to think what he would say if the NYT predicted a blue wave at the midterms.
