Is charging Castro the next step towards military intervention to go and arrest him/take over?
Cuba poses a "national security threat" to the US and the likelihood of a peaceful agreement is "not high", US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said.
From the BBC this morning so I'd say yes

Which is bullshit. They can't even keep their electricity on and have no fuel, so how in the hell are they a threat?
Do you think he's forgotten that the last war he started still has a few loose ends to tie up?
Marco Rubio is a traitor to the country of his parents birth; imagine siding with an imperialist giant against the land of your ancestors. No matter what your political persuasion.

He needs another distraction 🙁
The Cuba situation distresses me greatly. A beautiful country, lovely people, possibly becoming a humanitarian crisis zone purely as a result of US foreign policy (not just under Trump).
You're dead right, the USA has treated Cuba shockingly for many decades. Obama started to make some positive moves, but Trump II has made thing many magnitudes worse than anything before.
Oh yippie America wants to start another war it will lose, just like it has every other time since WW2. THe Orange Blob must be getting pretty desperate for more distractions. Either that or the family investments need a boost
It's all in the markets. He just needs a few more stock trades (3700 msince the start of the year?) or a few bets on Polymarket (Sgtrategic advisor: Don Jnr) and it's money in the bank.
the only way I can see Cuba is a threat to the US is if Marko Rubio is a sleeper cell
genuinely surprised that (some) republicans have grown a spine over his corruption

meanwhile hes trying really hard to show that he doesn't have dementia

It is fascinating trying to guess when any of them will grow a spine when you look at some of his key positions/ catch phrases.
Release the Epstein files.
No more foreign wars.
Drain the swamp.
Its rare but accumulative when they figure they have been royally ****ed.
Marco Rubio is positioning for President in 2028
Trump will go, JD Vance doesn't publicly appear to do much, in common with US VPs, while Rubio is widely seen as the competent one, holding down two jobs as Secretary of State and Acting NSA and jetting here, there and everywhere
JD Vance doesn't publicly appear to do much
Vance is just an opportunist. He’ll hitch his wagon to whoever/whatever guarantees his own personal advancement. Remember that he publicly slated Trump right up until the point where he didn’t.
To be fair to him, he knew Iran would be a complete disaster (and the fallout has barely started yet) so he’s silently slid into the background like Homer Simpson disappearing into that hedge, so he won’t get tarred with it. As he disagreed with the Emperor he was sidelined anyway.
Given how thick the average MAGA supporter is, he’ll probably make that stick too
One way or another, he looks like being the next occupant of the White House. I wonder if he’ll finish the ballroom?

Great, yet another evangelical Christian in the whitehouse, I imagine the lego memes of his hair and extruded plastic demenour will soon be forthcoming
"Hell has no fury like a Canadian scorned" or something like that.

He’s now clearly madder than a bucket of spiders.
Imagine in Obama’s day if someone had told you that in ten years time, not only would an American president be constantly posting such totally unhinged shite on social media, but that we’re all just so used to it by now that nobody even notices it any more
I genuinely think some folks in what's left of the Republican party are just hoping that he'll clock out before they are forced to remove him because it's obvious to everyone that he's a demented old fool, who shits himself and who has to have regular health check-ups to measure the increasing rapidity of his mental and physical health decline.
The worst bit about the declien is that he is no longer even thanking us for our attention in this matter.
That loss of appreciation is hurtful. Even my grandmother, who was heavily impacted by dementia at the end, was more polite than that. She always had cake. Always.
The new AWACS plane for Canada - due to be known as the FU-47 😆 (or maybe that's what they'll call the Gripens if they get them).
Just watch it OMAN, if you don't behave, we'll bomb you ?
The new AWACS plane for Canada - due to be known as the FU-47
Pleeeeaaaase let this be true. That's pure brilliant.
The new AWACS plane for Canada - due to be known as the FU-47
would be funny, but I doubt it. I think what's happened here is that Boeing are producing the next gen-fighter concept for the USAF and it's designation is F-47 and the Boeing version of the Saab/Bombardier EWACS planes is the E-7
I think someone's put 2 and 2 together and got 16

They can't have Felon either; NATO already gave that to Russia for the Su-57 (which is close)
Just chucking this in, 30% UK components
Ukraine will also be purchasing 20 new Gripen aircraft through an EU support loan, ensuring their future capacity.
I see the shitehouse has released a video featuring “Deep Time” from the new Boards of Canada album “Inferno”, I guess they want to jump on the buzz with the new album being released to everyone t’morn

is he dead yet?
is he dead yet?
Well he's had two Judges rule against him in the last few days - one scuppering his thing of the Justice Department suing itself (and ultimately him - in terms of chain of command) to create his $1.8bn slush fund for Pro-Trump criminals and the other ruling that he has to take his name off the Kennedy Centre - which will really piss in his chips. He's threatening flounce from the running / ruining of Kennedy Centre completely if he can't have his name on it - which I'd imagine everyone there must be very upset about.
Whenever this happens he goes if a huff, stops posting on social media for about 48hrs and everyone assumes he must have died.
Yes the question is maybe 'Is he dead again?'
Meanwhile, the gravy train keeps on rolling…
1789 Capital Management, LLC took a chunk of Vulcan Elements and shortly after the USG loaned Vulcan $620mn.
Don jnr is a partner in 1789
The Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) announces a joint $700 million conditional loan commitment with Vulcan Elements ("Vulcan") and ReElement Technologies ("ReElement") to increase domestic Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnet production and significantly bolster U.S. critical minerals supply chains.

Magnets? Surely not. I mean ... nobody even knows what magnets are.
‘Trumpstock’ to apparently celebrate 250 years of the United States had an embarrassing shit line up anyway (Vanilla Ice or Milli Vanilli anyone?) but now even they’ve pulled out it looks like it’s just going to be him, on his own, rambling like a madman
Anyone with even an ounce of self awareness would realise how sad and tragic this makes him look, but then that’s never something that’s ever troubled Don
(Vanilla Ice or Milli Vanilli anyone?)
Milli Vanilli pulled out having not even been asked to perform. The first thing they knew about it was when the Trump team announced the booking - complete with a picture of someone who isn't in the band.

TBF with Milli Vanilli that's not so much of a surprise

Still got it after all these years 🙂
the other ruling that he has to take his name off the Kennedy Centre - which will really piss in his chips.
He wrote a 500 word all caps-post on Truth Social about how much he really really totally doesn't care at all.
They released the results of his medical a couple of days ago, mostly its bullshit of course, but the one that got me was apparently as a 108kg* 190cm tall bloke, he has a seated systolic of 105. Which would explain why he falls into a dead faint every time he stands up...
*It's worth noting that (apart from the fact he must be pushing 120kg easily) if were just a bit heavier, say 109kg he would move from 'overweight' to 'obese' from his BMI. weird that, huh?
Interesting post on Threads from Seth Abramson

My brother who lives in the US responded to an article that I linked regarding Trump’s 250 antics:
Given how much he's falling asleep at the moment, he might not notice the glittery body paint and nipple tassels.
