SchrΓΆdinger’s Nuclear Programme… simultaneously totally obliterated in Operation Midnight Hammer (June 22nd 2025) and on the point of presenting an imminent threat to the US on February 28th 2026.

Well, that was interesting.
All the pundits predicting another Ducati/Marquez season domination have had an early cold shower.
First #Ducati in 6th and 16.8 seconds behind the winner.
It’s only round 1, but I think the only predictable thing about 2026 will be its unpredictability.

I work with somebody who has an apartment in The Fairmont… fortunately he’s in Europe.

I'm 100% behind the US war with Iran with the stated end game of regime change.

... of course, I mean regime change in the US.

Surely the Russians can share their 'kompromat' with Iran in exchange for a load of Shahed drones.

There's a certain level of 'bread and circuses' vibe about relying on contrived rivalries to boost viewer numbers whilst making 300 bhp bikes 'race' around car park circuits so that the Instagram influencers can get comped in a 5* hotels within 15 minutes of a circuit.

Pedro should have bumped into him and fallen off, then we could have had 10 years of bitter rivalry, booing at podium ceremonies and endless tiresome media re-runs of the β€œincident”.

Weird that #Trump has billions to defend #Natanyahu and Israel’s interests but can only SELL weapons to #Ukraine to defend European interests…

It’s just lazy economics to blame Chinese state subsidies for lack of manufacturing competitiveness.

Trump and Netanyahu start WW3 at the exact moment that war is declared between Marquez & Acosta.

One thing at a time please, I haven’t got the bandwidth to deal with all this action.

It’s very niche… but I would exhort you to give it a watch, you’ll see more action in 1 sprint race than in a whole season of the F1 snorefest.

In all this excitement about the #MM93 v #PA37 incident everybody’s overlooking the fact that #AM73 has reverted to type, ruining #FG49 β€˜s on lap 1. With clear track he’s fast but as soon as he’s in a pack he comes to pieces like a cheap watch.

Apparently the Greens made it divisive, not the guy who says brown people can never be English.
Who’d have thought it.

#Ducati strategy was hopeless. If the sky is black with 30 minutes to go, get a banker lap in...

#MB72 under the lap record despite the sketchy conditions.
#MM93 in 2nd place, but a country mile behind... and he only really did one fast lap with lots of running wide and off the track in all his other fast lap attempts.
#JM89 in a solid 5th.
#FB63 15th because he couldn't take his brain out...

Didn’t Trump say he’d secured the border?
Seems weird that a convicted criminal can get in, without being elected President, obviously.

They do say cockroaches can survive a nuclear apocalypse, and these guys are going to prove that theory.

2026 is going to be interesting because all the Ducatis are now the same basic spec, the Aprilia will be closer from round 1 onwards and Honda have made huge improvements.
Yamaha maybe not so much.
KTM always a wildcard… the renaissance of ViΓ±ales? πŸ₯΄

I'm not saying I don't understand the urge, I'm pretty much estranged from my father for things he did to my mother, but she had more to consider than family loyalty... she was the Head-Of-State and should have considered the damage it would do to the country, and bring the monarchy into disrepute.

It shows how close the US is to a DDR Stasi (State Security) system in which 90,000 employees ran a system of informants that reached about 175,000 (2.5% of the population).

Perhaps if our dearly departed Queen Elisabeth had been slightly less willing to ignore all the evidence of his wrong doing in the name of family loyalty, this stain on the family's reputation would have been dealt with decades ago...

But Trump says we're not talking about affordability any more because he's won that argument...

War with Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 25% of the world's oil trade passes each year.

Buckle up America... higher prices are on their way.

R/W propaganda rules...

If you're going to say racist shit, always send a tame POC to do it.
If you're going to say misogynistic shit, always send a tame woman to do it.
If you're going to say homophobic shit, always send a tame homosexual to do it.

It makes counter-arguments more difficult.

The US is about to enter another un-winnable war in the Middle East in order to deflect attention from a President's multiple domestic problems.
