About nuclear war and it's effects:
https://nuclearfamine.org/

I guess it's kind of a horrifying topic for most. But I guess interesting and cool info this old man shares.
Not the best responsive site to be honest.

He's Keinbernd now. He's supposed to come and watch sumo with us, but he missed the last basho as a whole too. Instead he goes on partying, concerts, foreign trips and whatnot.
Disappointing.

I think the core of the argument is that the two bombs that was used in real life situation (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) were dropped on cities built with timber and paper walls, this is why they were so devastating. While churches and whatnot made out of stone remained and the people inside fared better.
Plus if we compare the bombs with Chernobyl (happened 40 years some days ago) Chernobyl was more devastating since that was a continuous event that went on for 10 days until they covered the core. And even after some radioactive material was spread. Bombs however instantaneous.
But we have way more destructive bombs, missiles with many warheads. Plus I'm not sure what he said about the nuclear fallout.

About the Distant Early Warning Radar Line in the arctic, along the American coast line.
It, was designed and built during the “Cold War” as the primary line of air defence warning of “Over the Pole” invasion of the North American Continent.
The actual construction of the 58 sites took place between 1955 and 1957.

This is a virtual museum dedicated to it:

Previous:  >>/51681/

Around 2024 December 8 (I think the real date was the 7th) Assad was overthrown in Syria and left for Russia, went into exile with some of his family. Since then the Turkish backed and Turkish proxy Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took over most of the country, led by Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa aka. Abu Mohammad al-Julani who risen through the ranks of al-Qaeda to found al-Nusra Front which he turned into the HTS, and now he is the President of Syria and changed his kaftan to a suit. And Syria turned from the enemy of the US into a client or a client of a client (Turkey's client).

Syria is weak and divided. Her leaders really has to bow to their masters, I don't think they like this, but they can't do anything else since Syria can't defend herself.
To the very north the other Turkish backed faction Syrian National Army (SNA) has a small enclave still I think. In the North East in the Kurdish populated areas the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continue to rule, while Turkey has a buffer zone protruding into their territory. New formation emerged in the south where the Druze minority lives, I believe they are now essentially autonomous.
During the chaos of Assad's fall Israel invaded from the occupied Golan Heights and occupied more of Syria, calling it a security zone, similar to the Turkish one in the north.
I think the event that really showed Syria's vulnerability and that it is just a toy for all the stronger states around was the Israel-Iran war, when the IDF jets used Syrian airspace to refuel, blatantly disregarding any appearance of sovereignty.

But Syria left the isolation, the US stopped with the containment policy, sanctions were lifted. Now the leaders of Syria try to establish international relations. Just yesterday al-Sharaa met with Putin in Moscow. He also met Trump and Macron too not in Moscow - which our lad Clement Molin found distasteful, if the translation is correct. I also heard they established relations with India as well. So they are reaching out to everyone they can.

Interesting thought from Wyatt of DPA:
https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=wK48NyQL3Wc
https://youtube.com/watch?v=wK48NyQL3Wc
He says Ukraine can continue with strategic strikes indefinitely. Ukraine reduced manpower losses, by relying drones more and more to hold the front - this tactics works because how Russia fights this war. So manpower doesn't matter much anymore. So even if Russia occupies whole Donbas, they can't just end the conflict.
He doesn't say this, but since Ukraine's economic and production base isn't really in Ukraine but elsewhere in Europe, Russia can't destroy their factories much. And what they destroy, Ukraine can rebuild. So it's a constant knocking down again and again.
So yeah, let's say Russia conquers the rest of Donetsk this winter the latest. Then what? They could say: hey we reached our goal we want to end the war. But Kiev can say no. And they do easier since manpower losses are lower.
There are many other things in play, so this is a lopsided approach (for example there are equipment losses too).
Russia really has to innovate to intercept Ukrainian drones and rockets.

Matt's video with the Australian diplomat was pretty gud. The old man knew exactly what his position should be on the topics, and sounded level headed.

I assume the used the reports, videos, and geolocations to map out the events. I wonder how much is a deduction, hypothesis, and creative fantasy.


Aragchi had talks in Qatar today. He sure travel a lot.
Trump tweeted that he talked with everyone in the region (except Iran) and things go well and soon everything be all right. He also said often recently that Iran can't have nuclear weapon - seems to agree with the Iranian position which is the same since forever, and they always say the same.
I don't know if US troop buildup continues or not. UAE seemed to decide not to remain passive subject of Iranian attacks if the conflict heats up but directly aligned themselves with Israel and the US. Since the other side of the strait is their land, they could be an important springboard to whatever the Washington wants to do there if they want to do anything.
I don't think Trump is enthusiastic about doing anything more.
If the bombing campaign had been so successful then they would not have resorted to the blockade and if the blockade had been showing more success then they would have start with that instead of the bombings.
Generating popular revolt failed, no guerilla warfare by separatist, and they did not launched punctuated military attacks either. At this point they are running out of the foreign policy tools.
Trump tweeted the Persuasion policy of Obama was shit, and frankly the Containment did nothing, this is why he started the bombings.
Basically three path remains:
1. continue Containment, giving up, moving on
2. Engagement, free Iran from the shackles of Containment and treat them as any normal state
3. launch an Invasion.

Last Ukraine war map wankery was on February 1st:  >>/55060/ since then it's all Iran and Trump.
These days the constantly turning vinyl record is Ukraine having the upper hand, on the advance, beating back Russians. As Matt of WillyOAM said today: they claim this without acknowledging that Russia every had the upper hand. And similarly they captured back clay they never acknowledged they lost to the Russians.
What's new is the Ukrainian strategic drone strikes:  >>/55393/ which won't win war, but it seems Russia isn't that successful to intercept them, yet.

I think the reason for the slower pace of Russian advancement is two fold. First it's spring, mud season. Advancements are slower, for fighting is more painful.
Second, they reached an operationally important goal: capturing Pokrovsk-Mirnograd. Now they reorganize, resupply, probably give some of the units some rest. They will start again on new main axes. I assume the main goal is the "liberation" of Donetsk oblast, taking Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
One solid base could be Pokrovsk-Mirnograd and push towards north from here. Another direction is Kostiantinivka and along the chain of settlements to NW. Third the ex-Siversk front, to move the line up to Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. And ofc there is still Lyman.
All the rest, Sumy, Kharkov, Dnipro, Zap are secondary, supportive, to stretch the AFU. In Kherson nothing happens.
I'm not sure if we'll be able to tell when they start, the whole war is one long offensive since they built things up by 2023 autumn-winter, which sometimes seems more intensive and "faster" paced, then slows down. Will there be another FAB campaign like what our lad Molin mapped before?

Let's just check DeepState.

Previous thread:  >>/36217/

Found fun informational. It's dated, I think from 2019 but things seems to be the same. Not sure about that Paris Climate Agreement tho.

As in last post in prev thread stated today EU Parliament voted back Ursula von der Leyen as the president of the EU Commission (EU govt. basically).
719 deputy
707 votes
401 yes
284 no
15 abstained
7 invalid votes
She's so dumb, and the dumbest statements she makes. She's also a bit dated, she was first elected in 2019. But it shows how strong the leftlib is, they stay in power as expected, despite all the bleeting in the leftlib press about far-right danger.

They are not hard to explain, one was a nut job who sprinted at a security checkpoint with a gun and got shot, the other was a nut job who drew a gun at a security checkpoint and got shot. They didn't sneak through any checkpoints.

The first shooter was staying in the hotel that the event was being held in and the second was just a dude walking down a public street which he is fully entitled to do, there was no way to stop him other than at a checkpoint and a checkpoint did stop him.

Kirk shooter didn't shoot the president but just some public speaker.

There was the ear shooter who tried sniping Trump of course, it seems like the reason he was able to get there was because there was confusion between the secret service and Police over who was responsible for that building.

In theory all it should take is one line of sight and somebody can shoot trump. Probably a determined and calculating shooter could do it and it would not surprise me if it happens one day.



 >>/55413/
Buy bunch of dry pasta? Not sure.
As for day to day living I don't really expect much change. The lawmakers and their puppetmasters give us coloring books and we have to abide the rules of it.
I kinda fear for the Hungarian culture. Orbán govt not just let people do Hungarian stuff, but they had some faux-pro-Hungarian rhetoric and policy actions (like setting up some institution for research of Hungarian genetics and whatnot that fused with the old tradition). Among the backers of the current govt. there are people who hate Hungary, Hungarians, Hungarian culture, who openly deny it's existence.

Right now two things going on.
The current govt discovers items in the budget that has no cover to back it, in the thousands of billions of HUFs. That's liek a 100 Euro or so I dunno, but a lot. On the other hand they have promises to lower tax and give more gibsmedats to people. So they say they'll revise and examine everything and will audit govt spending and will keep the Orbán govt responsible, while slimming bureaucracy and whatnot. And try to get the money from the EU, but that has a deadline and I dunno, drama is high.
The other one is a scandal around a pardon the previous President of the Republic, Novák Katalin gave to some dude. The crime in itself is not really serious: he tried to cover up someone else's crime. Where it gets scandalous is that the crime the other dude committed is a sexual crime against underage people. So ofc everyone got riled up, crying pedophilia and ofc everyone wants to look very strict and demand justice because they fear they'll get accused with pedophilia... the accusation that can ruin lives. This was the reason Novák left her office, back then when this happened and got publicized.
However when this happened the Minister of Justice was Varga Judit, who was the wife of our current PM, Magyar Péter. Their marriage and divorce wasn't the nicest - there is another ongoing scandal around this but I won't go into that.
Anyway now they are publishing the files, and they behave like as if they were the Epstein files. Right now what I'm hearing everyone tries to pile the shit onto Novák. As far as it can be told someone put this case of in front of her to sign it and pardon the dude but noone seems to know who was it.

 >>/55413/
Watching the video.
> hungary is getting richer
Heh. What news does he read and/or listen?
> romania stable government
I don't even know when they had a stable govt last time. Orbán was japing that during his time, in 16 years, there were 11 or so Romanian prime ministers...
> expecting current PSD coalition to fix the economy with the previous PSD coalition fucked up
> János, I...
Also in one of his previous video he just said how Orbán's Hungary's economy is worse than Romania.
> paying for medical care every time they visit the doctor
They just discovered the free market. Romania caught up to the US finally.
All right I stop commenting every line.

I'm fairly sure I posted Alabama 3 (A3 in the US) before. But here you go, The Telly Show Theme Song of all time.

I watched/listened this video:
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=8EnkhQeTgiY

Some grille listenes the full Reign in Blood album, for the first time, in one sitting.
Sometimes I watch music reaction videos. As always most are trash (not thrash like this one), couple of good ones, I really enjoyed this I have to say.
She really has an upbeat attitude as if she wasn't listening to songs about death, murder, suffering, and torture. And the music wouldn't be like a barrel half full of nails shaken by an epileptic mong. I like the album, it's a classic
She's right, one can hear the punk influence in it.

For me they still are those guys. Trujillo got in too late for me and those albums ain't much good. Cliff Burton was too early for me. And Mustain is way too early.

Previous one is autosäging.

Wanna watch The Longest Yard, the original Burt Reynolds movie.
I only see two remakes, the Mean Machine with Vinnie Jones, and the Adam Sandler comedy from 2005. Probably the only good Adam Sandler movie. It's greatest selling point is the catchy tunes played in the background and the supporting cast. Judging by the screenshots it follows the original story quite tightly. The Mean Machine is adapted to the circumstances of a Bri'is prison and normal football. It was entertaining too.
One more remake was made, and Egyptian one: Captain Masr in 2015. Not sure if it's available anywhere, or has any English dubs or subs. Also features normal football.

Excellent thread ebryberndy, i've gleaned many good additions to my watchlist.
One movie I personally can recommend is A Serious Man by the Coen Brothers. As Barry Zellin said to Jeffrey Epstein, "run, do not walk and see A Serious Man, a film
by the Coen brothers." Do be warned that it is an extremely jewish movie, but rest assured that the Coen Brothers are masters of their craft and the movie is a consummate juvenalian satire of humans in general and ellis islanders in particular. 
A show I can reccomend is "Yes, Minister". It's a well-done geggy sitcom about Bongland bureaucracy.
I would give more recs, but I either can't think of them off the top of my head rn, or it's stuff most kinophiles are already familiar with.
Also I'm not sure why I'm getting Czechiaball. I'm an American using an American veep :P


 >>/55373/
"Did" is a bit of a stretch, but yes, the US cornered Japan so much it had no other choice but attack. And the US govt. knew this very well.

 >>/55374/
I know about Serious Sam.
As for British. I follow Clarkson's Farm. Very calming reality show. With some humour.

Reelest not tabloid news at all.
Mr and Mrs Macron probably had a difference over something, and the Mrs pushed Mr's face.
Media says he got slapped but it's not really a slap. It's a push.
Also, nice save Mr President.


Nearing to Silvester - that is New Years Eve - which is about merriment and silly stuff, among other things. So here's something fun.
This news "news" totally avoided me. Bridgette Macron - the wife of Emmanuel Macron French President - is a man!
Now this was aired by Candace Owens who is an I dunno who, but her yt channel has over 5mil subscribers:
https://yewtu.be/channel/UCL0u5uz7KZ9q-pe-VC8TY-w
https://youtube.com/channel/UCL0u5uz7KZ9q-pe-VC8TY-w

I'm sure she has a longish video exfoliating her onions about the topic, I might dig it out tomorrow perhaps. Or not. It's not that interesting.
She got sued for defamation by Macron, instead of doing a genetic test. Not sure how things standing even this news is like half a year stale.

I have one undeniable proofs that Mrs Macron is in fact a woman.
'member this post just above  >>/54294/ when she pushes/punches him with both hands? No man would do that, not even the most estrogenated mtf creatures.

ITT: post interesting sattelite images and what's notable about them.

These are shots from Rondônia state, where human settlement is strikingly clear. Highways -most notably, the BR-364 flowing SE to NE- and their evenly spaced perpendicular side roads flow deep into the jungle, with deforestation, cattle herding, agriculture and urbanization (roughly in this order) following suite. This leaves a light green (mostly composed of pasture) grid dotted with gray points where lines meet, overlaid on a dark green matrix. Few other places have so many clear, sharp edges that can be easily seen from extreme heights.

Always thought pivot irrigation farms looked cool. Picsrel: Aerial views of Orania, sprawling PIFs in rural Kansas
Also, while on the subject of circular cities: Nördlingen! A perfectly circular German mediaeval town built inside of a meteor crater, now known as 'die Rieskrater'. 
And while we're on the subject of curious mediaeval cities, supposedly Bologna Italy had skyscrapers during the Renaissance.

I build them in Tropico 4. But sometimes it's better to keep the regular farms.

Yeah, Bologna had those. And perhaps couple other towns. They were like castles for patricians.
Some still remains.
Wanted some google streetview from the hill south of town but too many goddamn hedges, can't see shit.

They're a good contrast to all the right angles in cropland. Or the desert.

Cramped and ominous. I love it.
