    Yes, you’re welcome! Imperial is, I’m sorry to say, part of what we are…my opinion is complicated, but the oceans acted as a filter increasing the proportion of conquest-minds from Europe…so it really is part of the biology, and this is reflected in the cut-throat capitalism that’s come to dominate and bring the moral rot and servile conformist delusion.

    Speaking of domination and means…the bomb’s for Russia (Groves)…well the bomb’s for all now…which may bring sobriety, or not. See my post at WMD on Postol and Danny D…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2kUSbigpl0

    FWIW I expect the Iranians will by-pass the gun design and go right to implosion, thus I disagree with Postol’s speculation.

    “A senior security official in Tehran has told RT that Iran is prepared to take action unless Israel is punished and the US provides compensation for its strikes on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities. ”

    https://www.rt.com/news/621588-iran-us-israel-war/

    “If the compensation for the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities is not paid and the Zionist regime is not punished, Iran is ready to take measures to restore its historical deterrence against this regime,” the anonymous source said in an exclusive interview on Wednesday.

    Addressing Washington’s request to resume nuclear talks, the official stated that Tehran had not agreed to a permanent ceasefire and considers negotiations premature. “The Americans are pursuing the start of negotiations, but Iran… is in a state of temporary cessation of the hostilities,” he said.”

    For the US this demand is impossible to agree to. It does sound reasonable to me. 

    But then we all knew it warn’t over, didn’t we? Round two any time…

    Davis and Postol discuss the potential Iranian bomb… The good doctor P offers by email request a copy of his detailed briefing on this matter. He posits the “gun” design aka Hiroshima bomb….which though wasteful of “poot” is simple and easy to build and reliable enough that there no need to test it….the video is over an hour long…https://youtu.be/q2kUSbigpl0  It consists of a slug of U and a cylinder of U, the slug is stationary at one end of the tube, and the cylinder forms a piston in a section of heavy wall tube such as a section of cannon barrel. The cylinder is at the end opposite the slug. There’s plenty of gunpowder behind it. There’s a bit of polonium encapsulated in beryllium positioned so that it gets squished between the two pieces of U when these are slammed together. The slamming is achieved by the gunpowder exploding behind the cylinder of U, driving it down the tube so that it registers on the slug – a nice close fitting is desired. Squishing the beryllium exposes the polonium, which is very radioactive…the resulting burst of neutrons triggers the fission in the U. iirc South Africa built about 12 of these.  The discussion again…https://youtu.be/q2kUSbigpl0

    Big electrical transformers are essential “machines”…and they take time and expertize to make…Inside China Business….”Another casualty of the trade wars: now we don’t have transformers”

    No got? Welcome your poverty in the dark…   These machines are almost all filled with dielectric insulating oil…if the oil leaks out while the machine is energized….ZAP! Sabotage is always possible, but they fail all by themselves, particularly when maintenance (cleaning of their guts and re-filling with clean oil) is “deferred” (or “pencil-whipped’, ie faked…which happens, I’ve seen “deferred” maintenance kill a nuclear station in 10 years!)

    Iran’s New Chinese Air Defenses BLINDSIDE Israel w/ Brian Berletic, Carl Zha & KJ Noh

    Danny Haiphong and the fellas chat about the nifty new stuff… (I call attention to my prior posts about the encrypted radar return enabled by Chinese hardware and software…the groundmapping satellites’ beams can be piggy-backed with communication data. My opinion is that one aspect of this is the tracking of all aircraft in near real time…”stealth” being an arcane idea. Whether or not the Chinese engineers have developed this capacity is unclear, but it seems entirely possible and desirable.)

    Yeah, I like Larry too…nicknamed him Gunner Johnson, which is an honorific in my mind…one of his activities is or was expert instructor in firearms, and I’ve seen some of his views in such matters….they match my own opinions, through I am much more conservative and old fashioned. I think we’re all feeling our way, Larry included, feeling our way to understanding WW3, its “shape”… Amarynth coined term [we are in the] “foothills” [of the war]. I’d say [we are in the] “skirmishing” [phase]…much the same meaning. In the Helmer interview above, which is quite long, many topics are raised…including the tanker war that’s well-begun already. I do recommend the entire interview between Nima and Helmer. Back to Larry…When I was employed by the army some of my mates nicknamed me “Gunny” – (never mind why !) – but that was many years ago and now I am “elderly” and the term no longer fits.

    Ar sonar21 Larry wrote: “Why 50 days? Did Putin tell Trump during their conversation on July 3 that Russia will defeat Ukraine by September 2? Unlikely, but I could not come up with an alternative explanation other than to conclude that this is an arbitrary number and, as the date approaches, will permit Trump to reverse himself and set another artificial deadline.”

    Some coincidences listed at Locals:

    sept 3 = 50 days

    The day of the Russian President’s state visit to China.

    80th anniversary of the Victory in WWII in China. also In China, it’s celebrated not on May 9th, but on September 3rd – the day after Japan has signed the Act of Unconditional Surrender.

    In Russia, the victory over the Japanese is also celebrated on September 3. At the time of Putin’s visit to Beijing, Trump’s “50 days” will expire.

    Some may think this will disrupt or unbalance the leaders of the civilizational super-powers. I don’t.

    John Helmer: Russia’s Oreshnik Moment comes CLOSER  Nima and Comrade Helmer discuss Fatboy’s senility. FWIW I note indications of heart failure in Fatboy, swollen legs and edema ’round the ankles – his shoes untied (!) Bruises on hands suggesting “blood thinners”, age and diet and obesity…https://youtu.be/X1CLU29YbUA   Senility argument seems plausible to me. He does seem to be unable to remember things. In the example of a racist criminal murderer pervert and pathological prevaricator it’s hard to be sure!

    At the previous thread I wrote: “…on the subtle Chinese communication system encoding radar reflections…” see post #61584  The ground mapping satellites’ radar beams as they sweep the surface can be modulated by polarizing reflectors on or near the surface…there’s a lotta software. It’s not broadcast, so it’s not the sort of signal that can be located by “enemy”…and it’s probably really difficult to jam, and it’s crypto…neat!   Well I’ve been thinking… If an airplane flies through the beam and reflects radar that too “modulates” and if the airplane does not reflect radar it makes a “hole” in the sweep – a hole that’s detectable ahbetcha.  Either way the airplane is detectable. Obviously big airplanes like the B-2 would detect better…I have no idea if the present software permits detecting airplanes, but it probably could, if it doesn’t, it will. The system is outlined here: …https://youtu.be/xVGWhFW3WpU

    When she was still young, but after Kennedy was murdered, mother told me “these people are nazis” She was speaking of the people that Dave Talbot speaks of here: https://youtu.be/CXzsQlMpfUs  That was ten years ago. I am not in the video, but went to ‘Frisco to hear Dave speak at City Lights about the time the video was made. Give it 10 minutes and you’ll get the idea. Since then the character has developed to zionazi. There remain however “pure” nazis…sans the campy uniforms (except for special private parties!)  And it’s not just in Murka…UK, Europe…birds of a feather….remember “The Bomb is for Russia” (Groves 1944) Does Groves quality as a nazi? I don’t see how he does not. The nazis got the bomb alright, just not the Germans….

    It’s a quote from Schyver “In my considered opinion, this is almost certainly the single most inexplicable and portentous series of geopolitical blunders in recorded history”.

    There is an explanation though…an old one, classical, it’s what destroyed MacBeth and his wife, and which brought Birnam Wood… Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat

    We witness the benefits of an expensive private school education…the boys learn naught save conformity. And now that will destroy them. God makes exquisite strategy.

    He’s right about the biggest fubar in history…or as Herr Gobbles used to say alot> Einmalig in der Geschichte
