    In 2021, an astonishing 66% of Southern Republicans and 50% of independents were in favor of secession. The West Coast also showed strong support for secession but of a different political flavor, this time being mostly supported by Democrats.

    In this sense, the U.S. is already in more of a precarious situation than the USSR was in early 1991…

    I remember disco. In those days it was everywhere. I ignored it.  Dylan, Airplane, Beatles, and Rock were my tunes, and bikes and beers.  Remember  the Stone Ponies? After that, we really liked Maria Muldaur> https://youtu.be/8bjzuSO27fA

    I twigged to the difference ‘tween the nazis of Third Reich and the zionists… camp.

    Camp> Throughout the 20th century, “camp” has indeed stereotyped the gay community, but queer culture has made camp into an art form, as can be seen more recently in everything from John Waters’s 1972 film Pink Flamingos to the reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race.

    The zionists’ uniforms are not camp. They’re not as funny as their German nazi  Kameradinnen

    The femine was deliberate…

    FYI everybody> The United States used Article 51 to justify the assassination of Qasem Soleimani and U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and Syria against an Iran-backed militia group. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chapter_VII_of_the_United_Nations_Charter&diffonly=true#Article_51:_Self-defence

    Art 51 text>

    Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.

    FWIW I did not imagine the music over the Korean military parade was mocking. My ROTC instructor was a wounded combat vet of both W2 and Korean Wars, he had nothing but respect for the Koreans’ fighting abilities, both the Commies and the Fascist sides…well, especially the Communist Korean Army.  Sometimes people have differing opinions  de gustibus non est disputandum. 

    I never cared for the BeeGees though.

    Nuclear explosion of enhanced radiation type at proper altitude does not create a great deal of hot particles. It gives a lethal dose of radiation, not so much blast. (Neither does a normal nuclear gadget at altitude.) Mostly just the bomb casing and electronics, and reacted chemical explosive residues…. So-called neutron bomb type. However it can’t kill deep underground. I have vague memory that the nazis, er, “zionists”, have enhanced radiation bombs. The wind direction matters alot for near ground and ground detonations, ie when “fireball” and earth are in contact…then a great amount of soil and debris are raised aloft, reflected shock waves, the heavy hot stuff falling back fairly quickly and “dusting” the areas where it falls,  The distribution of hot particles is non-uniform… according to a DOE geologist I met near Alamogordo Trinity site, we chatted over beers while he burned a joint by the side of the Rio Grand. Anyway, the hot spots are all over the US Southwest and Nevada, many unknown to the people that live on or next to them…this may contribute to the “mysterious” agency of “cancer clusters”, BTW. In vino veritas Comrades!

    The hugging strategy I named snuggle-up.

    The air-bust types may well be used on “own turf”, if the fellers know when to dig in an’ the other fellers don’t.

    https://archive.org/details/OperationDoorstepAndOperationCue   Very droll. “Survival at less than one mile, if dug in”  15kt test. So-called tactical weapon.

    Ted Taylor, great gadget designer, thought that some blast and radiation effects could be directional, a shaped atomic explosive. See project Orion back in the day. An atomic space-ship intended to bomb its way to Mars, nochit!

    Yes,Dear ararynth, they’re crazy…the Gods design to destroy them, and have made them mad so that the world will despise them for a very long time. In a sense we may regard this process as the actual beginning of the end of world war two, imho. This time no escape through Spain to Patagonia by submarine… or Canada or America. The latter two loci may also be ah, “cleansed”. Plenty nazi in those places.

    BTW Che or his dad wrote about the mysterious submarines on the Argentine coast in ’45, abandoned, iirc. Nobody leaves a submarine abandoned without a good reason. They’re probably not far off the beach to-day rustin’ away.

    Heinlein the engineer writer heard, evidently, the rumours about the subs, in Burbank, in Laurel Canyon, where he lived… nochit.

    about wicks… see wet chromatography

    A shallow wicked lamp with diesel fuel works pretty well, but kerosene works better and gives a brighter light. A deep draw from a larger lamp with a tall “tank” will change the flame size as the diesel fluid can’t climb the wick so well as kero. As the fuel burns the flame gets less, of course, the capillary action…the wick acting as a wet strip chromatographic differentiator. This is mostly trivial with kerosene. More significant with the larger molecule with more carbons, as with diesel. Neh, keep it full and it doan matter much.

    This has a certain charming similarity to the Soviet times, and does not contradict the mooted “schedule” for the bigbigwar>

    The new Russian Defense Minister Belousov inspected the construction of a military camp for soldiers of the legendary 155th Pacific Fleet.

    Regarding the deadline for the completion of the facility, he warned that if it is not completed on time, those responsible will face criminal liability. Tough and clear.

    Larry @ Redacted – war in 3 months”. September. Previously a Brit fella whose name I did not record was quoted as saying the Albion planned for war “by August”. Noting that the numerical disparity between the several forces dictates using “special” explosives as the only “viable” method for the nazi forces to even hope for “victory”, and that hope dies last, particularly among those whom the Gods have made mad, and would destroy. 

    For the zionists in Palestine (indistinguishable from nazis) a similar desperation and insanity seems to prevail, listening to Mac @  https://youtu.be/iXD8t7gYpTo

    https://www.skuld.com/topics/cargo/solid-bulk/agricultural-cargoes/transportation-of-wheat/

    A lengthy essay. Worth reading. Worth keeping a copy too.  Noting that many of the ships subject to attack are bulk carriers, and many carry grain. In the instance even a minor damage by rockets, etc, may result in the ruin of a cargo.

    Wet grain in a badly damaged ship may even swell to such an extent that the internal pressure breaks the ship open.

    Essay is detailed, and with examples of fubars, citing of regulations, etc. Relevant to the efforts of the Yemeni to discourage ship traffic in relevant sea lanes. It is noted too, that the rough sea condition, and roll characteristics of ship does not favor the “alternative” cape routes, as > 20 dgrees of roll may bring capsize, nor does it favor maintaining moisture as necessary, etc etc.

    Bulk cargo coal or petcoke (refinery carbon byproduct used in steel making) has somewhat similar hazards. In the carbons especially, fire and autoignition, CO formation, etc, are really nasty. The dusts, smouldering,  are almost impossible to extinguish. I know this as a personal observation working in port loading systems that had long-term fires.

    Each category of bulk cargo has its own particular nature. Wheat is essentially both a good example, and especially important to commerce.

    #33715. You’re right. The political effect of hitting the cargo ships is more liable to benefit the political goal. Nevertheless, banging into the warships without doing much damage also benefits the goal. And in meantime the ‘spensive defense rockets are limited, one at a time by hand at cost plus good buddy contract … Those navy sailors are a factor though, and if they have a bad attitude… or despair… 😉

    In the instance of convoy escort the correct strategy is to focus attacks on the escort ships, not on the cargo ships. Note the cargo ships have no defensive abilities and cannot assist in defending the escorts. It’s as if the cargo ships weren’t there at all. One military target, or at most a small number. However such strategy changes the political effect, particularly if escort ships burn or sink, eg many navy sailors die. Such political effect would, imho, increase chaos and factional strife within the various political and operational structures  of the State(s) attempting to escort. In the present example such political effect would probably be consistent with the aims of the parties objecting to the mass murder of the owners of Palestine. What’s Going on With Shipping Channel (great naval genius!) steadily promotes doing convoy and naval warship escorts!  We speculate that the nazi zone desires that the nazi warships and their crews die, as the strategy is obvious for both the opposing groups.  It is probable that one side is tougher and smarter than the other, a nice asymmetric feature indeed! Note that there are long period effects, navy personnel may become disinclined to re-join their ships if they get ashore, or, more seriously, enlistments and re-enlistments will decline, possibly precipitously. We recall that crew of Donald Cook refused to re-join their ship after Ruskie airplanes demonstrated certain capabilities, and that they wrote/signed a petition, a crime under UCMJ, rather than obey their duty. Imagine the same aboard carrier Ike! Or even aboard the French escorts. Noting that drafted crews make for very poor performance. And that the various nazi recruiters are having to lower standards, which has a perhaps more insidious effect, not only disinclination to duty, but inability to perform. The latter absolutely foundational. If nazi leadership fails to make the correct decision, which is so far the case, the decision falls to the opponent. One sort of action, withdrawal, is superior to being defeated… Basic Mao, basic Sun Tsu, running away preserves something, at least. Bald defeat, especially if public, is far worse… Ike could burn… Then what, naziboy?

    I had forgotten how well-done the film is. https://ok.ru/video/2604756241062  And now, as we see the obedient Olaf and the occupation’s terrible deep roots, running attacks from Germany… and the NATO and the EU revealed as quote “similar” to what would have developed if the mustachioed fella and his gang had won, we see they did not die, but simply escaped to resume again… Also @ https://archive.org/details/DasSchrecklicheMadchenZo  Worth remembering. And of course the way the Germany was when the film was made, compares to the seduction and betrayal…she’s become a whore, pimped by compradors.
