News / The Iran war and Poland [826]

What are you talking about, Bobko?

I'm talking about family.

I'm talking about country.

Perhaps these are outdated concepts to people such as yourself, but I would die for this.

What I mean - is why does a kid born in the inner city of Detroit face a 10X higher potential mortality than a white kid in Boise, Idaho?

Where did we go wrong?

Is then this really the best time to bomb Iran?

My God - I think I have succeeded in making the front page of PF look as uninviting as possible.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [187]

If anything, present-day Poland bends over backwards to accomodate Jewish people

Ok, let me climb down from my throne and shake your hand.

You are a good testament to your race.

Merely attention getting claptrap, Bobko

Another person taking himself too seriously, or being completely clueless about Poland.

I have been Sieg Heiling here at parties (albeit, the Heil is intended for Elon Musk), for quite a bit. Besides some disturbed individuals that take me seriously, everyone else understands it's a joke - when coming from a Russian that has had family members murdered by Nazis.

There's a f*cking abyss, between your fancy words and real life. Wake up.

@AntV

You seem to have had a much more glamorous experience of the city than I have.

Most of my experience of the city, consists of sitting in a moldy bathroom of a pre-war apartment - smoking a dirty bong and watching public access television at 2 am.

If visiting back home, the majority of the time consists of pretending that I am an interesting person in New York, with a vibrant social life. But more often than not it also ends in someone's apartment in a bathroom or a balcony, smoking Marlboro Reds in a 12 sq ft place with 4 200 lb dudes.

Most of my intelligence is toilet/bathroom derived.

Not the sort of thing you're likely looking for.

This fella is not around anymore, as of a few hours ago.

Convicted for spying for Iran.

For the non-autistic, non-Asperger's people... what do you see in his eyes?

Some advice also for Iran - last time Moscow took someone's gold reserve for safekeeping it never returned it.

Stalin simply claimed he doesn't recognize the new fascist government in Madrid.

That's not to say that storing your money in the West is a good idea either - as we Russians can tell you.

P.S.S. - we are living in the stupidest timeline. Look at the below:

Any word in Russian media or anyone else what steps he means?

Hehehe.

Who do you think I am when you say "anyone else"? All I have is Russian media. And of course they would never know, when it comes to something as good as this.

This sort of puts me in awe of America. Some guy, living in Missouri, nearly sabotaged one of America's most important bombing campaigns in the last 50 years. What's gonna happen to him? Nothing.

This is really what makes America such a great country, and why it will be so hard for anyone else to emulate its success.

The rights and freedoms of this one American are bigger than the overarching foreign policy goals of the entire state.

One could bring up McCarthyism and the Red Scare, but even in that case - one has to remember this was a "popular" witch hunt. Americans were largely in support of suspending the civil rights of suspected commies.

Really... America is something else, and I mean this sincerely.

With that in mind, lemme tell you that nobody who is somebody will ever tell you anything in Russia. That guy that reported B-2s flying over his house in Missouri - if he were Russian - he would be in a basement dungeon of the Lubyanka right now regretting he was not born a woman.

Long story short - I don't know anything. Probably the Minister of Defense and head of the National Security Council do not know. Such is the nature of Russia.

There's conjecture about what it could be, but it's still conjecture.

What seems to be a given, is that Russian anti-air defense specialists have been dispatched to advise, and Russian precision strike specialists. They perfected various tactics to breach Ukraine's American and European-provided defenses. The Iranians would likely benefit from this advice.

Then there is some speculation that Iran's nuclear material has been moved to Russia. That what the Iranian foreign minister wants in Moscow this week, is Putin's permission to develop Iranian owned weapons manufactories on Russian territory - to preclude them being disabled by Israel.

There's even rumors that Iran is transferring gold and cash to Moscow in planes loaded with pallets of the stuff. That's not very encouraging to hear, of course, if you are a friend of Iran.

His bluster was to arm Iran with nukes

No - that it was not bluster - because he never meant that we were gonna give them nukes. That he meant someone else, whom we do not control.

Just read in WSJ that Israel is now hitting symbolic targets to message to the Iranian people the regime is weak.

This has always worked marvelously. From Dresden and Hamburg, to Tokyo, to Ho Chi Minh City.

People always love whoever bombs them, and begin hating their government! Of course!

Just heard on BBC news that Iran has fired on US air bases in Qatar.....

Which have been empty for the better part of two weeks.

The Kabuki theater continues.

@mafketis

Maf I'm always curious how old you are.

Are you closer in age to me and Torq, or to Milo and Novi?

I was born 1989. Got to live for three years in the glorious USSR.

Happiest time in my life.

The only ones who know for sure the damage done are the Iranians on site.

Supposedly the Kremlin has been briefed too. This may mean that Medvedev's rant isn't just bluster, and that there truly was minimal damage.

Their foreign minister is traveling to Moscow for consultations in the Kremlin. I imagine the first thing the Russians will ask him is "How bad is the damage?"

In a few weeks, unless this whole thing goes completely tits up, the IAEA will have to tour the site. They should be pretty objective about what they see.

I think a few weeks or a couple months maximum before we know.

What the WSJ and NYTimes writes when they say "We may never know" - I don't understand. Of course we will find out soon - too many people involved.

Off-Topic / An average brain weight by ethnicity/nation [36]

Russians and their dense brains. lol!

I will explain further.

Most of the Russian brain has same density as average statistical brain. But we have a very thick and dense hypothalamus. In Russian - name of hypothalamus is "Chekhov's Gland".

Chekhov's Gland is thought to control a range of critical survival behaviors, such as:

1) The ability to drink undiluted methanol without going blind.

2) The ability to sense betrayal from a minimum distance of 450 meters.

3) And the innate instinct to crush a chessboard with your forehead after a draw.

sand being less dense and easier displaced than a blast door, it might channel the shock wave

Sorry this probably made no sense.

What I imagined, while sitting on the toilet, is that there must be some kind of massive blast door at the entrance. Then maybe a series of further doors.

If you open this door, and open a few others, then pile a bunch of dirt at the entrance - you could make an improvised "blowout panel".

The GBU-57 supposedly has a new smart fuse since a few years ago, which is "void sensing". So when it breaks through into the void of the tunnel, the blast door securing the centrifuge hall remains closed, while the others leading up to the outside are opened.

Since keeping the doors simply ajar, might mean inviting an Israeli commando raid - a sand wall is a good further precaution, while not enough to "bounce" the destructive shock wave back into the complex.

---/---

Regarding the ventilation shafts... As stupid as such an idea sounds, let's assume they really did exist in the specific configuration which is claimed.

Maybe there's a very practical reason why ventilation can't be routed through subsurface pipelines, and has to come from "the top". In that case, it seems to me like no facility can't be protected, since a shockwave traveling through a ventilation shaft will tear to pieces any fans and heat exchangers, and will then propagate freely through the entire interior.

Surely this is something that must have been addressed by designers? Perhaps it's possible to create some kind of "sump" for air, to preclude a single connected system?

Anyway - just very curious.
