I just realised something... something spooky as fuck.

You know how sumo is derived from some ancient rituals? How it was performed in shrines, to appease the kami, to ensure prosperity? It was only later professionalised, and is now performed on a national level by salaried wrestlers, but there are still many religious elements, from how the ring is consecrated by a priest before each tournament, yokozuna entering the ring with that big white rope around his belt, to wrestlers actually throwing salt into the ring before each bout as a means of consecration. It is a deeply religious ritual, somehow performed to appease the kami for the entire nation of Japan. Kinda like how the ancient Olympic Games were performed on temple grounds, and were a form of vitalist worship of Greek gods.

You know when's the last time sumo wasn't performed as scheduled? March 2011. The March of the earthquake and tsunami that rekt Japan. But guess what? The tournament was cancelled a month before. Because of some match-fixing scandal. Yep, that's right. And the earthquake happened 2 days before the tournament was scheduled.

The earthquake happened because the sumo ritual wasn't performed. Because the kami weren't appeased. They were pissed and caused the earthquake as a warning.

Now this is quite interesting.
Yesterday Onosato faced Aonishiki, both had 10-2 points, so a deciding bout. Onosato won, but how he won resulted in debates if the decision of the gyoji and the elders were right to give him the point or not.
The comments of tachi-ai explain a lot about the circumstances and the rules:
https://tachiai.org/2025/11/21/kyushu-2025-day-thirteen/#comments
Previously Slovborg explained that they have rules in case both rikishis are in a position they can't recover from, so both losing, the comments call their state "dead". I assume it follows traditional Japanese naming convention, I dunno. So when they are both dead the one in the dohyo usually gets to be the winner. On the other hand there are rules or customs about actively fighting in mid-air, commenters citing Ura's case when he pulls wins like that.
In theory they both were "dead" in the moment Onosato hit the clay. But it could be argued that Aonishiki was still fighting and he was the one pushing Onosato down.

I expected to get some insight from Mainichi, since they publish an article summarizing the bouts each day:
https://mainichi.jp/english/sports/sumo/
Except there was none yesterday.
Instead today I found this:
https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20251122/p2g/00m/0na/026000c
This describes how the new female Japanese PM could defile the male only dohyo. It talks about tradition and female impurity and whatnot. Essentially the core of the problem in this case that the PM is usually giving a Cup to a rikishi. And now the PM is a woman. Now it turns out this won't happen this basho, she's somewhere abroad doing politics. But in January.
So if it is a problem in January... why publish this article now? Where is yesterdays summary?
It's a mystery.

Wew, sumo again on the 11th!
Hopefully we're going to get source - then we start in the usual time of 18:30 CET!

What can be expected?
The rivalry between Onosato and Hoshoryu surely will be upset by Aonishiki, who is aiming for the yokozuna title. Expecting a three way competition with no real danger from anyone else.
Im hoping OHO will have a great run, and I'm curious what Yoshinofuji can put onto the table.
Takayas' is sekiwake, but no real hope for tournament victory, the young lions are just too tough.

Will Shishi be able to save his chops?
Asanoyama and Hatsuyama is up in makuuchi, ought to be interesting. And Asahakruyu will have his debut.

In juryo:
Fujiryoga was great last tournament, now he starts at #3.
Takerufuji is at #5, has he recovered? Hope so.

Yesterday we beat Armenia by 1. After the match they said it was a difficult go, Armenia played well.
Meanhile Portugoose let Ireland to beat her so now we have only one on Ireland. Good thing we play at home next, so we have more of a chance. And X would suit fine, but ofc a win would be better.
A win would be even better for if Poortugal fails against Armenia (fat chance, but as Orbán said, miracles happen) we might end up as group leaders, and advance to the WC.

Last Sunday we got beaten by Ireland, and with their victory over the group leader Portugal they advanced to the second round play-offs and have a chance to get out to the World Cup 2026.
Meanwhile Portugal scored a niner against Armenia.
To be honest in the 2020s we played against Ireland twice, an X and a loss against them, so expectations weren't too high, I expected for a solid X again, and hoped for the win... but against Portugal how could they win and those fugging moors failed to score.
Oh well. It sucks but what can we do.

Currently playing 2 games.

Fear and Hunger is a little more immersive than DI2 so I'll probably take more time to review this one.

For Dead island 2, it good. Graphics look phenomenal. Interiors inside houses look well fleshed out and realistic. Like people actually live inside of them.

Combat is decent. More melee focused than L4D 1 - 2. Zombies get realistic damage all over their bodies. Their limbs and bones get affected like a real person when you hit them

Story's ok-ish to meh. Don't like most of the characters. But I think this game is more focused on playing CO-OP than focusing on single player narrative. Most sidequests in the game are just fetch quests or "survive this wave of zombies for X minutes"

Syrian War Thread - Under The Thumb Edition Bernd

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.

Kneeway.
First thing first.
I think while there is a strong anti-establishment feeling in most of the population, the events are helped from the outside, by USA and Israel. I also think Israel has a strong presence - the system in Iran is corrupt (Israel has a lot to do with this too), and last years bombing campaign was also preceded by working on the human foundation. As noted before >>55007 the USA has plans on creating an upheaval in Iran for a long time.
The US and Israel are rocking the boat, because they know that last years glorious bombing did only postpone the development of nuclear capabilities I won't write bomb because we don't know if they wanted to make a bomb. They got some time, but they have to do something about it. The quoted book also stresses this matter.
I do believe Iran would go through a change that dissolve the Islamic Revolution and it's grip on the country if left alone. Younger generations who will inherit the country, they aren't so enthusiastic about it. But this would be a long process.
I also think that Iranian population has little fondness towards the US and Israel, and that the following regimes would push for nuclear capabilities too bomb? we don't know.
Neighbours also aren't fond of Iran, and they are wary if Iran seeks nuclear weaponry. But I'm not sure they'd want a failed state Iran.
And then the question of China and oil left. Could China exploit the situation more or less? They are the main buyer of Iranian oil, and the Iranian govt is depending more and more on them.
Also worth weigh: each adventure for the US costs money.

Glantz and the Soviet art of war again.
He goes in chronological order to review what the Soviet thought and wrote about the war. During the Cold War they obviously gave a lot of thought about nuclear war.
First they maintained their views on warfare how they experienced it in their Great Patriotic War (great ground force maneuvers). Then from the '60s effected by nuclear weapons they dropped all this and claimed that the next war will be nuclear and these weapons will decide everything. But as they observed the events around and how the world lived in the shadow of MAD, they believed there is a decisive place for conventional weapons still, and in the '80s they formulated the thought of war in a "nuclear-scared" environment where everyone abstain from the use of nukes out of fear. Still they cautiously stated if such war is fought and NATO gets beaten they might resort to their use.
They realized couple of things.
The key to victory is offensive just as ever.
To achieve success they need to achieve surprise first. Utmost surprise.
They preferred armoured units for their protection against radiation.
The units have to be dispersed, no concentrated attacks for just one nuke and the whole group can be taken out.
No echelon buildup. The use of second echelon/reserves is circumstantial. First echelon has to be beefed to deliver a good punch.
Lightning fast attacks along the whole front, but no springboards right on the front but from further back.
Deep penetration of enemy lines fast, often hundreds of kilometers. Have to disable nuclear capabilities.
Air assaults (conventional and nuclear if need be), combined with airmobile unit drops.
The gaps between the dispersed attacking ground units can be held by fire (conventional and nuclear if need be).

It does remind me of the initial phase of the war on Ukraine.

Check this quote
These concepts were developed in the 1970s and early 1980s when tactical nuclear weapons posed the greatest potential threat on the battlefield. In the mid-1980s the Soviets have recognized the growing threat of high precision weaponry and other high technological weapons systems. Their initial response has been to accentuate those trends of the 1970s by stressing heavier single echelons, more rapid tactical and operational maneuver, and greater tactical flexibility by small units. One author has noted that, although basic offensive principles still apply, greater premium would have to be placed on the importance of surprise actions, maneuver of subunits and fires, sharp and continuous cooperation, skill in concealing from the enemy one's intentions, and firm continuous command and control.50 Another has added "the revived capabilities of the battalion, and the increased significance of independent operations of subunits, naturally places great demands on the commander."51 These and similar assertions indicate an increased Soviet concern for tailoring more carefully at the battalion and regimental level and a concomitant concern for more initiative and flexibility on the part of their commanders at these levels.

Bernd

Now this one. This is interesting for a hypothetical war against NATO.
Based upon these conclusions, in the event of war the Soviets would seek to achieve surprise by using deception to a maximum extent while politically trying to undermine the unity and resolve of the coalition itself. They would attempt to preempt or disrupt strategic (theater) defenses and preempt the use or limit the effectiveness of enemy nuclear weapons and precision-guided munitions (PGMs) by launching a massive ground offensive, by emphasizing early neutralization of enemy nuclear delivery means, and by attacking, using operational and tactical techniques designed to disrupt enemy command and control and produce paralysis and confusion in enemy ranks. A clear Soviet focus would be to force the capitulation of one or more of the weaker members of the enemy coalition. To accomplish these ambitious aims the Soviets must keep forward-area forces in a high state of readiness, furnished with first-rate equipment. Combat forces must be backed up by a logistical capability sufficient to sustain operations for the duration of the initial strategic and - because the potential for protracted operations is recognized — until the defense industrial sector is fully mobilized and producing key materiel and equipment (i.e., 60-90 days). The Soviets must achieve parity or superiority in the strategic and tactical nuclear realm, and because of the necessity to effect speed and surprise, they must abandon large-scale advanced mobilization and reinforcement of forward area forces prior to war. Forward area forces must be capable of attacking on short notice with only limited redeployment and regrouping. Maximum use of cover and deception is essential, and forces must be structured for and capable of conducting high speed deep operations. The Soviets feel they have achieved the bulk of these prerequisites.

There are some details.
>force the capitulation of one or more of the weaker members of the enemy coalition.
Sounds like the Baltics today.
>until the defense industrial sector is fully mobilized and producing key materiel and equipment
I think Russia's industry now already at this level - at least suitable for the war ongoing. But further on?
And this is the thing. After hearing Western officials that Russia will attack NATO and can march into Paris... does current year Russia sounds like that would be capable to do what Soviet theoreticians drew up?
Especially current year's technological environment? There is a reason why they are slogging and using micro-unit tactics, attack columns just aren't suitable.

Lots of good details in this book >>54959. Worth a read. Supplements Baud's book as well.

Farmers are protesting in Brussels.
https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2025/12/18/farmers-protest-against-free-trade-agreement-tractor-convoys-on/

The EU is making a free trade deal with the "Mercosul" group: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Uruguay. Which means their agricultural products can flow into the EU freely.
Here's the problem:
EU enacting regulations on EU agriculture. They tell how people can produce, what tools and materials they can use, what bureaucratic hoops they have to jump through, what quality they have to conform to, why "green" targets they have to achieve. This makes prices go higher as they make farming expensive. Then they are cutting subsidies. Then here's the war and fertilizer prices in the sky. Energy prices in the sky.
And now they have to compete with farmers and companies who can produce however they see fit, who don't face the same bureaucratic bs green regulations, and they can use whatever chemicals, hormones, and even GMO.
This is he same thing Jeremy Clarkson talks about in his farmin telly show and recent books.
EU is basically destroying the agriculture. This is insane.

I think it's better here since EU politics in general, despite it's related to Russia's war.
About the frozen assets.
So there are private wealth stashed on the Belgium by private Russian entities (companies and individuals) in various banks. EU froze these "Russian assets" at the start of the war. At every 6 months they need a unanimous vote to extend the freeze.
However this time Orbán was very loud about saying no. Why? Because for a while the EU council pushes for confiscating/stealing the money (about €210 billion) and use it to finance Ukraine buy weapons from the US.
So last week they decided a simple majority vote is enough to freeze the money forever. Ofc "defrosting" it needs unanimous vote.
There is one problem: Belgium. The EU council can't take the money, only Belgium can. However there will be repercussions. So Belgium asks support for the EU states, to share the burden, and pay if necessary. Everyone drags their feet ofc.
Confiscating the money need unanimous vote, but Belgium (and others) will say no.
So now EU council (ie Kaja Kallas) wants to take the dough by majority voting, fucking Belgium over.
Belgium was one of the 25 countries who agreed on freezing the assets indefinitely.
Oh the ironing.

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.

They really fucked the goose with this new witcher season. I don't think anybody likes it.

>I liked the novels and short stories - which I should re-read, it's a mess now if I try to recall details. Perhaps I haven't even read some in order.
It's really different from the novels. Lots of "changes" were done to all the characters.

>How fucking Netflix and all the woke execs, writers, directors, producers can fuck up great stories with their heavy handedness and ideological blindess!

Some people just like to fug everyone's shit up bernd.

>t. seen it myself

Watched Underworld for the first time. I was avoiding it on purpose for I thought it's a cheap copypaste from Vampire the Masquerade.
I was right. Tho I enjoyed the movie, I just imagined it's a fanfiction. Music is all right, Beckinsale looked good. Visuals in general are good, story is okay. Film has lotsa ties to Hungary. Scenes were shot here, mile long crew list. The male protag is also Hungarian apparently.
Fights were kinda clumsy, but I think for that time, it's okay.

IIRC there's like 4 more movies in that franchise. Maybe the later films have better fights and everything else.

I forgot about that show. Watched 2 episodes back then and that was it.
Finally finished it. It's all right. Better paced than Pluribus at least...

After a year of hiatus Fallout season 2 restarted in last December.
Back then they were capable of running telly shows in consequent years with 20+ episodes each season. Now they just forgot the technology how to achieve this.
Kneeway...
Rewatching the 1st season to refresh my memories. Not good memories.

Right at the bat. How does she know about raiders? If they never left the vault they cannot know about the raiders. For all they know there is nothing up there on the surface.

Some photos, but how do you photo the lack of electricity in the wires?

https://www.thelocal.es/20250428/breaking-nationwide-blackout-hits-spain
Shit happened monday at 12:30 local time. Took about 10 hours to restore the juice in every region.
Apparently part of France was also affected.

>The shutdown of the country's nuclear plants was "in line with their design" when confronted with an unexpected power outage, the Spanish Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) said in a statement.
Not sure what is the reasoning behind that. How the lack of electricity can damage NPPs? Does the system make them suddenly produce more electricity if the load is not balanced? It would be cool if there was an explanation.

I'm checking El Pais, but I've see no articles there either that would explain the cause.
I think this is the latest:

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.

Actually I think she spells her name as Brigitte. I might look up this detail too.
