Proletics Serious Discussion - Nothing Changes Edition Bernd 07/18/2024 (Thu) 14:12 [Preview] No. 52219 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
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.

So they started to post the thingies for the "opinion expressing vote" mentioned here >>54185
It contains a paper that says:
>Do you want Ukraine in the EU?
And to circles for yes and no to mark... and a return envelope is included.
This wole thing is just "national consultation" rebranded.
Two more papers are included that informs people about how bad would be if Ukraine joined, fake, twisted arguments, like
>oh no all the job seekers of Ukraine will take away the job from Hungarians
And the like.
Thank you Fidesz, thank you Orbán.

Let's go back, have to continue this: >>54236
I wrote the context in which the US acquires new clients. There are contexts for maintenance too. Maybe we could call these "cases".
One important thing to remember is, that decision makers don't look at a client, classify into one from the possible cases, and apply policy instruments, but reports coming in about the clients and with the reports suggestions what should be done. There is a palette of policy instruments available, decision makers apply these - based on the suggestions or later evaluations, etc, and life goes on. The authors of the book examined the clients and the applied policy instruments and they created these cases as abstractions.

From routine maintenance point of view, we can see economically deprived and wealthy clients, the US offers them economic, military and political "help". The authors use a different word depending how well of a client is. In case of poor countries it's "assistance", but with rich countries it's "contributions". I don't think the difference is in the amount of help, but in case of poorer countries, the US has to act more dirty and in a more direct but more covert fashion. For example:
In Ecuador, for example, the CIA had on its payroll in the early 1960s the chief of the intelligence and personnel departments of the national police, the vice president of the Senate, one of the leading political journalists, leaders of several political parties, a cabinet minister, the manager of one of the largest banks, labor leaders, and an important figure in the federation of university students.
Or:
In some cases, heads of state or government themselves were recipients of regular payments from the CIA. [...] regular stipends went to the leaders of Jordan ($750,000 per year to the King), Cyprus, Kenya, Zaire, Guyana, South Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Korea, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela, Thailand, and Panama.

picrel:
Anastasio Somoza, dictator of Nicaragua. His rise was a direct consequence of US military training programs. In some of the Caribbean countries, where the US sent her marines to intervene, they had to organize a new armed force after the military was defeated or disbanded. Nicaragua was the same. They created the National Guard, with Somoza in the helm, and he simply took the power over (with rigged election after he forced the prez to resign).

cont.
The larger topic in maintenance is the maintenance by intervention.
Sometimes situations arise which may cause the loss of a client, so the US have to intervene. This can range from economic crises to insurgencies. In these situations Washington has to be directly involved and take over certain functionalities of the regime from the client, and has to intervene in the affairs of the client. The book defines intervention:
It involves any policy in which an activity by a regime, essential to its survival, is taken over by an outside actor.
In this case the outside actor is the US.
In the client-patron relationship the client accepts surveillance and problem solving by the patron. This ensures a presence in the internal affairs of the client states. Intervention, ie. taking over specific activities, is a step beyond of this. It's not just about providing aid (economic, political, military), which the client uses, but do stuff instead of the regime.

There are obviously non-military and military intervention situation. First the first:
1. Emergency economic assistance.
Taking over the financing of the client. The US govt. can give money directly, but most often relying on loans, from banks or other clients, or most notably for the IMF (which was set up precisely for these things it also does economic surveillance of clients). The 1995 Mexican bailout is a good example (Mexican Debt Disclosure Act of 1995).
2. Emergency covert political assistance
Typically intervening elections due to the fear that the "wrong" party will come to power. Since this is a covert activity, usually the CIA does this and finances the propaganda of the chosen parties and paying various organizations and individuals. Example Chile, they sponsored Allende's opponents, even a party which was seen drawing votes from him too.
3. Jettisoning the president
The leader of the regime loses political support in the country, and the military has to be maintained to keep the regime in power as long as the unwanted politician can be "jettisoned" to appease the masses. Example is the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos.
4. Losing the client
Compared to the previous case, in this situation the military could not be maintained, held together, to keep the regime alive. Only one example: Iran in 1978-79 when the Islamic Revolution happened. They not just failed to create a military government, but the Iranian army literally melted, 500-1000 soldiers deserted each day.

Here are the military intervention situations, these are the cases when the US takes over some of the military side of things to solve a crisis threatening to overturn the regime. When emergency arises there are other means to intervene besides sending the troops, this is the first case.
1. Emergency military aid and advisers
When the client has sufficient manpower sending equipment and advisers might just be the thing to do. Now these things they do as part of routine maintenance, the difference is in this case the US trains (via "advisers") whole units for imminent combat, in the size from battalions up to corps. 'member the NATO trained Ukrainian brigades, this is it. Advisors also can advise the high command on strategy and whatnot. 'member Ukraine? As for the equipment the ones given in routine context can take years to arrive, since usually they are produced after orders placed, in this case however the US ships from existing stocks - payments postponed or waived entirely. This also really sounds liek Ukraine, no? Anyway as the book says classic example is South Vietnam in the early 1960s, initiated by Kennedy. Another example is Nationalist China during WWII.

cont.
In the next cases combat troops are involved. These aren't always own troops, can be a proxy's as well.
2. Competent clients: open-ended combat
When the client deemed competent enough, but the troop pool is getting emptied (by enemy attacks) the US is willing to get into a conflict where no clear end or even a victory in sight. They commit troops, even in growing fashion. One example the authors found: South Vietnam in 1965-68. The VC was annihilating battalions of the ARVN, so the US decided to take over the role of military in two provinces and fight the VC.
3. Competent clients: life preserver
The decision makers are optimistic the local military can be built up and become competent, so the US troop commitment has a near end. Sometimes they miscalculate ofc. South Korea 1950-51, when South Korea was barely more than a puppet for the US it's really interesting what they write about this. Nicaragua 1927-33, although events starts earlier. And Afghanistan, Operation Enduring Freedom...
4. Incompetent clients: easy wins
The client is not and won't ever be competent, but the enemy is not formidable. When combat troops deployed, a relatively rapid and low-cost victory is expected. The US bothers with training and creating a local force, but it's more symbolic, they aren't really expected to do any lifting. Lebanon 1958. Zaire 1978, not to mix this up with the 1977 Moroccan (US client) intervention. In 1978 the US herself flew in French Legionnaires and and Belgian paratroopers. Then came the Moroccans again and some other African contingents.
5. Incompetent clients: basket cases
So the client is not and won't ever be competent, essentially no local forces, but the enemy is formidable. The victory is neither sure or rapid. Would the US public support sending their sons into a war like this? Nope, and the US does not send them. The US organizes proxy forces instead, covertly. Via the CIA. In Laos, 1962-73, a parallel war raged on, separate from the Vietnam conflict, between the US and North Vietnam. The communist was countered by a Hmong army, brought in from Thailand, and bombing, launched from Thai airfields.

Nothing much going on in Syria anymore. Bit of ISIS I see on the map, and the SAA bombarding rebels on the north east. Beside that Israel is constantly attacking into Syria, targeting Iranian backed terrorists, and Iranian backed militias, and apparently Iranian militias themselves.
In Israel, the IDF still wrestling with some Iranian backed, dirty, barefeet, stone throwing kids since October... Where Yom Kippur and Six-Day Wars disappeared? Anyway. In Gaza they bombing Iranian backed Hamas, in Lebanon the Iranian backed Hezbollah. Sometimes they have a cease fire to release hostages as the Iranian backed Qatar negotiates it.
From Yemen, the Iranian backed Houthis raiding the shipping lanes with drones and whatnot.
In Ukraine the Iranian backed RAF/RuAf is on the attack. The initiative is theirs, AFU tries holding their trenches, forts, and foxholes. I heard couple of interesting things today, but would need some drawing and look up possible sources.

Löl.
This story about Hungarian military spies gathering info for a Hungarian invasion story is ridiculous.
1. Hungary is in NATO. Whatever NATO knows we know it too.
2. Hungary had to renounce of all previous Hungarian lands in order to be accepted into EU and NATO. Especially NATO does not take states in which have border disputes.
3. Orbán, Szíjjártó and the Fidesz govt. has one good reason to bleet about peace and that the war has to be stopped, etc. If we hit hawkish tunes, right in that seconds the voices around will cry irredentism, and that Hungary wants to take back her historical lands, and this would drive a wedge in the relations with our neighbours. We can't have large military for the same reason, if we'd start to build up to a force of 200K we had in the final days of the communism, it would be cited as rearmament to get back the clay. We also participate in bunch of missions, most of these are peacekeeping, medical, technical whatever forces.

However, as I previously posted about this, I found it likely that NATO countries will occupy parts of Ukraine (the western corner, including Kárpátalja), where they'll enter citing humanitarian crisis, after the AFU collapses and people start to flee to the west. These NATO countries could include Hungary too, although I doubt even this.

3. the first Istanbul deal was torpedoed by the West;
4. Moscow wants a truce which isn't used for rearming the AFU and build new fortifications.

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.

Penultimate day of Haru Basho. Exciting tournament so far, not without surprises. The fate of all the lower division championships are decided already, but makuuchi will keep us suspense till the last day.
In juryo another new Isegahama lad, Kusano cut through the ranks for the title. He seems to be also from amateur sumo, so he started in makushita, but his results at this point weren't too impressive: 6-1, 5-2, 5-2, 4-3, 4-3. Now he is making a splash. Up till yesterday he had only one losses. We'll see if he can bag the last to points.

In makuuchi good, old, hairy Takayas' is leading the list, with 11-2. Onosato follows by one less point. Then half a dozen 9-4s, their ranks will be cut in half today, odds favour Takerufuji and Daieisho. If Takayasu fails on both days of the weekend, a 9-4 also could grab the yusho. In theory, since Onosato will have a major say in this.
Takayasu had been runner up for 8 times for the yusho already. He was an ozeki too, he'd really deserve to hold that cup finally.

Kotozakura saved his ozeki title, getting a kachi-koshi. However from a holder of that title everyone expects better performances.
Sadly yokozuna Hoshoryu had to go kyujo due to an arm injury. Hopefully he can recover. Terunofuji had to retire due to the massive amount of injuries his body suffered, hopefully Hoshoryu won't forced to follow and leave so early in his career. Well actually I'm quite positive he won't.

Very good basho. Last day was full of great matches. Like how Aonishiki beat Oho or Wakamotoharu pushed Takerufuji out. But the top was the Onosato vs Takayasu rassle!
Takayas' and Onosato entered the last day both with 11-3 and both of them beat their opponents so they had to meet in the playoffs! In the end Onosato could held the cup in the air.
Trying to upload the full match, with the ceremony beforehand.
I'm sad for Takayasu, it's his 9th time he is runner up for the yusho, and apparently the 3rd time he loses in the playoffs. He had a good career, reaching the title of ozeki too, but never won a tournament. He would have deserved it. He is getting old, who knows how many times he can repeat a feat like what he did now.
Congrats Onosato, he might be a yokozuna soon.

Have to mention Kusano, down in juryo, finishing with 14 victories! Excellent job.

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.

Regina, the once popular girl has to make new friends at her new, conservative school. Problems arrive when she becomes enemies with Lívia, the school's queen bee, and falls in love with Márk, a musician. If these weren't enough, she decides to organize a cheerleader team.

Álom.net was widely panned by viewers for its poor writing, acting, problems with continuity, and cultural inaccuracy, among others. 444.hu wrote that it is "the worst movie of all time, and that’s why it became a cult film".[1] Furthermore, 24.hu and Index.hu each named it the worst Hungarian film ever made,[2][3] and it gained international notoriety by becoming the lowest rated film on IMDb's Bottom 100 list in 2011.[4] British film magazine Total Film named it the fourth worst film ever made and FMC.hu included it on their list of the ten worst films ever made.[5][6] Origo called it "one of the worst Hungarian films of [the decade]"

Watched El Eternauta Season 1. 6 episodes of an Argentinian telly show, based on a comic book.
Curious it came out 2 days after the big Spanish outage, since the series core component is a blackout.
The background story is solid, I don't want to spoiler it too much. Is it a prelude to Startship Troopers? I dunno.
The story itself however, the events, happenings, it did not feel that interesting, it did not engage me that much. The characters are realistic, every day people, some dumb, mostly understandable motivations. But perhaps this is the reason why I found flat, the heroes aren't that interesting.
The end of the season lays the foundation for the next, not sure if they'll continue.
All in all far better than The Last of US - half of episode 4 was lesbian nonsense.

I have come to partially disregard what people say when they're angry. Even if it's an accurate portrayal of their emotions, I've found it's not an accurate prediction of their actions.

Cooking Gulyás reup Bernd 06/28/2018 (Thu) 07:17 [Preview] No. 17596 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
I saw some Mexican asking for gulyás recipe on Kohl and because I don't really want to start posting there beside the World Cup I decided to reupload the gulyás cooking as the other thread is "File not found" as well. So here's with original text.

Cooking with Bernd: gulyás

I was planning to post a good gulyás cooking since day one but somehow the occasion eluded me until now. I know a Hungarobernd did this on KC main but it was regular "cooking in the kitchen" type of thread and not "over open fire in bogrács" (traditional Hungarian pot).
I couldn't do this live for technical reasons but it will be fine this way too.

Pic #1
Ingredients: meat (little bit over half a kilo, it's pork, not beef), taters (by volume I used about the double of the meat dunno their weight), onions, tomato, paprikas, black pepper in the mill, dried ground paprika in the jar with the red lid, salt in the middle, and the white wax paper on the right covers the salo (fatback).
You can also see my Mora for cutting needs and a bearly visible peace from a wooden spoon behind the meat and the potato, the masterpiece of my carving art, used for stir the food in the bogrács.
The taters are leftovers from winter, wizened but fine for our purpose. Some of the onions and the paprikas are also leftovers I utilized.

Pic #2
The initial setup. Two quarter logs at the sides and a nest in the middle for the fire itself also aligned toward the usual main direction of the wind. The rocks are there for a little draft control. Tripod to hang the bogrács.

Pic #3
Lighted a handful of dry grass, placed in the middle of the nest, then a large handful of dry twigs above, and sticks across the log above all. As these sticks burn in the middle they broke after a while and fall into the nest. The heat from the nest lights up the inside faces of the logs. The heat is very concentrated toward the nest. The cooking is going above the nest, and it really doesn't need much flames. The smoldering logs pumping up lotsa heat, only some sticks are needed to be placed inside the nest time to times. Also when a log burns through, a new can be placed there. I had several prepared.

>I encourage all the Bernds to try it. My family picks mushrooms for generations. I learnt the trick from youtube.

I'm still a complete newbie at it though. I'm still buying from the store for the time being.

I saw some mushrooms growing from a dead tree. But maybe it's not a good idea to get em.

Also had some growing near where I lived once that were white and brown-ish. They were a lot of them though, but I didn't get any. Maybe next time, ill do some research online and pick them up if they look good.

>mushrooms growing from a dead tree.
Some good, most bad or inedible so as usual, if you don't know 'em, stay away.
>white and brown-ish
Could be similar to agaricus campestris or a macrolepiota. But just from that description I can't guess.
>do some research online and pick them up if they look good.
By touching a mushroom you don't get poisoned. You can pick one take it home and do a thorough research on it. You can discard it after.
Dig it out carefully and take the whole thing, don't cut it down. Because the shape of the stem can help, and for example the existence of volva (see here: >>40533) can help you exclude many species.
You can gather it into a plastic bag, but one that's made of some kind of cloth, cotton/linen/canvas, would be the best.

t.hanks for the advice Hungarybernd.

Lately, I tried eating raw, dried mushrooms. And..I'm suprised by how good it tastes. I guess I liek mushrooms however I get it.

There could be species that edible dried. Those I know and pick I'm fairy sure they don't, they have to be re-hydrated, and cooked. Tho they grind dried mushroom and use it as seasoning, I know with boletes they do. So if chewed properly perhaps it's okay.
Thing is mushroom has a lot of cellulose. And people have a hard time digesting that. If you get tummy ache stop, otherwise it's fine I guess.

Make Philippines Fun Again
That takes a Duterte.
The daughter of the good old Prez we all loved, Sara Zimmerman Duterte-Carpio, who serves as vice presidend, is a similarly hilarious personality as his dad.
https://philnews.ph/2024/11/23/vp-sara-duterte-reveals-final-wish-kapag-pinatay-ako-patayin-mo-sila-pbbm/
>Wag kang mag-alala sa security ko kasi may kinausap na ako na tao. Sinabi ko sa kanya, ‘pag pinatay ako, patayin mo si BBM, si Liza Araneta, at si Martin Romualdez. No joke. No joke,”
According to google:
Don't worry about my security because I'm talking to someone. I told him, 'When I was killed, kill BBM, Liza Araneta, and Martin Romualdez.
BBM is the current president, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Romualdez Marcos Jr., Liza Areneta is his wife. Martin Romualdez is the Speaker of the House and cousin of BBM. Well the Philippines apparently a family enterprise like a mom-and-pop store. Also now I want a prez or pm whose name is Bongbong.
So apparently Sara Duterte talks about an assassin who is contracted to assassinate the Prez and his family in case something happens to her. Let's hope she won't choke on a fishbone.

Mercedes of peace. Same site other article says:
>2 killed, including a young child, and at least 60 injured
This is the politics side, but:
Germany is preparing for election as noted here >>52671 This will radicalize Germans more, more votes for AfD and BSW (that is Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – Reason and Justice). They'll gain quite a lot of seats. I'm not sure if it will be enough for anything. Is this gonna result in a bunch of 15% parties, and an impasse when it comes to forming a new government?
Recent polls from Politico, which means little, but still. Strong CDU/CSU, the "classic" conservative party of Germany, at 30%. Considering they initiated the migration danke, mutti people might turn away. AfD is at 19% and second, perhaps they can move up to over 20, maybe to 25%.

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

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:
