Double oh syndrome
So NATO mouthpieces are predicting a Russian invasion of Europe in '27 and a Chinese takeover of Taiwan at the same time in a coordinated effort to conquer the whole world.
Ha! The dumbasses don't realize that everyone is on to their projection tic. Most of the world knows that means NATO/America is going to provoke and probably attack both Russia and China before then. Because freedom!
They are not just projecting, they are telegraphing their plans.
One of the head geniuses is blabbering about taking Kaliningrad......by surprise.
Complete dumbass. He is claiming they can take it so fast that the Russians would be helpless against their new weapons and tactics. Barf.
So I think I know where this is coming from.
I've been binging on James Bond movies the last few days, one a night. The wonder weapons at 007s disposal still stretch credibility to the breaking point. But they still cast British ingenuity as the best there is.
I don't know, some of it looks a little Batman-ish, especially the later movies.
But if certainly fit the British, and indeed, the entire western world mentality that they have a weapon to fit every threat and a 007 to complete the mission. Hell they have an army of 007s. As long as they never give up and remain persistent, they will win in the end. And get the girl.
And I do mean girl.
It's really like a psychosis, a mass derangement. They actually believe their weapons systems are superior to any on the market.
Meanwhile, the super duper F35 stranded at an Indian airstrip for two weeks, for lack of anyone qualified to fix it is finally up up and away.
Great sales pitch to sell the Indians a bunch of them. Dumbasses.
So I've got maybe 10 Bond movies left to watch, but I'm already getting burned out. And I'm starting to cringe at the sound of a British accent.
I'm switching to Don Addams "Get Smart".
Still harvesting Zucchi, peppers, carrots, onions, potatoes, tomatillos, and tomatoes. Corn (h/t- on the cusp) is 8' tall and will be ready soon.
Thread is open.

Have been hearing some pundits
.
refer to Starmer as 008 lately.
Definitely not the bond type
character, so haven't a clue
what that is in reference to.
Thanks for the OT earthling!

Whatever the case, he is an obstacle to peaceful existence.
Thanks for the post.

The Ourobouros...
Wikipedia says: The ouroboros is often interpreted as a symbol for eternal cyclic renewal or a cycle of life, death and rebirth; the snake's skin-sloughing symbolises the transmigration of souls. The snake biting its own tail is a fertility symbol in some religions: the tail is a phallic symbol and the mouth is a yonic or womb-like symbol.[9]
That may be so- but speaking strictly for myself, I always thought it represented taxes, not rebirth. (;-)
Harvested our fifth tomato yesterday. Yay. The bush Early Girls are determinate plants, and they certainly appear to be determined to only ripen after the first frost. I have to grow my own seedlings and plant earlier next year. We'll have 75 or so from our little container garden, someday, Gawd willing and the creek don't rise...
Or we could cook up a mess of fried green tomatoes, worst case. All will be revealed in due course.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
That's it!
It was on the tip of my tongue but I had no mirror. Ha Ha
And I am going to experiment with some green tomatoes and tomatillos to make some green salsa. Of course, a few jalapenos will be mixed in there with the requisite amount of cilantro and onions.
I had a "volunteer" Roma come up this year and it is bigger than all the ones I planted.
Good luck to you.

Wait.
Was that an oxymoron?

Good afternoon, e1!
I hope you get a chance to grill some corn, slather butter on it, and remember that sweet corn is a veggie, not a dessert.
Time changes the way we look at movies, doesn't it? Some science fiction films became pretty close to future realities, some fictional heroes resemble ass holes we now live with daily.
Gotta go to the dentist, remind him that numbing red heads is different...
Thanks for the OT, my friend!

Just picked the first sweet corn

of the season at one of the local farmers markets
I chop-off the tassels and stem, roll them in foil
husks and all , then throw them on the bbq to roast,
turning a few times, for about 3/4 an hour or so.
yumm! A summer delight for sure.

Oh yeah
E2 is a redhead and she has to take a pill to go to the dentist, and she frets for days beforehand.
Good luck, I

fiction is a good idea at this point
since the collective West appears to have bought into it. Daniel Davis and Patrick Hennigsen:
Yeah, I know, it's 55 minutes -- you can get the basic idea from watching much less.
I suppose if you want to read original texts you can watch some of these interviews with Brian Berletic, with Danny Haiphong doing the interviewing for instance. I would post one, but they're all the same. Berletic says "read the policy papers." So, yes, I suppose we do a bit of research, find the policy papers, and read them. The Atlantic, I suppose, is a good place to start.
At any rate, the James Bond novels, or at least the ones written by Ian Fleming, have a lot more grim stuff than the movies. You Only Live Twice (1967), for instance, is a circus, courtesy of scriptwriter Roald Dahl, author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and of Matilda. I thought the river full of hungry piranha fish was fun in a Roald Dahl kind of way. Sean Connery announced he was quitting Bond after that movie, and had to be enticed back to Diamonds Are Forever (1971) by the promise of boatloads of cash. The You Only Live Twice novel is a lot more grim than what you see on the screen. There is also one, if I recall correctly, where Bond is introduced as having come back from having been brainwashed by the North Koreans.
PS I find it hard to watch any of the Roger Moore movies. For parody there's always Austin Powers...

Austin Powers was good
But Maxwell Smart was a classic kind of comedy all it's own.

See if there is anything of interest.
We have a special on Oldies but Moldies Bond films discussion. Some Bond knockoffs.
And the usual banter with military foolishness.
But thanks for coming in.

Just ran the Chinese character for tiger through Uncle Hanzi's Etymology machine and got some amazing past versions of the script from the Oracle bone and Bronze periods.
