"The attack took out 300 Iskander missiles and the blast was so enormous it was detected on seismograph meters."

MacGregor: "This is a war being conducted by MI6 and the CIA. The Ukrainians aren’t doing much except dying in great numbers."

depot fairly deep into Russia. Nobody knows or is telling exactly how, with what weaponry, and, most importantly, launched from where. There is a lot of speculation that it was a drone or missile attack from Latvia, where Natostan forces are currently engaged in some large Drill. omebody is escalating and it appears that one source may have asserted that the depot is where the mythical Iranian missiles that blinkenstein was talking up were allegedly stashed, so Nato involvement is that much more likely if that too isn't simply further speculation.

be well and have a good one

There are 19 characters under the bamboo radical in Hart's Hanja 3rd Ed. (six strokes) My unabridged Han moon dictionary has 332 characters under the bamboo radical.

Watching the homesteader youtube videos from Vietnam mostly, is there any implement they might need that can't be made from bamboo? The poorer the homesteader and more remote the location, the more likely virtually everything they need (except their video camera and machete) is made from bamboo, shelter, roofing, furniture, fences, bridges, irrigation, baby carriers, animal cages, back packs, baskets, food, musical instruments, hats, raincoats, shovels...As commerce/wealth increases, the more likely shingles, corrugated roofing, lumber, plywood, aluminum, ceramics, steel, tools, even power tools, etc are purchased for similar uses. Lately, most of the people we see there were wiped out by heavy rains and flooding this season from nearby streams and are looking for their animals, salvaging movable items, and rebuilding.

Then in Korea, there is the song hated by conservatives, 죽창가 Bamboo Spear Song. Inspired by the Tonghak rebellion near the end of the 19th Century, the bamboo spear is symbolic of a virtually unarmed peasant rebellion. The song was said to have been written as a poem during the Chun Doo-wan dictatorship, to inspire the democratic movement to overthrow the dictatorship. Conservatives hate it.

This mountain village, soar together!
Let's become a flower. The flower
nurtured by falling tears and broken feet
let's become noktu* flowers

This mountain valley all together take flight!
Lets become a bird. A bird
To north and south it cries,
Let's become the flying blue bird

This field alight together
Let's become a fire. A fire
burning plains lighting the darkness
Let's become the field afire

Let's do that, it's time for that
One more time, this village
Let's become a rebellion
Green pine green bamboo fixed in our heart
Let's become the bamboo spear

( 죽창가 / 김남주 시, 김경주 곡 )

*nokdu is mung bean. The peasant leader of the Tonghuk rebellion was called General Nokdu. He was captured by Japanese troops and executed.

I saw everyone here talking about the full moon lately. So I took a look last night, fortunately there was a clear sky amidst the overcast, and I could see the 秋夕 Chuseok moon clearly. It's still fall (mid autumn) festival time in Korea, South Korea anyway.

(edit: wouldn't load the bamboo hanzi I loaded earlier).

I've been trying to load a comment for over an hour.
