Doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo tested sarin gas at Banjawarn station before Tokyo subway attack
A Japanese terrorist group, a deadly nerve agent and a possible nuclear blast — it's hard to imagine anything more remote from the West Australian desert. The link is Banjawarn.

TIL about 'The Campaign for North Africa' - a board game published in 1978 that is estimated to take 62 days to play. The game includes 1,600 counters and the level of detail is such that Italian troops require additional water supplies in order to boil pasta.

The 16th of December marks the anniversary of the Battle of Blood River, where a small group of Boers, numbering less than 500, successfully defended themselves against a larger force of Zulus estimated to be between 15,000 and 30,000 in size. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Boers emerged victorious with only three injuries, while the Zulus suffered thousands of deaths.
Before the battle, the Boers made a vow to God, promising to build a church and observe the day of their victory as an annual Sabbath if God protected them and delivered the enemy into their hands. Since then, the Boers have celebrated the 16th of December as the Day of the Vow (Geloftedag) to honor this promise.
The Battle of Blood River and the preceding Vow are significant to the Boer people as they symbolize the origin myth of the Boer volk, who overcame great adversity and conquered harsh terrain through faith in God.

Yesterday, we had the report of Kremlin officials jetting into Washington. What are they discussing? And will the neocons have the wisdom to acknowledge their Ukraine adventure is lost and negotiate a surrender? Or will they double down and force the Russians to slaughter more Ukrainians as the Russians steamroller their way across the territory of their defeated opponent?

It’s pretty clear that Russia is geared up for a major offensive, which could be launched at any time. The Ukrainian military has been significantly degraded, and its morale is shot. Whenever the Russian offensive is launched, it will be successful. Which…

They forced Catholic pharmacists to sell abortifacient drugs or close their businesses. Now they are going to force Evangelical Christians to keep their businesses open and work on Sundays. Can forcing every Christian to take a public oath against Christ in order to hold office (or vote) be far behind? Why wouldn't it? The NY state government has proven it can harass Christians out of the economic life of the state so why not the political life? Wouldn't that assure that their dictates never get reversed?

Russia 🇷🇺 and China 🇨🇳were never barred access of the Red Sea by the Houthis, who cited that these governments were not involved in Israel’s 🇮🇱 genocidal campaign of Palestinians in Gaza.
Now France, Spain and Italy have withdrawn from the US-led naval alliance meant to “protect” freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.
The US had already admitted to lacking the number of warships to adequately combat the Houthis’ capabilities.
Modern-day Rome is burning 🔥.

🇵🇸 🇮🇱 Hamas's Cheap, Makeshift Drones Are Outsmarting Israel's High-Tech Military
⬛️ The use of commercial UAVs rigged with bombs has exposed gaps in Israeli defenses
🔶️ Militaries have been using drones in conflicts for more than two decades. Israel itself boasts one of the largest armies of unmanned aerial vehicles in the Middle East. Today, a new generation of cheap, commercially available systems — like the ones Hamas used in the Oct. 7 attack — is emerging, challenging some of the world’s most technologically advanced forces.
🔶️ The effectiveness of the Hamas drone program also exacerbates growing concerns that non-state actors could develop deadly weapons with dual-use tech whose sales can’t be tracked. Even as militaries spend record amounts on sophisticated technology, simple equipment can allow marginal players to coordinate devastating attacks.
🔶️ Many soldiers in Gaza have been resorting to shooting the slow-moving drones out of the sky. The Israeli army said in a November blog post it has assigned a handheld SmartShooter precision targeting system to a soldier in every infantry unit for the first time.
