ethnic basis as an Iberian Visigoth
Posted by: karlof1 | Mar 18 2025 16:47 utc | 302
or maybe just plain iberian celt (already pre mixed with some greek and phoenician) , some roman and more than a dash of berber and finnaly an overtone of vandal and visigoth, unless you hail from a noble family with established genealogy 😀
The iberian peninsula is not the most clear cut place for lineages (unless its a a full basque )

“Karl” means “free man”
My nick is “Simon”, “Simon ton kananaion” in Greek, a first-century Mediterranean figure misinterpreted by ignorant Vatican experts and fanciful rabbis. He was most likely a freed slave who worked as a street vendor from village to village.
My real name, curiously, is “Karl”.
Best regards.

had to deal with the Iberos who were already in Iberia–they are now called Basques.
Posted by: karlof1 | Mar 18 2025 17:04 utc | 309
No, the basques are what’s left from ice age (god knows from where, only language isolate in Europe, pre-indo-european) populations. Most of the population in north and center came from celtic waves circa 700BC, in the south maybe the iberians were a bit more related to basques (with the mentioned admixture of greek and phoenician)
So visigoth kingdoms would deal mainly, and mix, with celts (that could be a reason for your blue eyes, but not for the blond hair).

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Kremlin’s statement following Putin and Trump’s negotiations regarding the initiative for a 30-day ceasefire:
“In the context of the U.S. President’s initiative to introduce a 30-day ceasefire, the Russian side outlined several key points concerning the effective monitoring of a potential cessation of hostilities along the entire line of contact, the need to halt forced mobilization in Ukraine, and the rearmament of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Serious risks were also highlighted regarding the Kiev regime’s lack of willingness to negotiate, as it has repeatedly sabotaged and violated previously reached agreements.
Attention was drawn to the barbaric, terrorist crimes committed by Ukrainian militants against the civilian population of the Kursk region.“

Report: Netanyahu Intends To Sabotage Gaza Ceasefire Deal
According to Haaretz, the Israeli delegation heading to Qatar for negotiations will not advance to the second phase of the agreement
Israeli sources have told Haaretz that they believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to sabotage the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal and that Israeli negotiators headed to Qatar will not advance the agreement to its second phase.
“It’s a show,” one source told Haaretz. “Netanyahu is signaling quite clearly that he doesn’t want to move to the next phase. He’s sending a team without a mandate and without the ability to do anything.”….
….“Right-wing voters see that we haven’t defeated Hamas, and its operatives are still roaming with weapons. The signs on stages in Gaza during the hostage return events mock Netanyahu and reference his ‘total victory’ slogan,” the source said. “Netanyahu knows he doesn’t have a government if he proceeds with the deal.”….

Extending a regular deployment to just 7 months comes with a cost that is apparently non-trivial, as the stresses on man and material become progressively worse. If you don’t relieve the fleet from constant overuse and the accompanying maintenance backlogs, which in fact are not just happening, but exacerbated by lack of funds, personal and general competence, you end up with broken toys unfit for purpose. Now consider that the USN has only 11 CVN in inventory, with its oldest ship the USS Nimitz approaching end of service life in 2026 after more than fifty years …
Posted by: persiflo | Mar 18 2025 0:59 utc | 163
————————————————————–
Typical carrier deployment is six months. A one month extension occurs from time to time, a two month extension, as most recently happened for a Norfolk based carrier, is a big hardship. It also interferes with other deployment schedules. USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) set a record with three extensions May 2024 – Jan 2025.

Slightly off topic, but would be curious if anyone has any recommendations for good, sourced reads on the state of Iran’s nuclear (weapons) program. Lots of smoke around the issue—the fatwa is in place, Khamenei had stated just within the last week that Iran neither has nor wants them. Occam’s razor answer is they don’t have them. But it also would be sensible, imo, for them to be leaning into the same strategic ambiguity that Israel claims, and leave everyone wondering every time there’s a Richter Scale in the mountains…

“The Ford CSG’s COMPTUEX will continue through the next few weeks as it tests the ability of the strike group to act as a organized fighting force. Its deployment is expected early this summer, paired with a deployment extension of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) to ensure there is no loss of combat power in the Red Sea as strikes on Houthi targets continue.
While the U.S. Navy could not confirm or deny the USS Gerald R. Ford‘s potential involvement in strikes against Houthi targets, officials familiar with the matter expect CENTCOM to request the carrier’s presence in the region. Naval News reached out to U.S. Fleet Forces Command for more details but did not immediately receive a response.”

Wasp look similar to Mistral, Turkey ended up with the one France was building for Russia but whose delivery was halted (by US I think). Russia also has a carrier project apparently.

While we are talking about US Naval problems, might I divert drunken barflies attention to their own navels.
Drinking , drug abuse, sexual abuse,
physical abuse , nuclear threat, Genocide etc are all on the same spectrum of psychotic mental illness.
Psychotic meaning that the antisocial coping mechanisms we deploy against perceived threats from the world around us no longer register as problematic in our own consciences, because they serve a psychological “”” Function””” , a coping mechanism that relieves anxiety.
Come on, barflies, don’t be shy, you are all boozers or abusers , or you wouldn’t be posting on a blog whose slogan is ” oh. You know the reasons why”.
We are all planet brothers or planet sisters , so why do we have to gather here every day and our politicians gather in the media every day with the sole purpose of threatening eachother with violence, instead of recognising eachothers’ common human frailty and “””loving our neighbours as ourselves”””?
This formula of our Messiah AS is now two millennia old, and still appears to have been discarded in favour of tribal warfare on a Cosmic Nuclear scale.
How is possible that 5 year old in short pants Trumpledee can’t share his toffee apples with 5 year-old, short pants, Putindum , quietly and peacefully without spending every day fighting and punching eachother with sophisticated weaponry?
The US and UK have a White House and Buckingham Palace in the style of pre-Christian architecture. They don’t want to be Christian , they want to be Pagan.
Israel has set its timeclock back even further to the Ameleks of 13,000 BC.
If even 0.0001 % of all the money spent on the MIC and Politics, was spent on conflict resolution, the planet would not be overheating and MoA would not be necessary.
Then I could go back to repairing old books in my garden shed instead of trying to make peace every day between Tweedles Dum and Dee. Honestly …

The absence of ballistic missiles seems to indicate a managed escalation, so… enough to sting but not enough to sink?
From the iranian side it might be seen as a de-escalation and not giving the us reasons to strike.

Throughout history, Yemen has defeated all foreign occupiers, earning a reputation as a “graveyard of invaders”. Every major empire and military force that attempted to dominate Yemen has ultimately been forced to retreat.
US President Donald Trump has declared his intention to “destroy” Ansar Allah (Houthis) in Yemen, resuming intense bombing campaigns across several Yemeni provinces. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, as the U.S. seeks to directly target Yemen’s resistance movement, which has remained defiant despite years of war, blockades, and foreign intervention.

Leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, declared on Tuesday evening that “jihad was only ordained to confront tyranny, crime, and the injustices committed by the Israeli occupation.” He stressed that “the Yemeni armed forces will resume their escalation at the highest levels against the occupation,” directly addressing the Palestinian people: “You are not alone.”
Sayyed Al-Houthi underscored that “there is no alternative to bearing responsibility in confronting and resisting the Israeli enemy,” warning that “if Israel succeeds in eliminating the Palestinian cause, it will expand its crimes to other countries without any restraint.”….

….Al-Houthi urged for “a broad media campaign to expose Israel’s crimes and support the Palestinian people,” further arguing that “Israel benefits economically from Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, and it is the duty of these countries to impose an economic boycott.” He decried the normalization of ties with the Israeli regime, stating that “it is a disgrace and a crime for any Arab country to maintain positive relations with an entity as hateful and criminal as the Zionist regime.”….

🇺🇸🇾🇪 “Based” Tulsi Gabbard Justifies US War on Yemen she Previously Opposed
▪️US Director of National Intelligence Tusli Gabbard, who Trump supporters believed would provide a counterweight to the impulses of warmongering Neo-Cons Trump appointed including Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz, and Pete Hegseth has instead turned warmonger herself, not only supporting US military aggression against Yemen, but seeking to recruit other nations into the bombing campaign, Bloomberg reports;
▪️She is quoted as saying, “Our country and other countries should not be in a position to reroute commerce going through that area simply because of the threat that exists. We will look to other affected countries, as there are many impacted by this, to similarly take action;”
▪️Simply removing support for Israel’s brutality of the Palestinians or ending US military aggression across the region didn’t appear to be an option she considered……

The Nuclear War Plan for Iran
Trump’s threats to Tehran are alarming. Here’s what they mean
….That same month, my editor revealed that nuclear weapons were already back in the picture and that a war game undertaken just days before Trump was elected in 2016 ended with the U.S. nuking Iran. A new nuclear weapon was deployed in February 2020, a low-yield warhead for Trident II submarine-launched missiles. The Pentagon said it was “to strengthen deterrence.”….
….As part of the current “SEED Project” that I described yesterday, there is a more highly classified nuclear planning effort. Escalating an Iran conflict to the use of nuclear options can originate in two ways: One, with the CENTCOM commander “requesting” the use of nuclear weapons, mostly to stave off Iranian conventional military success; and two, in a “top down” order, that is, by the President, mostly as a “demonstration” to “signal” to Iran…..
