[Episode] NIPPON SANGOKU: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun • Nippon Sangoku - Episode 12 discussion

That was some feat by the 200 guys who escorted the prisoner, to haul all of those junk cars to the top of the cliff above the road, and keep them concealed long enough for the trap to be sprung.

I'm sure the writer is just "analogizing" something that happened with rocks instead of junk cars.

That was a lot of exposition to set up the next season or cours.

As usual in samurai dramas, the greatest enemy to overcome is within.

Oddly enough they didn't cover what happened to the Taira snot nosed brat.

I'd imagine that he's going to hold a grudge against his father.

Anyway, it's an obvious season ender.

I hope this gets S2 or a second cours, because the animation and setting are so good!

Boston is the most pro-Brexit town in the UK. What has leaving the EU changed? 'They got nothing'

clicks on map I have no idea where Boston UK is.

zooms out on map I still have no idea where Boston UK is.

zooms way out on map It's kind of in the middle of nowhere isn't it? Too far off the M1 corridor to be useful for anything that needs a supply chain. Surrounded by farmland.

You'd have thought that the locals would have recognized the importance of the EU export market before voting for Brexit way back then.

It sounds like it was a vote in anger from government disinvestment in rural areas.

How does this scam work?

LA is relatively close to the Mexican border.

Nobody's interested in a 72 year old's organs.

I'd be most worried that it's a kidnapping for ransom, since seniors generally have savings and retirement assets, since they'd be alone with strangers in unknown territory.

[Combat] SOF destroyed a rail bridge in occupied Crimea and a repair train sent to fix it.

Machine translation:

There is no longer a railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal in Crimea – SOF!

The Middle Strike units of the Special Operations Forces, in cooperation with the undergrounders of the SSO, resistance movement, destroyed a railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal, in the temporarily occupied Crimea, near the village of Rozdolne.

It was a strategic military-logistic artery of the occupiers. The facility was part of the transport corridor for the movement of goods, resources and military-material means in two key areas: from the territory of the russian federation through the Crimea – to provide a group of troops in the southern direction, as well as inside the peninsula – to maintain the functioning of the Crimean military infrastructure.

The SOF drones on the night of June 22 destroyed the bridge with accurate strikes: both the railway track destroyed and one of the runs took place.

At the same time, the undergrounders of the STS resistance movement reported the arrival of special repair railway equipment to the facility. The second phase of the mission was started. On the night of June 23, the SSO drones hit both repair equipment and re-remains of the bridge.

Special Operations Forces continue to destroy the enemy's military logistics, reducing its offensive and defensive potential.
