The second video looks more like a conventional bomb. A "mushroom shaped cloud" is present after any mostly spherical explosion, as the sphere of hot air rises. I've seen it with firecrackers. That shape of smoke doesn't make the explosion a nuke.
Neither of those explosions has the intense flash of "Teller Light" characteristic of atomic explosions.
Yep, I also sensed that was the case when I first saw the 2nd clip some time back, but on reflection and with the IAEA guy's statements contained in the linked Global Research article, plus the statement that use of mini-nukes is on the agenda, it's possible that one was used.
I have no idea how much of an intense flash would be observable from a subterranean mini-nuke explosion. I also have no idea how far the technology has come from the early days and if a Teller light flash characteristic remains a necessary element. Hence I'm inclined to defer to the IAEA guy's thoughts on the subject and at least entertain the prospect. But I agree it remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, Clinton's likely choice as SecDef, Michele Flournoy, seeks to exercise greater direct US military use in Syria to remove Assad (HERE) even if that means coming up against the Russians who are committed to supporting him. Flournoy says she would use stand off weapons to "retaliate" against and "destroy" Russian proxy forces bombing the *folks* (sic) we support. The problem here is that it is largely the Russians who are bombing those *folks*. And this leads to the question whether the Russian will simply sit back and permit this to happen, given all the investment they have made in Syria in the last year. It would be tremendous climb down for them and hugely damaging to their credibility - so don't expect it to happen, I say.
Allow me to add that statements like this will be seen in Moscow as an escalation and plans made accordingly. Russia has already said it will use nuclear weapons to defend Syria (HERE) from Turkey or Saudi and also dropped the hint two months earlier that he "hopes" nuclear weapons will not be needed to defeat ISIS (HERE).
Deja vu 13 days and the Cuban missile crisis?
Escalation anyone?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
