Posted in: Japan's trade minister fails to win U.S. assurance on tariff exemptions See in context

To the good people disagreeing with my posts. Dare I say? Truth hurts. Y'all are following Vladimir's puppet to America's demise. You can be proud, but no other person in the world in their right mind will agree with you. Only the likes of the brainwashed souls in the USSR (Russia now but, not really) and some other beautiful dictatorial nations in our world will.

God Bless America. I hope Mr. Trump wakes up one day and realizes HE needs to change or his country, OUR country, will wake up to something truly unpleasant for all.

Do the people being horribly being misled by Trump not understand that ruining relations and relationships with "healthy, democratic nations" is not only not necessary but absolutely the wrong way of going about it ?!

The US business leaders and our elected officials are the ones who created the "mess" we're in regarding a lack of self-sufficiency in many industries. Punishing others and hurting our own people is childish and reckless. I understand our President is clueless, but the fact that so many Americans follow his lead down the wrong path is beyond words. I try to keep hope alive and pray the future generations only read about this in history "books" rather than be living in the aftermath. My God, sounds like an apocalyptic movie. MAGA fans, beware. It will be on you.

I wanted to comment but upon reading the other comments I just would like to thank the poster Peter14 for his. It's a sad moment in time to be an American. No matter who you voted for, we are all being damaged on so many fronts by this completely inept, careless and reckless man who is willing to sell the soul of America to the devil all while posing as a fighter and savior of Christian values.

Posted in: Japan urges G7 unity over Ukraine to avoid 'wrong lesson' See in context

The war is coming to an end. The U.S. decides not anyone else.

Perhaps 100% correct in this respect. However, if "peace" is artificially forced onto the victimized nation on the terms of the aggressor then we the "free world" are giving up everything we believe in and are handing over unchecked future powers for aggression to the leaders of nations who are hungry only for one thing, absolute power over everyone at no matter the cost.

The current US administration will give the USA a humongous black eye in the history books and will tarnish their children's futures for a long time to come with this kind of short-sighted thinking. In the name of blindly following your "great leader" you may very well be doing your own, our own country, a monumental disservice. Please try to read and listen to the others' viewpoints rather than always only the ones you "know" are speaking the truth. The citizens of Russia no longer have that freedom. Let's be very careful not to follow in the wrong footsteps.

I can't see the upside for Tesla in doing so.

Agree. However, I am biased at this moment. If I owned a Tesla today, I would get rid of it ASAP. I couldn't with a clear conscience be driving around with Musk's "presence" all around me. Or simply take a chainsaw and finish it off then and there :)

Posted in: Japan asks Taliban to respect human rights during talks in Tokyo See in context

Shame on these "men" called the Taliban. They fear allowing girls from becoming smarter and better than they ever could be. Shameful bunch of "men" not allowing girls to thrive and live without their almighty control. Japan should not support in any way, shape or form these low-lives and scum.

Posted in: Rubio to skip G20 meeting after calling host South Africa's policies anti-American See in context

So russia is back in the G8 and the US is soon to be out. Winning everyday under the Trump administration

I am very sad to say, you are 100% correct. All of the US's adversaries are celebrating/laughing/peeing their pants in laughter while the US's concerned citizens and allies around the world are perhaps witnessing before their very eyes the demise of the America we all hoped and dreamed of succeeding in its pursuit of that dream for ALL.

I AM SAD. Although I am an American, I can not with a clear conscience say that I am a proud American at this moment in time. On the contrary. And I can't believe that after fighting, protecting and dying for the freedom for future generations, our predecessors' sacrifices is coming to this. Oh my what a heartbreak.

I truly hope, someday, I will be a PROUD American, again.

Posted in: Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi drop their talks on business integration See in context

Toyota seems to like joint ventures. Maybe Nissan can grovel over that direction for some $$.

Actually, I think Toyota does joint ventures rather cautiously and doesn't seem to make the same HUMONGOUS disasters which Mercedes made with Chrysler or the entire Stelantis debacle. Platform sharing and cost-cutting alone is not what draws and keeps customers to your showrooms. It's trust built on dependable and quality engineering. The resale values of vehicles tells a lot about this point.

Posted in: Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi drop their talks on business integration See in context

Honda would be better off progressing ALONE, Well Done Honda.

101% AGREE!!! Honda would lose many of its loyal customers eventually if they'd become one entity with an inferior company such as Nissan. Sorry Nissan but "cost-cutting" alone is not what customers want, it's quality. However, with EV's being the next "standard" in cars I do believe Honda may need a partner to be more competitive. I hope they find the right match.

Posted in: Hong Kong officials denounce attack on ice hockey players at Asian Winter Games See in context

Seems like more boxing and WWE fans here wishing to turn ice hockey into a farce. Real athletes are masters of their sport. Athletes who resort to fighting during or after any game are just not respectable athletes. There are other words to describe their behavior and they aren't positive ones. I feel like a few too many American fans prefer fights to break out in any and all sports as a kind of entertainment rather than enjoy the true sport.

Oh and, this mentality seems to have seeped into our politics. Very, very unfortunately.

The thumbs down crowd here proves my point, btw (-_^)

Posted in: Hong Kong officials denounce attack on ice hockey players at Asian Winter Games See in context

As a kid I was amazed by the wonderful sport of ice hockey. The Montreal Canadiens with Guy LaFleur were just awesome to watch. The best hockey and truly all sport without the ugliness of today's standards. I wish the rules would make players stick to technique and ability rather than primitive body blows and fighting.

Posted in: Honda eyes making Nissan its unit amid slow progress in merger talks See in context

I'm glad to hear Honda is thinking to make Nissan a subsidiary rather than merging the two companies. Really glad. If Honda is not in charge of this union then it's better for Honda to not take part. I hope it works out and creates a stronger and more competitive player in the future of automobile production, be it EV, fuel cell or whatever. BYD is forcing all automobile makers to regroup. It's a sign of the times. Maybe a good thing, who knows.

Posted in: Do you agree with U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to block Nippon Steel's proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel? See in context

But the outrage from our Japanese friends compared to their opposite outrage that the Canadians were trying to buy 7-11 is a little too much hypocrisy for me to handle...

Valid point.

Posted in: What a merger between Nissan and Honda means for the industry See in context

It will only work if Honda Runs The Show.

100% agree. Either Honda runs it the "Honda way" or all three will be the next victim of a take-over. Honda must be cautious and smart in how this is carried out.

Posted in: Which is better for the environment: an artificial Christmas tree or a natural one? See in context

Christmas itself has evolved from a religious day to a mass marketing season and one wonders whether it is worth maintaining an old tradition.

Wow. Speechless. Speak for yourself, Sir. You keep with your traditions and perhaps try to respect other people's traditions.

Posted in: Ishiba's diplomatic knack in doubt amid blunders, no Trump meeting See in context

What a photo of Mr. Ishiba. He seems out of place and lost. Although changing prime ministers too often is not a good thing, I feel Japan should consider changing him out sooner than later. He just doesn't seem to fit there. Japan at this point in time really needs a good, smart and vibrant leader. One who truly hears its people and knows how to stand up to but also negotiate with the other nations' leaders.

Posted in: U.S. vetoes U.N. resolution demanding cease-fire in Gaza because there's no link to a hostage release See in context

So sad in so many ways. The ones making these decisions to continue until the other gives in are all making humanity look real bad. Shame on those Hamas leaders who acted in such an absolute despicable way at the beginning. Shame on the Israeli leaders for not having the decency to know when to stop killing and to try to bring back their own. And, shame on the leaders of the US for allowing this to go on for so long. We know that ending the war will not bring a lasting peace but for now at least we should give a moment for sanity and compassion to have its say.

Posted in: Trump, Harris battle for Wisconsin amid blowback on violent rhetoric See in context

I'm not sure what is going on but Trump is able to lure in people from not only the "uneducated" gun-loving hardcore 2nd amendment-protecting-semi paranoid Americans but also the more educated folk with more sensible values from all over the spectrum and ethnic backgrounds. This "dictator-in-the-making" is somehow spreading his mental "virus" on to his listeners and creating political "zombies". I AM CONCERNED, not by him but by his disciples. What on earth is this?!

Posted in: China says Japanese fishing boat illegally entered territorial waters See in context

Oh dear, a fishing vessel crossed into China's waters. China actually has the galls to complain about, this?? Hilarious on one hand but also insulting on the other. After how China has been acting on the world stage. Crossing every single of its neighbors waters with much, much more than just fishing vessels and then demanding that this is now their "territory", no questions asked.

I don't see how Netanyahu's killing of Palestinian and Lebanese children will bring peace to his people in the long run. I only see things getting worse for Israel at this pace. I pray I'm wrong.

Posted in: Plan to reuse decontaminated soil in Fukushima safe: IAEA See in context

@Data

front the article

I can breathe a sigh of relief if what you're saying is true. Thanks.

Then again, why not just simply keep it away from anything agricultural? It still is a risk and we all know that when something of concern which has been deemed safe at one point in time only becomes to be proven otherwise decades later by which time we are speaking of much more serious health issues such as cancers and birth defects. And as we all know it is extremely difficult to prove the cause of cancers and birth defects while trying to do so also takes decades for victims by which time they are either dead or dying, rather than living their lives.

Being concerned about something like this should not be frowned upon. We should all think, discuss, learn and speak up about matters rather than letting those "wonderful" algorithms define who you are and be your sole source of vital information ( this final comment is directed only to those who take offense at what I stated) ;)

Posted in: Plan to reuse decontaminated soil in Fukushima safe: IAEA See in context

Not sure where you two are getting this from..

From the article. That's where. And by the way, why are some people so full-heartedly supporting anything and everything nuclear???!

I personally am not completely against it when it's done correctly but when things are handled poorly and people just defend the nuclear industry no matter what, then I can't help but compare it to how the gun-loving folk here in the US defend the NRA (in America) even in times of mass shootings and absolutely horrific attacks on innocents. These NRA folk come up with THE lamest excuses for not facing the facts and allowing truths to be spoken.

To the people who gave thumbs down to my previous post I feel you are blindly protecting anything and all Japanese. This mentality does not help the children of Japan and actually is a detriment to their futures.

Posted in: Plan to reuse decontaminated soil in Fukushima safe: IAEA See in context

Reusing the highly radioactive soil on AGRICULTURAL land ?!? I will not be trusting any food item with a Made/Grown in Japan label in that case. I'm sure the "specialists" know much better than I but I don't believe these people making these decisions have the pubilc's safety as their top priority. Not happy with this decision. Come on Japan, please try to do better. Saving money anywhere and everywhere isn't going to be to your benefit forever. It will come back to bite you eventually.

Totally agree with previous post "She's as strong as they come! Beautiful person!".

Whoever gave it a thumbs down could use a dose of empathy and a lesson in the basics of human compassion. IMO
