I give you this. What does Trump really want. Only half a term? Or a full term and a chance to place himself in position to hold on to power. Go to war will see him outer after the mid term. Not go to war, save the mid term and say in power and able to get back to his golfing LOL. I know Trump has no loyalty to the denigrating Zionist sect. It Him first and Him second them come the his USAmerican supporting base. This is what he be mouling over during the next 12 days and odds are he will put himself first.

The racist occupiers have lost. The USA will come to their senses because those trillions of Arab states investments will not arrived if the USA don’t get out of the Middle East. This is the only option the USA have to slow down their decline. Go to war with Iran who will have China backing and material support will see the USA enter into another for ever war and drain their economy and making the USD very very weak and speed up their decline. Still either way will see millions of USA passport hosting Jews applying for unemployment funds sucking out more funds. The USA have place themselves in a bad position that they can overcome or go to war and be in a worst position which they might ever recover from. Do you think the average USA citizen is going to welcome the Jews without racial feelings when there is no Jobs for themselves. The counter offensive of Hamas on 07/10 will be a day forever celebrated for the Muslim polar world. Hoo Hah Hamas Hoo Hah Hezbollah Hoo hah Hosties and a huge Hooray for Iran.

Was that part of the deal you let us retreat and we let you keep bombing Israel airport!. Use their Navy and Air Force just like in Korea just like in Vietnam just like in Afghanistan and Iraq lol. Mate you seem to avoid the history of the USA military quests.

Tai: they are giving the finger China. Is there any need to navigate that course. There is a lot of infrastructure on the sea bed in that strait connecting the Chinese province to the mainland. There no need to sail that course. It an act of stupidity at the lease.

This aristocractic line is so revered among the Japanese some still see them as descendants of Kame and have the Devine right be representative of their 2000 year old culture. So yes the line will adapt for future generations. At lease they are not the Happbergs. So if it means allowing for equal gender concerning their rein it will happen. If it does it will change inheritance law in Japan.

Posted in: Nippon, U.S. Steel say they have completed partnership deal See in context

The deal does not say Nippon Steel can not buy back the Government golden share shares. There will be tariff applied to imported ores if they decide to supply structural steel for columns, beams shipbuilding and stainless steel production. They can get long with the low quality mines that come with the deal to supply the Auto industries but that about it. I assume Nippon steel will still achieve offshoring because all indicators show the USD is in decline and countries are shying away from their bond market .So soon or latter a Government will selloff of their holding in USSleet to repay their world debt. and keep the USD from decline.

Wallace it call a saline drip,

A saline drip, also known as normal saline infusion, is a common medical treatment that delivers a solution of sterile water and sodium chloride (salt) directly into a patient's bloodstream via an intravenous (IV) line. It's primarily used for hydration, electrolyte replacement,

Posted in: Heatstroke alerts issued in Japan as temperatures surge See in context

Good to see JT using the correct terminology for heat exposure " heat-related malaise" compared to the slang term of heatstroke. Remember for those who find this weather difficult. Replace the salts that you loss and keep drinking plenty of water. Both are advised by medical experts. Salts are similar to electrolytes but salt is a great substitute if you find these electrolytes drink to expensive.

Yeah and winter is cold. I spent the summer in the southern hemisphere and it was a mild summer were we didn't utilise the Air con. 38 degrees south of the equator. About the as Tokyo. it did not get above 38c all summer. It was a very comfortable weather. I spent last summer in Iwate again very comfortable weather and never got above 36c. I enjoy these mild summer in Japan. 35c to 40c is the perfect temperature for me. But once it over 40c it bearable and utilise the air con. It been a few yeas since I live out a full winter but the last time I did some day were cold as 12c. and it awful. Funny but I live in the North alp in Otari were it was often below 0c but not uncomfortable like the 12c back home. I am spending another summer in Iwate and it been very mild so far with the old 30c so I will enjoy this warmer weather and get about on long hikes in the mountains of Iwate and Akita.

Posted in: Japan calls for utmost restraint from Iran in conflict with Israel See in context

Once the dust settle and Israel has abandon the Muslim polar world you will find Iran was never going to require nuclear weapons. It was a decoy for Israel to strike first given Iran the opportunity to bomb the living daylights out of Israel without getting offside with real world democracies and in doing so destroy their economy and their will to stay in the Palestine. The majority of Israel population will desert knowing that they are on a losing side and face a compulsive draft. Their population knows they can find safe haven and welcome arms wide in the USA. It is obvious not one country is crying for Israel and one who are not UK and France are showing token support only to keep their convective voters on side. This is my opinion but I have this uncanny nack of getting it right on these issue. When 07/10 occurred I was the only one on this forum supporting the Palestinians and I was called anti semitic and my posts were always pull and suspension follow. Today my opinions the exactly the same and receive thumps up and little opposition. Call my a idiot now but those doubter will find I am correct.

"We call on all parties to take immediate measures to de-escalate situation as soon as possible, prevent greater instability in the region, and create conditions for returning to the right track of resolving issues through dialogue and negotiation," Guo said.

Compare this statement to that of Trumps and it easy to see who is the child in the room.

China is levels above the idiocy of the USA when it comes to concerns on geopolitics.

22 paragraphs of utter BS. Only one that spoken by Nippon steel.

The companies have not made public the full terms of Nippon Steel's acquisition of U.S. Steel or the national security agreement with the federal government.

The other 21 paragraph stating the USA government has got the deal of 51 % over the line. Yeah no BS, you have nothing

If the Hanamaki Kame was in this years NPB he would not get a start on the mound it is so competitive with standard of pitches that each team have in the NPB. But in a inferior MLB the Dodges starting line up he will be used as a pitcher risking the best batter in the world to injury.

Like I have stated USA beef is only good for dog food and Australia dog food industry won’t touch it. When the USA start regulating their beef herd with checks and balances from birth to plate the Australian dog food industry will start importing USA beef tariff free. Lift your standards. There isn’t one USA cattle producer that can garrentee if their cattle came from Mexico. The USA only have lift their game in tracing where there cattle come from the exact padlock it’s was born in where it was raised and where it was slaughtered that when it won’t be restricted from our markets.

kohakuebisu: But it is not for foreigners to decide how the US military gets used. How American lives are risked. How Americans' money is spent.

Have you ever heard of AIPAC. Every Senator and every congressperson has a member appointed to their staff in the federal and state administration. If you lived in Texas during the floods and applied for flood relief you had to sign a contract stating you support Israel

Posted in: Israel-Iran clashes escalate; civilians urged to evacuate target areas See in context

This is the deal Iran give up requiring nuclear weapons in exchange that Israel give up there Nuclear arsenal. If not, Missile will keep on raining down on the Jewish instigators. This was the same deal offered in Medina 624 -627 conflict to lay down your arms to Banu Qaynuqa but instead they decide to abandon the Arab own territories for Spain. Here they were also exiled from Spain in 1498 after the defeat of the Muslim Moors where the Muslim Moor took up the offer of integration. The Jew was not even offered the luxury of integration. Kind of tell you that the Jew are just international trouble maker and nothing has changed.

I hate this Kpop or J pop but why is a company policy on working condition a problem. No one are forcing these employees into the industry. They choose to enter the industry on their own decision. Police have a policy of if you do crime you loss your Job. Prison Guards have a policy of no sex with prisoners loss your job Army have a policy of not shooting a fellow soldier or loss your job Most job disallow drinking alcohol or loss your job. Come on spot light you can do better for a topic. then finding a problem on occupation and company policy.

Posted in: Diet OKs pension reform law to ensure more contributions See in context

The age pension system in Australia is the world best practice which started in the 80's. Now the government pays very little on aged pension as 4 in 10 retirees receive an aged pension where before the 80's 10 in 10 use to saving billion a year of taxes. Now these saving are spent on keeping the aged socially active in the community allowing to better life outcomes. I tottally enjoy to saying this that it was left initiative and was hated by the conservative. But today the conservative side of society fully indorse this system and would not dear alter it. Back in the 80's a law was pass the the employer had to pay 7% of the employee wage into a supperannuation fund. Not 7% from their wage but 7 % on top of the workers wage. The conservative went ape S*&^ at the time and promise to rescind the law. Today the % is now 12% of the wage weather you work one hour or 40. the worker can only access the fund at the age of 65. It been 45 years and even a minimum wage earner of 40 years can now retire financial comfortable.
