Posted in: Ishiba seeks meeting with Trump this month, following Abe example See in context

Trump "approaches every problem beginning with the question of what is in it for him. "

WRONG. He approaches with the question what is in it for the US? Rightly so. The military industrial complex is seething

Posted in: Trump's Madison Square Garden event turns into a rally with crude and racist insults See in context

The left is in panic mode over the amazing support Trump has. Everyone they disagree with is a Nazi according to them. Precisely why the accusation has little meaning anymore. Bad jokes aside it was an impressive gathering

Great place to top off my Tiger carbonated drinking bottle with Strong Zero

Posted in: For many investors and intellectuals leaving China, it's Japan — not the U.S. — that's the bigger draw See in context

Understandable. Hopefully better behaved than Chinese tourists

Congratulations Team Japan. I enjoyed your efforts

Posted in: Kishida says Trump rally shooting 'challenges democracy' See in context

After 8 years of the progressives falsely equating Trump to Hitler we shouldn't be surprised it triggered some lunatic like this. The democrats have blood on their hands

Posted in: Army whistleblower who exposed alleged Australian war crimes in Afghanistan is sentenced to prison See in context

Delusional white knight released classified documents. That isn't how whistleblowing works

Posted in: Non to English at Paris Olympics, say French MPs See in context

French hasn't been influential in a long time. Make sure there are no english directions for public transportation while you are at it

Posted in: Oil sprays from an ANA flight carrying 213 people as it lands in Hokkaido See in context

Every aircraft has component failures eventually. The crew received the indication and performed admirably. In other times this would not have made the news. We are just hyper-focused on every anomaly since Boeing's difficulties

Posted in: Netanyahu brushes off calls for restraint, saying Israel will decide how to respond to Iran's attack See in context

Should be interesting to watch. Iran is a paper tiger and will be dealt with severely.

Posted in: Biden suggests he may block Nippon Steel deal, seeks to triple tariffs on Chinese steel See in context

Foreign ownership of US steel is distastefull in the US. Biden excoriated Trump for wishing to increase tariffs on China. Now he has to pander to unions using the same tactic

Posted in: Trump is not isolationist, former U.S. envoy to Japan believes See in context

He isn't isolationist. His priority is his own country as it should be. He rightly called out some NATO members as freeloaders. Now they are scrambling to increase defense spending because of renewed aggressions by Russia.

Posted in: Many Japanese outside major urban areas do not engage with foreigners: survey See in context

As a foreigner I find this to be true. However, whenever I engage Japanese people there it is always a positive experience. Even with my limited language skills. A smile and a greeting helps

Posted in: China sees two 'bowls of poison' in Biden and Trump and ponders who is lesser of two evils See in context

Trump rightly called out China for the Wuhan Lab escape of Covid and unfair trade practices

Biden is bought and paid for

Posted in: ANA Boeing 737-800 domestic flight turns back due to cockpit window crack See in context

Sensationalized article. Completely unrelated event to door issue on the 787. The window is over a cm thick and only a few layer appeared to crack. Not a design or negligence issue...parts wear out and fail at some point. Any given day there are hundreds of precautionary landings around the world

Posted in: Australia bans Nazi salute and public display of terror group symbols See in context

The Australian government continues on the slippery slope of suppression of free speech. Precisely the reason the bill of rights exists in the US. Protection from an overreaching government

Posted in: Transcripts of fatal aircraft collision reveal coast guard plane not cleared for take-off See in context

Outstanding job by the crew AND passengers. If such a terrible thing were to happen to me I would want to be with Japanese crew and passengers

Posted in: U.S. continues to fly Osprey aircraft in Japan, despite Tokyo's request not to See in context

The far afield Ospreys are returning to their home nests first. Do you want them inspected on a mountain top?

Posted in: Heavy rain pounds western Japan, halting some bullet train services See in context

Rainy season is almost finished. Then the oppressive heat and humidity.

Posted in: Germany shifts focus to Indo-Pacific See in context

Sending 240 soldiers is symbolic at best. They have much more pressing concerns in their back yard
