G7 leaders struggle for unity as Trump says removing Russia from group was a mistake

including Russia will improve unity? LOL

I like the fact that they are trying.

At this point, all I can say is that it's very sad. I hope they find and fix the cause soon.

I have my doubts about Koizumi

as long as the two countries continue to speak to each other in complete sentences, I am not worried.

Obviously they could not see their own future.

well, at least the breakup with Elon is no longer the top News. I'm sure Trump has a goal in mind, right?

The congestion of tourists in places like Mt Fuji could be alleviated by providing better transportation and accommodation to other rural areas (eg to the North and South), where the moneu is really needed.

Is there anyone very different from Ishiba in line for the job?

I would like to see the video of him getting caught ;)

True words. I often find myself telling younger Japanese kids that they just have to get through the system because there are many more opportunities--eg abroad--for adults. But it would be much better if there were immediate opportunities for kids who don't fit in.

A University employee.
