Christopher Mas Osan comments

More than a million people marched through London yesterday ..How many were waiving flags other than the Union Jack?

Your right Campbell. The comment is a blistering roll on the floor gut buster of a joke.

If you are going to attack our bases and slaughter American men and woman of the U.S Armed Services. We will rein down on you a glimpse or fraction of hell and American might with its Allies. And under weak leadership in the White house. Had Trump been in office. God help Middle East. Everyone's accountable then.

I would have to agree with Trump or any other entity trying buy US Steel. Some American companies and assets for the preservation of the United States and our history. Must never ever be sold. American Steel should not be for sale ever.

I would half to agree with Trump or any other entity trying buy US Steel. Some American companies and assets for the preservation on the United States and our history. Must never ever be sold. American Steel should not be for sale ever.

She is beautiful. woman. Honestly the photos here does not do her justice.

She has Japanese blood and Ukrainian blood running through her.

I can relate how she might think and feel on personal level.

If she wants to represent Japan. So be it. Its her choice. And she earned the right.

I lived over half my life in Japan. My kids. They look half. But I can assure you.

They are Japanese to the core. And show no interest in America or Western culture at all. Or learning English. I gave up trying to teach them long ago.

They are interested in Calligraphy/ Uni-cycle dance and Kendo. That's it.

Whats the point?

Fair question.

Book deals to be discussed. A round of golf and Biden's favorite. A bike ride with his pal.

Neither one will hold office much longer. Down to months.

Sure a few things discussed. More weapons buying for the Pacific. Finalize the F35 deal.

Hmm....what else?

Vote purchases.

In 1947 Vote buying became known or brought forth. Trust me. It had been going on for long long time in Japan. Centuries.

But one real bad case of Vote buying took place in Hiroshima.

Katsuyuki Kawai and his wife, Anri, Out of Hiroshima paid dearly for this practice.

The Kawais were both convicted of vote-buying in the election and forced to vacate their seats in the Diet.

Katsuyuki received a three-year prison sentence for distributing a total of 28.71 million yen to 100 people, while his wife was given a suspended sentence for handing out a total of 1.6 million yen to four prefectural assembly members. They were destroyed. I mean their life was.

Vote buying. This has been going in Japan since the time, before a democracy system arrived in Japan. Centuries. Its just the way it is in Japan and always will be. It depends on how large of an area was bought to vote for one candidate.

The trick is. Do not get caught. The higher you go. The thicker the insulating becomes.

Kishida is well insulated. War is coming at some point and with in this decade. . I am sure of this.

Guys like Kishida will be needed. God forbid a war break out.

I work on Osan Base. I was just handed a gas mask. Mandatory compliance. (!!yikes!!).

Things have torqued up bit for sure here.

The discomforting thing is. My Korean counterparts just act like. Yep Little Kimmie is lighting off his bottle rockets again throwing that famous Un family tantrum. While chain smoking Marlboros and stuffing his big fat face with dumplings. Riding his horse while his daughter looks on with undoubting approval of her Father clapping on with approval like Daddio. Just another day in the office.

Look, facts. Its getting real over here. Maybe time to go back to Fukuoka or throw in the towel on it all an go to my secret squirl getaway residence in P.I. and grow avocados and coconuts and live the simple life.

What is wrong with this guy....Was' he not educated in Sweden?

@Mocheake Yes, The photos coming in through the NHK app too. Heart breaking. Most Japanese on 1/1 would have been celebrating in the home with the traditional Japanese foods and drink. Or at the family Haka cleaning and praying. But the first day of the year. Expect the death toll to climb. The Central area is going to really all the help they can get. Prayers sent.

Prayers for Japan!

Red Cross donations here.

https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation.html/

Prayers for the effected. I live in Korea now about two years in to it. But lived in Japan 27 years. It pains my heart so much to see this and the obvious suffering that follows . The great thing about Japan. Japanese emergency service's thou. They work aggressively and quickly to recover what they can, who they can and do it 365/24/7 tirelessly until everything and everyone is recovered. Prayers sent Japan. Fighto!

China- Challenge accepted.

MOAB X2. Hits on Ri Sol-ju. Ryongsong Residence.

The Saber is shelved forever. Then the largest humanitarian movement and effort to the North of all time the world has ever seen.

No more Un regime. Keep on shadow boxing Kimmie boy.

Mike Tyson about to step in the ring.

Cut the head off the snake and the body dies..

The North liberated. Unification at last.

The End-

Technically, Okinawa want USA to leave the Island, which is understable after so long. They are problematic when they are in a country or a region. They manipulate election and décision through corruption and black ops.

Black Ops in Okinawa. LOL. I fell out of my office chair on this one in hysterics. My stomach hurts so bad from laughing. Black ops in Okinawa, election interference, awe come on now. And learn to spell or you are not taken seriously here.

Mission impossible music starts.......

Here comes the U.S. black ops spooks guys! Look out for those Japanese imposters. Those American born Japanese who speak fluent Uchinaaguchi operatives trying to blend in and infiltrate, and sabotage our rallying against the movement. Here to change the minds of the masses through rallies and social media saturation. Come on.....Seriously?

The Bull dung is getting deep in here.  

The US Senate and Congress would never allow such an operation. Um, yeah sheer lunacy.....

The base is being moved. It is a done deal. This guy Tamaki needs to go. Okinawa is too of an important of a strategic jumping off point to protect Japan from its adversaries. And for those thinking China would not invade Okinawa or mainland Japan?

Well now. Here are some facts for you.

On Dec. 16, 2022, China extended its threats against Taiwan to include a more direct move against Japan—and its treaty ally, the United States. The Liaoning aircraft carrier sailed quietly east between Okinawa and Miyako islands, of Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture, sandwiching the Japanese territory with China’s mainland to the west.

Between Dec. 17 and 22, 2023 the Chinese navy flew a total of 180 fighter jets and helicopters from the carrier in an apparent drill against the Nansei island chain, also known as the Ryukyu Islands, which includes Okinawa, where the United States has several military bases. This elevated threat threshold, along with the increasing assertiveness of other Chinese actions such as the spy balloon incident, brings new dynamics and risks to Okinawa itself.

China has conducted drills on the eastern side of the island of Taiwan before, wading into Japanese territorial waters, but historically it stayed closer to Taiwan. This time, China’s navy sailed deliberately between two islands deep in Japanese territory, in what looked like training to deal with the larger U.S.-Japan defensive stronghold. Speeches, jamming or interfering with information channels, nearby missile tests, and buzzing jets over Taiwan have become expected forms of pressure from China. But steering an aircraft carrier east of the Nansei islands, past waters Japan designates for the U.S. military, was a far stronger move.

These drills occurred near waters and airspace the United States uses for training, an area Japan and the United States consider the more secure side of Okinawa. To some degree, such moves by China is a regular reaction to events around Taiwan, where China frequently saber-rattles in response to the island’s defense efforts. The United States and Japan had just signed large defense spending bills to assist Taiwan. But Okinawa also has a significance of its own.

And for the record.

Yet given the strategic value of Okinawa, the island may be doomed to be contested by larger powers. Chinese revanchists often point to the island as a potential claim for Beijing itself, based on the tributary relationship between the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Qing empire. Beijing has made use of these claims itself during disputes with Tokyo over other island territories.

So, I would say China would be all in to taking back what they believed to be rightfully Chinese sovereignty. The islands of Okinawa.

This is a pointless conversation to have unless South Korea arms itself with Nukes. And they will soon because the public demands it. Kimmie can threaten all he wants. But no way the US is going unleash nukes on North Korea. Unless it's all out Nuclear war globally. One MOAB bomb or two on Kimmie's HQ and the North's command structure will crumble. Bet me.

And guess what. Major shift. As of today. 72% of South Koreans want the nuke. That is what is coming next.

Despite the history of saber rattling and belligerence from Pyongyang and the Kim family, it wasn’t until November 2023 that the South Korean president spoke openly of the need for the Republic of Korea to either return to American nuclear weapons or commence an indigenous nuclear weapons program. And super quickly. South Korea is ready to arm itself. This is a big deal.

Our dear leader Kimmy Boy, Just upset his Lexus was seized Bangladesh, This is very possible thought in his head. He is mad at Japan again.

A the Chiba Car exporter got busted now he is out 10.000.000 Man 70K. Plus shipment cost ro-ro or container.

He got mad and wrenched up a launch.

Discussion & Inkan...send to the assistant manager, Discussion & Inkan. Send to the manager. Discussion & Inkan. Send it to section supervisor. Discussion Inkan. And on and on and on we go. Right to CEO

Weeks later.

The decision came back. Gomen na. You may not buy quality toilet paper at Cosmos.

Please stay with current brown paper format and the bidet.

This happened ! The Japanese wrote the book on micro management.

Well lets not wish death on him too fast. He is one of the only people left who knows the real truth behind 911.

He also dismantled the Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese. Crime families.

We can not forget that. If you ever had to live in NY when these Mafioso ran NY. There was an element of fear.

But if these families were in power today in NY, Maybe better off and no need to see addicts OD-ing EVERYWHERE or on Tranq and spent Narcan bottles everywhere. Because, that what you have now.

But Rudy right, He was working on the behest of his boss. Clearly a scape goat. He is worth 50 million. There is no way he can pay this out. And all his money is offshore. The mans ruined and disbarred. At best the speech circuit if anyone who would even go to listen to him. The aftermath of Trump. Who by the way is slaying Biden at the polls as of today on every poll too. That is scary. I do not want to see Trump back in power. I am Republican. But Chris Christie should have the nomination. He killed in in the last debate. Rudy may end like Epstein if he starts flipping...But no way he can pay that. No way.

The Sony guys. Yeah, put out the word on the street. Show "em" whos' boss. Xbox mafia moving in silence.

Who in the world threatens Nintendo? Harmless. I love the new Mario Golf. Someone had to ruin it for everyone else. Not cool.

The Osprey is not just an APAC base region issue, problem's and concerns.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accidents_and_incidents_involving_the_V-22_Osprey#:~:text=Four%20crashes%20killed%20a%20total,a%20total%20of%2033%20people

Its a major problem.(globally)

Since 1991 just till 2007 a window in time. Four crashes killed a total of 30 people during testing from 1991 to 2000. Since the V-22 became operational in 2007, 12 crashes, including two in combat zones, and several other accidents and incidents have killed a total of 33 people.

The tilting rotors and the software do not gel together.

Japan's concerns are warranted and anywhere this aircraft is deployed as well stateside.

They really need to get the aircraft safer some how. Too many have died.

They want to power a space ship with this technology Fusion Engines  One disadvantage is that conventional electricity production requires a low-temperature energy sink, which is difficult (i.e. heavy) in a spacecraft. Direct conversion of the kinetic energy of fusion products into electricity mitigates this problem.

Kiss has a few good songs. 20 or so. Not bad.

They are all here.

I have seen them live. Yep. Twice. Well, wait. I was dragged against my will. LOL.

Paul is very good vocalist and rhythm player who can jump in and out lead. I use the exact same heads based on the R. Blackmore model, but powered with EL84s instead of the stock 5881s" As Paul does. I can get raunchy delayed tones out of heads without using those cheesy effects pedals. Through hand strength. Paul's playing is the same way. Ace F. too.

If they just dropped the costumes and the drama and the endless final tour stuff. It would be cooler.

Let Paul control the band and not Ego maniac Gene Simmons who by the way is so hated by many in the Rock scene. With Gene. Its all. I , me, myself. Big Bad Gene Simmons. Van Halen is because of me. Bla Bla.

You want to give real respect to a real rock band? Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Saxon, Slayer, Ozzy, Sabbath who never really disbanded. These are real rock bands that deserve respect.

The real point is here. No matter what the economy is doing. Inflation. Auto strikes. Smart chip shortages. Or Rail head strikes. Materiel shortages. Whatever problem you want to throw in.

"""""People are still going to buy automobiles no matter what"""""

New autos are 7% to 10% over MSRP right now stateside. Buying at sticker price nearly impossible.

Go to markups.org if you want to see for yourself.

Interests rates higher than ever.

Metal is being moved. Cars are getting sold.

Yes the Osprey has had its challenges. USMC or the Department of Navy should take action on this aircraft.

Ground them and decommission them and just go back to and updated  CH-53K King Stallion or something known for reliability.  

We got 8 Marines out there. Hoping for the best.

Burden? What burden is that? Tired of hearing Okinawa whine.

"The efficiency (of U.S. military operations) takes priority, and there has been no mention of how long they will be deployed. The excessive burden of hosting U.S. military bases on locals appears to be disregarded," Okinawa Gov Denny Tamaki told a press conference in mid-October.

Denny san, Ano ne,

Why is the military in Okinawa in the first place?

Japanese governments have allowed US bases in Okinawa in exchange for a US commitment to defend Japan from external attacks and have supported the bases on the grounds that they ostensibly enhance Japan's security. Now that reach extends to Taiwan and South Korea and a host of other nations. Be happy Okinawa and its peoples' are part of something bigger than just Okinawa. Stop your excessive habitual constant whining man.

No US forces' in Okinawa Denny, Start learning to speak Chinese with the North Korean dialect on the side.

I wonder why the falling ratings? Japanese folks must be tired of a lagging economy and being broke.

Kishida seemed to be the right guy for Japan for Japan's foreign diplomacy. He has done some notable work for Japan's National security and the entire region.

Very sad. Over food? Unemployed too? To feel that helpless. Japan should really do more to help the unemployed and hungry. At 44 years old. This should not stand. Mental illness and or depression I am sure played a factor in this. But this is nuts. Japan open please open your version of welfare to all not just single moms. Terrible.

Times are changing. Japan and Kishida are simply acknowledging the shifts in the region.

He is taking into consideration the weaponry threat posed by China and Russia, North Korea that could be inflicted upon Japan and her citizens.

But its far deeper down the rabbit hole than that. Its the embassy closures everywhere by the North Koreans. Chinas massive buildup of war ships and airpower. He is looking or being advised to on the markets.

Data hacking, bank hacking, and his trying to honestly assess how to combat for the most part what looks like a major conflict that will arise in the APAC region at some point.

He has right for concern or worry for the country and its peoples.
