US $1 soon to be ¥160.

Massive shot in the arm for inbound tourism and connected industries - as well as Japanese exporters.

Posted in: Bank of Japan ends negative interest rate policy, opting for its first hike in 17 years See in context

0.1% increase? That's nothing. It will have little to no impact on anything. Despite what panic merchants may say.

Nothing to see here. Carry on.

Posted in: U.S. military operations across Sahel are at risk after Niger ends cooperation See in context

Niger is a signed member of Communist China's Belt and Road scam. They are simply doing what their paymasters are ordering them to do.

Hope they enjoy being controlled by China.

GOATani and the LA Dodgers sure are popular in Japan! There was a time one would see more Yankees caps on people in Japan - not any longer.

Posted in: Ohtani may be S Korea's most-beloved Japanese athlete See in context

Koreans don't hate Japanese individuals, Koreans only hate the Japanese government and the rightwingers.

Nope. Koreans - North and South - usually despise Japanese people. Which is why I am truly shocked so many across there love GOATani. Perhaps they believe he is of Korean heritage.

Posted in: Man falls to his death from hot-air balloon over Melbourne See in context

 I think there may be a phenomenon where in high places people are tempted to jump even if they are not suicidal.

One jumps from a high place to a certain death just for a thrill - not suicide? Nope. Not buying it.

Rest in Peace to this man. Sorry for those on the ground and first responders who saw the results.

Posted in: FA Cup thriller as Man United beats Liverpool 4-3 to ease pressure on Ten Hag See in context

A bit disappointing, but The Reds have their eyes firmly on the two biggest prizes on offer to them - The Premier League title, and the Europa League. The Triple is still very much on.

Posted in: N Korea fires multiple ballistic missiles toward eastern waters See in context

they have a very large capable military that is armed with nuclear weapons. They need to be taken very seriously.

Yeah right.....

They all traveled a distance of 350 kilometers (about 220 miles) at the maximum speed of 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) per hour.

So, these missiles are travelling at a speed most people can ride push-bikes at.

Great job, Fat Boy!

Unfortunately, there are still many paintings and artifacts taken by the Nazis that have yet to be returned.

Correct.

Plenty of valuables the British looted over various wins also yet to be returned.

A complete sham election. The opposite of "free and fair".

Shaky midget Putin has either killed or barred his main rivals from running. The result is meaningless.

This fat nothing "oversees" paratroop drills? Hilarious.

Imagine Fatboy parachuting. The oaf would need the world's biggest parachute.

Posted in: Hungary's Orbán rails against EU and 'Western world' See in context

Hungary is a small country with a leader attempting to exert undue influence. The average salary in Hungary is $1400.

Yes. And this fool actually projects the nonsense that he is protecting Hungary from immigrants. They simply don't want to come in the first place for $1400! Why would they?

Posted in: Hungary's Orbán rails against EU and 'Western world' See in context

Anyway, what do you think of leaders or people seeing Orban as a figure worthy of respect and even emulation?

I'd disagree with anyone endorsing, respecting or supporting Orban. He has shown himself to be a supporter of Communist China - shamefully signing away his country to that B & R disaster - as well as fascist Putin - and shown his contempt toward freedom-fighters like Zelenskyy.

Orban is a scam. Anti-democracy despots are never worthy of support.

Posted in: Hungary's Orbán rails against EU and 'Western world' See in context

Surprised you are so critical of Orban, sport. Trump, the man you described as the envy of western democracies, flutters his eyelashes at this CCP lover.

And, funnily enough, I was proven correct. You know very well the number of Western leaders who outwardly supported and/or imitated Trump - many of whom were since elected, for good or bad. Plenty in your nation, too. Should Trump win, the Trump imitation will continue in many democracies, I'd suspect.

Orban is simply parroting his Chinese paymasters lines in his "contempt" for "the West" and Europe. I'd be stunned if most people cannot see this.

Never understood the praise this old man got for that role.

Just a washed-up old creep. His "career" (if it was one) is finished. Good to see the Koreans coming forward and flushing these perverts out of the industry.

Hungary's Orbán rails against EU and 'Western world'

Of course he does. Orban is in lockstep with Communist China, having signed Hungary up to China's Belt and Road scam.

Hungary is now Communist China's client state in Europe thanks to Orban.

Posted in: Nissan, Honda to explore partnership in electric vehicles See in context

The two best car companies in the world partnering will lead to awesome results!

Sorry - I can't see Toyota in the headline here.

All the best to Nissan and Honda. I am certain this new collaboration will produce far better quality EVs than those Made in China ones.

Posted in: Ohtani and wife arrive in S Korea for Dodgers-Padres MLB opener See in context

Their children will be super athletes.

That child is going to have super genes. Way to go Ohtani-san! She's adorable!

Not necessarily. Pretty much everyone said there was a 100% chance Andre Agassi and Steffi Grafs two children would dominate world tennis for many years. In reality, one played a little baseball in school. The other plays tennis as a hobby.

There are a million other important factors, not just genetics.

Anyway, all the best to "GOATANI" - as the Korean fans are calling him - on his games in SK. He sure has become a worldwide sports phenomenon!

Fighto: If your shift is underground it about $20 more then your shift above ground. I worked maintenance and they could not get me to do a underground shift for a lousy extra $20.

Only $20 per shift? I admit, thats surprising. Not worth the risk for just 20 extra bucks.

Posted in: Ito left out of Japan soccer squad for World Cup qualifier amid sexual assault claim See in context

To play as a representative of Japan, you most likely need to be in good standing regarding moral of say Japan. The guy acknowledged himself as not worth it when he said he was being unfaithful to his wife.

It is interesting to see some people which usually love to put themselves as virtue protector now just siding with unfaithful people

This is very regrettable. Ito has not been charged with anything. His private life is just that - private. No one can judge his "morals". Those who DO judge others private life are always the most immoral folk of all. Always.

This is very disappointing for this young man. I hope he wins his court battles and returns to the field for the Blue Samurai.

And the Liverpool show rolls on. Klopp has that team firing on all cylinders at the business end of the season. No-one wants to play them - who can blame them!

The Hammers are European specialists and destroyed the German outfit. Having tasted European silverware last year, Moyes' men from East London are hungry for more. If it did eventuate, a Europa Finale between Liverpool and West Ham would have a lot of English football enthusiasts around the world licking their lips in anticipation!

Posted in: Biden opposes plan to sell U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel, citing need for 'American steel workers' See in context

Okay, FJB is concerned for the workers’ jobs and yet he brings in illegals in the US while they take away jobs from the American people. What a hypocrite.

Illegals are "taking away jobs"? Do Americans really want those $4/hr farm jobs? I doubt it.

Posted in: Biden opposes plan to sell U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel, citing need for 'American steel workers' See in context

So, RIP to US Steel - whoever wins in November.

Without Japanese investment, the US industry will cease to exist. American steel simply cannot be made efficient without help from Japan. The Chinese and Indians will kill them off. So many jobs will be lost.

Nihon Steel will now invest in steelmaking in the likes of far cheaper Thailand, which is a carmaking powerhouse. US's loss.

Posted in: Director Roman Polanski sued over more allegations of sexual assault of a minor See in context

Polanski is a paedo. If he was innocent of these crimes as he claims, he wouldn't have hid from justice for 50 years.

People who support Polanski endorse sex with minors - but won't admit it, of course.

Posted in: Court orders gov't to hand over Aum founder remains to daughter See in context

In death all ends and handing over his remains is the correct action to take. 

Would you have said the same about the remains of other notorious terrorists and their remains? Bin Laden? Hitler?

The Italians - stupidly - did not dispose of Mussolini's remains. His tomb with his remains is now a regular staging point for Italian neo-Fascists.

No. Terrorists remains should not be returned to anyone, because it is almost certain that will guarantee martyrdom. The court should have shown consideration for the Japanese public and thousands of families who were destroyed by this animal.

Underground mining will always be one of the most dangerous occupations -- which is the reason it pays so well.

Gotta live the comedy value Little Rocket Man provides! Fat nothing that he is.

Looking at the photos, the DPRK Army is the most pathetic and unfit for service military I have ever seen. Looks like they are all stunted for growth!
