Posted in: Putin escalates Ukraine war; issues nuclear threat to West See in context
If Putin wants to bolster his troop numbers, he needs to barricade the airports to stop the exodus. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Or perhaps Mr Puny could don a bullet proof vest and join his comrades in Ukraine and drill them in moving backwards.

Meaningless protest.

Posted in: Kishida calls for U.N. reforms to address Russian aggression See in context
Re-organizing the UN has been long overdue. Time to use "majority rule" procedure. The veto situation virtually means that anything Western countries propose (not always good) are automatically vetoed by Russia & China as a matter of course.

Does enlistment also come with a short term insurance policy that benefits their parents?
The selling points for enlistment must be interesting- weaving and ducking practice, how to extinguish tank fires, running (backwards) drills, submerged escape drills (navy), listening to propaganda ad nauseum and artillery practice at civilian targets.

Posted in: Bizarre bicycle vandalism reported to mayor of Mie town; he admits doing it See in context
It was reported in August and he kept doing it until Sept? (Aug31-Sept 1?)
Apparently he is not the usual stereotype bureaucrat who is content to wallow behind a desk and collect a fat pay check. An authentic hands-on mayoral approach.

Posted in: North Korea passes law allowing for nuclear first strike See in context
He obviously doesn't care that it would mean immediate termination of his family's dynasty and all those living under it. Law? Edict more like it.

Just another PR stunt. he is only there because he gets paid to be there. "meet & greet" speaking engagements @ 90,000Y per person. Purely a staged event to improve the ego of Albanese.

Posted in: Venus Williams, Osaka exit Cincinnati in first round See in context
Not having won a match since 2019, and being 42, what is the point of Venus Williams continuing?
