This is milk toast at its best. Diamonds for dog’s sake?!

> Also, there is so much support for Russia in this forum. Lack of compassion, lack of empathy. Shocking.

It's nothing.

You should see the support for israel

Fingerpointing

At least there's no (not much?) hysterics about the world ending anymore

Hamas needs to give back the hostages and they need to surrender. When that happens, I will happily criticize Israel for whatever ill things they do.

Absolutely appalling

Like shooting in a barrel, with a shotgun

wow!

Hahaha sure

Actually the US has a long track record of inciting and initiating wars and conflicts around the world while China has a long track record of peaceful dispute resolution with its neighbors.

> Whataboutism. Your response has nothing to do with the comment I was responding to

Lol what is whataboutisn? Whatever,, it's good that you acknowledge it's true though

People can't even give up some of their guns lol

But Japan, which relies on the United States to provide nuclear deterrence, has declined, citing a lack of participation by nuclear weapons states.

No point in the ban I guess if states that have the nuclear weapons don't agree.

Get on with it til the end

No point stopping now

Can technology solve the global climate crisis?

Well what is the definition of climate crisis now? What are the bounds , the ends

Isn't the climate crisis supposed to end the world soon? Why isn't anyone mentioning it now?

Why is there no more urgency?

Did the climate emergency solved itself?

A COP28 declaration backed by some 120 countries stressed the link between health and climate change. It made no mention of phasing out planet-warming fossil fuels, but pledged to support efforts to curb health care sector pollution, which accounts for 5% of global emissions

subtle

as local historian pls explain why they should be still here and get sponsored by my money?

> Because China is a territory hungry monster that continues to encroach on territorial waters of sovereign countries and threaten to invade the independent nation of Taiwan. The only thing keeping China from trying to bully the region around is U.S. military presence

Actually the US has a long track record of inciting and initiating wars and conflicts around the world while China has a long track record of peaceful dispute resolution with its neighbors.

Of course China did use armed methods too

Incident was unfortunate but it's also a good reminder for Japan to not have any illusions about who they're dealing with

Expected

Like the nuclear wastewater, let's pretend that it's safe by diluting it first with the ocean so we can hardly detect the presence of nuclear particles before dumping it of course in the same ocean. Oceans so big it will take quite a while before anything noticeable happens. And when it does let's cross that bridge then

Not that hard to manage nuclear waste now, how hard can it be to manage much more in the future.

And why concern ourselves with increased chances of nuclear disasters, let's cross that bridge when where at it

Of course they want to minimize reliance on oil at all costs.

Anyway, Japan found a place willing to be a dumping site for the nuclear waste yet?

And this will most probably sell well here in Japan also, I don't see why not.

Of course sales would be greater in countries with more obese people

Great, but that will only work for some people. Obesity is not caused by what you eat alone.

The poster mentioned exercise as well

For many people eating less does not work.

Too bad then, this drug works by facilitating eating less

Actually the Korean government offered to indemnity Japan in the 1967 treaty but Japan refused, claiming that Japan did nothing wrong or illegal during its occupation of Korea. So the indemnification clause was left out due to the mistakes of Japanese negotiators and governments at that time and Japan is forever exposed to damages claims.

Well if SK didntt indemnify Japan then maybe victims have no choice but demand compensation from Japan directly .

Is there another option?

When IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi visited Japan and told that IAEA approved the way Fukushima water would be released to the ocean

Approved seems an inappropriate word.

Does the iaea have the authority to approve or stop the dumping?

Did the iaea even used the word?

Pity they can't dump wastewater from a ship it might have been better if tepco can use a large tanker to dilute the wastewater and dump it further into the sea

Of course Japan will try to just dismiss it as not applying to the situation as the dumping of nuclear waste is from a land structure instead of a sea vessel or structure

Anyway hopefully this will be tackled in the upcoming London convention meet

No doubt many people here believe testing sea water samples off Fukushima is proper monitoring of wastewater to be discharged.

Hilarious

Anyway what can this so called leader do?

If tepco is amenable to independent monitoring they would have set it up in the first place.
