We don't know for sure but the chances are they are living in a house on land that was taken from the rightful owners. They didn't deserve to die but also don't deserve too much sympathy either.
They don’t deserve any sympathy because of a completely baseless scenario you made up? Gotcha

When progressives say “nuanced” it’s actually a dogwhistle for our ideology is wrong but we can’t admit it.
The people who are against men punching women aren’t far right, they are right.
So men can have vaginas now? Interesting to see how conservatives have completely changed their tune

The rules in boxing are simple and based on science.
If you carry the Y chromosome, you can not compete against girls.
Human females do not carry the Y chromosome, as defined by science and biology.
Woke has hit a brick wall called reality.
Men hitting women is not a sport and it's not fun to watch.
The IOC has no such ‘Y’ chromosome rule

Imane Khelif has swyer syndrome and has Y chromosome, so a match with people who posses XX chromosome wouldn't be a fair fight.
This hasn’t been proven by the way. It’s been claimed by one person with 0 evidence to support it

The irony of USA military service people repeating over and over again that Japan is not an occupied nation.
Do you think that having foreign military service members in your country makes you occupied?
So according to you The U.S. would be occupied by Germany because the German Armed Forces Command is located in Reston Virginia, correct?

What causes cracks in the Osprey's gears in the first place? Apparently, it's because of the excessive load that is the structure of the Osprey.
In other words, Ospreys are mechanically defective by nature from the very beginning, I assume.
If this was the case, then wouldn’t logic dictate that all ospreys would have this problem? Again, using your logic this is the natural result of the osprey itself so more should be having this issue, no?

Posted in: Japan Osprey crash caused by cracks in gear and pilot’s decision to keep flying, Air Force says See in context
Why does the USA still have Ospreys flying over Japan? Why does it still occupy Japan? Blows my mind.
What occupation? Do you understand what the word occupation means? If you understand what it means, why are you using it incorrectly? If you don’t understand what it means, why are you using it?
Don’t worry, I’ll educate you: U.S. military bases in Japan are located under the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty. If Japan wants to unilaterally remove U.S. military bases, it must abrogate this treaty. It is stated that both countries can abrogate the treaty at any time, and if abrogation is declared, it will cease to be effective after one year.
Now can you please explain to me how anything I just posted regarding the relationship between the U.S. and Japan is an “occupation”?

That's a finding indicating serious and unacceptable problems. Both a mechanical fault and flagrant human error.
The planes and their pilots need to be grounded and the manufacturing issue and training must be overhauled before it ever flies again.
There’s no indication in the article that the damaged gear was a result of a manufacturing issue

In what regard? Definitely not in military capability. If you’re talking about the number of active duty soldiers then that’s pretty irrelevant considering they’d have to pass through 3 countries to reach Israel, all three of which would definitely not permit that

"Around 140,000 lives were lost to the Hiroshima bombing, and around 70,000 of them are still unidentified...For their sake, atomic bomb survivors and people the world over must take action to eliminate nuclear arms," Harada said.
The dawn of nuclear arms has resulted in a lasting relative peace that the world had never seen before. The threat of nuclear annihilation has done more to stay the hands of warmongers than any other factor. This may be a depressing fact but it is a fact nonetheless

Hold on. You are comparing a civil war that lasted decades to an illegal invasion of a sovereign country based on a load of hooey presented to the United Nations?
Both were invasions of territory. By any metric you deem the invasion of Iraq illegal can also be applied to the CCP’s invasion of the legally recognized government of the ROC

Yes. The CCP’s expansion during the Chinese civil war across all of Chinese territory. The only difference is the CCP killed way more than the US killed in Iraq

There is no world where the US goes away and peace reigns. You have two choices if the U.S. goes away: Russia takes its place or China takes its place. It’s evident that either of those choices is infinitely worse than a U.S. dominated world
