"Aha, will prosper like Venezuela. Rich in oil fields, but without toilet papers anywhere to be seen, or used..."

"Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States!" -- Mexican President Porfirio Diaz

Flexible, smart leader. Glad Abe didn't join the western countries antagonizing him.

they don't, this isn't a Japanese site

He's actually very smart, by this way he actually de-escalates the tension and effectively stoping further Chinese land building in that sea (unless China is very very stupid), which America Japan, and the entire ASEAN couldn't whatsoever. moreover, I can see he will get a handsome amount of financial aids from China

but but whales are more important

Syria is the biggest tragedy in this century. so many people die, suffer, and lose their home because of America can't deal with the fact that its world policing are in check by another power. This isn't even about oil, as the country doesn't have any. this is America/west can't swallow its pride. I hope Clinton pull it out when she takes office, damn even Trump would make sane decision than the current administration. Let the Russians have that country, at least the people will have peace.

oem pc market is dead, everyone has been spinning it off.

no, america/russia/saudi should stop creating anymore refugees and so they can start rebuilding their home

"Do we need any more proof how little the world respects Obama, one of the weakest presidents to ever be elected president of the U.S.?"

Well at least he isn't WANTED. I'm sure Dick Cheney will enjoy his life in his country for the rest of life without having to travel abroad.

he should save some time and protest at his country's cow slaughter house

"No, that would be an act of war"

technically the war hasn't ended, this is why the dmz is the most heavily fortified border in the world

"the price of no immigrants to Japan"

calling it a price implying japan is forced to pay which isn't true, they could sit out like china, or even the gulf states are doing

eventually they will have both the warheads and missiles, and it wont be too long until that. the sanctions have not worked in a bit other than push the normal nk people into misery

what makes dolphins any different to millions cows, pigs that get butchered every year? are they not life?

why are ppl feasting animal meat acting like they were on some moral high ground because others prefer a different kind of meat

"Sorry. As an audio snob, no way I am listening to music over bluetooth."

well its not like mp3 offered some hardcore fidelity quality either. its crap, in fact

grown a** politician swearing like a 15 yo kid, is he really stupid or is he clever at abusing the democracy? either way, he's made 'democracy' a joke, just as trump is trying to.

the Australian goverment needs to step out and stop these environment terrorists before they cause more harm

that's a good gesture from japanese and especially korean goverments, the latter used to refuse any kind of reconciliations which was very childish. its time to move on and face the future challenges together.

"NHK is now nothing more than the Japanese equivalent of China's state TV."

still have more credibility than fox news and cnn.

when will these clowns realize their cause is an act of terrorism that can seriusly get people hurt, in fact, people already died in their self righteous 'battle'.

he's pretty young isn't it ... I think he is ready to do something great, even Andy Murray starts winning

Actually the average Chinese are very friendly to foreign people, including Japanese. they are generally pretty oblivious to the propaganda.

They are very sensitive people however when it comes to things like national pride, an international incident which would cause protests in other counties would easily turn into a riot in China.

can’t blame them thought, if you were in their shoes.

he's a) a putin's trojan to advance russian interests b) a chinese tool to make a mock of western democracy c) a clintons' plant d) he really wants to quit now. he wasn't serious in the first place, but he didn't know this country actually had this many idiots

in any sense, he's doing a brilliant job telling what a joke of country america has become now

unfortunately, china can not deterred by anything within the current international law frameworks. they have become very good at this bullying and seizing, rince and repeat strategy. however, an actual war is not what they are looking after, even an ensuing sanction would destroy their economy.

the russians are also practicing the same strategy in east europe, strange days we live in. its not a war, but its not exactly the cold war either.

as lousy as he is, he does have a point. and the world wouldn't mind a pre ww2 america, which is happening anyway regardless who wins this election, the post ww2 and coldwar dividends that america has been enjoying have been largely spent up. its a logical move to think about your next step for next couple decades.

McD is usually the go to food when you go to a third world country, especially given Brasil is plagued by the Zika virus. I had a whole month of McD when I was sent to India to work. It was awful but beat diarrhea or having even more nasty illness

So they endorsed him and now they don't really 'kind of' do that? This party has been having a massive identity crisis. Forget about Trump, he's chance of winning is going down every time as his mouth opens. Its time to sit down and think about a party reform to have a clear vision that works in the modern world. Adapt or die, the history teaches this lesson repeatedly.

Good move. those opening shows have always been waste of money and time

this 'coup' looks more and more like Erdogan's political device to grab powers and establish full dictatorship

so the republicans had no problem getting preached by a woman with a strong eastern europe accent and a blatant plagerism, and her husband vows everyday to deport the arab and mexcian immigrants. lol, what a joke
