so the Desperate whale industry has now resorted to treating whale meat as a novelty to attract young eaters. With mercury as a natural condiment in whale meat, the whale industry is doing its part in keeping Japan’s population in decline

With the impending return of Donald Trump as president, this trip becomes more important for the security of Japan and Korea. As exemplified by Trump’s recent statements to NATO members ending with the threat that “Putin can do anything he wants in Europe”, Korea and Japan must be prepared for astronomical increases in their defense budgets to be demanded by Trump. His threat will include the withdrawal of all US forces from Korea and Japan. To prepare for this, a north and south Asia mutual defense organization must be initiated . All democratic countries in the region must join a mutual defense treaty. This new entity must copartner with NATO in regional defense obligations. This whole process must begin with Japan showing contriteness over its shameful conduct decades ago.

Along with this mutual defense treaty, Asian member states must also convene a joint economic organization to avert dependence on Russian oil and China’s industrial trade.

If Japan is so self righteous about killing whales and dolphins for food consumption then why don’t they feed their school kids these endangered meats. Oh, it’s because of the high mercury content in these meats. Then the only justification is kill for the thrill of it.

It is time for China’s youth to rise up in a second cultural revolution to get rid of all the fat cats in the communist party. There is rampant corruption in the parties who claim to be for the people and the working cadre but at the same time are lining their pockets with bribes and payoffs. Take to the streets because your future is at stake.

This is the worst officiating of any international judo competition that I have seen. There have been outright missed calls, and wrong calls that have never been corrected upon review or protest. There must be an upgrade in standards to qualify for officiating international judo competition matches. The current situation is totally substandard, unacceptable and punishes judokas

unfairly.

It’s a no-brainer. Use self driving trucks and drones. It lessens the issues of labor shortages, labor disputes, intoxicated drivers, and drivers falling asleep.

Did I read this right? The Filipino sailors gave up their weapons when the perpetrators only had sticks and an ax? And why were they carrying weapons if they can’t use them? The order of battle has got to be reviewed by the Filipino chain of command

Honolulu is short of 400 to 600 police officers. Crime is rampant. More firearms are being used by perpetrators who drive miles to look for treasure among the unsuspecting victims in Waikiki. Street vendors and the homeless harass tourists. Tourists in Waikiki should not stay out later than 11 PM. When tourist drive to surf spots around the island there is a high likelihood that their cars will be broken into and their valuables stolen. Words to the wise.

How fortunate is it for Japan to have so many people applying for asylum when its Native population Is rapidly declining by leaps and bounds. It is a rigid (frigid?) bureaucratic policy that has caused, by one estimate, a situation where Japan might not exist in 50 years due to us declining population. Japan should allow the applicants who are denied asylum a special category were they can live in rural villages with declining populations and after a specific time will be allowed to apply for Japanese immigrant status. This will fulfill two major purposes which are to revitalize rural areas and increase Japan’s population

Why bother with the guy? Intelligence sources have verified that he ihas repeatedly told his inner circle that Japan will never get back its Northern territories. Quit pandering to this monster. He can’t travel to Japan anyway because he is on the wanted list of the international court of justice.

There is more to it than meets the eye. Pray tell, can someone fill us in with the rest of the story.

Russia and China are objecting to the Fukushima water release in the ocean primarily for political reasons, however, to placate these kibitzers Japan should do the following: it should release the water on the Senkaku Islands. It will create a new forestry industry for Japan. It can also form a coalition of EU countries and the west to create a multinational nuclear waste disposal site on the Senkakus. Japan’s reticence in acting like a sovereign owner over the Senkakus creates a chink in the armor that even Toranaga Shogun would find untenable. Like we say in the west “use it or lose it!”.

To placate Russia and China about releasing Fukushima water into the ocean, release the water on the Senkkaku islands. Japan can create a new forestry industry there. At the same time, instead of looking for nuclear waste Disposal sites On the main islands of

partner with the US and NATO countries, to create a multinational nuclear waste disposal site on the Senkaku Islands. If Japan owns those islands, it should act like a sovereign owner. Use it or lose it.

He self financed the film from production to release. Give the guy a break based on his past successes

Use it or lose it. The article brought up the Senkaku islands dispute. Instead of Japan looking for nuclear waste disposal sites on its main islands, it should partner up with the US, the European Union and other Allied countries looking for nuclear waste disposal sites and create a new multi nation disposal site in the Senkakus. Japan can also dispose of its stored water from the Fukushima nuclear plant in the same area of the islands. Why let a foreign power like China dictate how you use your own territory?

De ja vu. Say what?…. Didn’t we see a movie with the same plot two or three years ago? Is this a review of that movie that was previously released?

Putin has told his foreign minister, Lazarov many times that Japan will never get back It’s northern territories. He is exploiting Japanese foreign policy and intends to build more Russian military bases on the illegally seized Lands.

The longer Putin extends the invasion of Ukraine, the sooner it will be for Austria, Malta, Ireland and Cypress to apply for membership in NATO. Greed conquers all and Putin is a mundane example of an avaricial despot who will soon lose all his power and ill-gotten wealth. Only Donald Trump can save him or vice versa.

Seriously? Can India be trusted? They get their oil and weapons from Russia. They disregard all of the international sanctions against Russia for attacking Ukraine. When push comes to shove, they will always side with Russia over Japan. They will need Putin to placate China over the border disputes that are becoming more frequent. Japan cannot offer India, anything, except the appearance of friendship and cooperation

The price for Fukushima scallops in America is unchanged. It is $26 a pound or higher in retail markets.

Ito has taken the offensive. Sue the hell out of his accusers to scare them into dropping the charges. These women probably have no significant assets to be scared by this tactic. He could face the music in court or he could do what a famous NBA player did when accused of rape. In that case he bought the victim off and the case was dropped by the complainant.

Not even a word of apology, or an act of contrition from these Zaibatsu conglomerates who are hiding behind a treaty. Show some humanity or these protests will never die.

Greed conquers all. It started with a few southern senators who insisted on building the Osprey in their home state. Aviators and aircraft designers opposed the building of the Osprey due to foreseeable deficiencies and design flaws. So aircrews who lost their lives in Osprey crashes are paying the price for political greed.

Greed conquers all. Never patronize an establishment where touts are outside hustling victims. If the food is good, you will see a long line of waiting customers

Late breaking news!!!

Car bumper stickers proliferating in red states:

TRUMP/PUTIN 2024

Trump has selected his vice presidential running mate for 2024. He will help Putin become a naturalized citizen and change the laws to allow Putin to be the vice president of the United States. He has also tapped Rudy Giuliani to be Secretary of State. Tommy Tuberville was asked to be Secretary of Defense.

Total incompetence. Looks like no one inspected the valves for days and there were probably no monitoring cameras or sensors. Tepco should let Boeing take over the decommissioning and clean up. At least they could do a better job.

Japan exacerbates the situation by declining to exercise its territorial rights to the island. It could, for example, establish a WeatherStation on the Island. It could even release its Fukushima water discharges on the island to encourage flora and fauna development which could lead to commercial agriculture endeavors. In other words act like you own the Island which you claim. Use it or lose it and you don’t blame China to see the opportunity in the face of a reticent government that hesitates to act like an owner

No problem Taylor. Just do a commercial plug for US Air Force recruiting and the Air Force will accommodate you by letting you park your jet at Nellis Air Force base. You can do a great version of “the Air Force Blues”.

Greed conquers all
