I wouldn't put a question mark at the end of your otherwise perfect observation, Cricky ;) We are all owned by our governments and it's time to let us be free. Have you ever tried to work in another country without proper credentials and not using a spouse visa to work your desired job? That's just one example of how we are being enslaved.

Cool. So after the attacker was shot 4 times, he was arrested at the scene for illegally carrying a knife and taken to the hospital. Nevertheless, a very rare occurrence in Japan I believe. I can hardly imagine the quarrel.

Believed to have fallen? It is or it isn't. How many more minutes away from reaching Japan coast? Is the defence system not working? Because I'd just set an example and take this missile out in the open.

Interesting. So while they where rescued, the ship was still travelling/drifting 18 miles. Not that it is impossible, just a huge distance to cover for a boat in distress.

Posted in: Americans don't think Trump is qualified. Why they elected him anyway See in context
Just reading the headline only instead of its content: It ain't Americans, it's mainly Japan. The author probably lives in Japan and has access to mainly anti-Trump news. Japan has the highest number of Hillary supporters in the world (right after China for other reasons) because of lack of English in order to be informed by American news sources as well. Japan also has the highest numbers of iPhone users in the world. And coincidentally, Apple is a Clinton supporter as well. Just saying, without being an expert. This new president is for the masses and not for the few globalist families that benefit from the current corrupt financial system. The market dropped and continues to drop for a little while as it is staged by the top "Crème de la Crème" whose wealth will drastically diminish throughout the next 4 years. There're so many other points that one can look into if one just keeps an open mind and knows how mass media is fabricated. Have you forgotten 9/11 and 3/11 already? Trump stated to pull companies out of China. Totally understandable and wise choice in my opinion. But again, am not an expert.
