"Taiwan had secret elite unit to destroy Japan lighthouse on the Senkaku Islands"

"Diayu Island is 410 km to Japan. Diayu is 330 km from China. Besides being 80 km nearer to China,"

Yer wrong!

Yonaguni (Japan) is 150 Km from the Senkakus.

Your "maths" need reviewing.

"Imagine if your race was nearly wiped off planet Earth."

Are you referring to Koreans???

Hope NOT!

"Both Russia and China have already had astronauts on the moon !"

WHEN?!

Btw, I've just come back from Itokawa.

"accused Japan's soccer association "

There's NO such THING!

JFA = Japan FOOTBALL Association.

Simples.

"Russia has repeatedly attacked civilian infrastructure far from the front lines,"

Machiavellianism at work!

Ukraine started it by bombing the Kersh Bridge, a civilian infrastructure they had been warned NOT to target.

The US most certainly blew up the Nord Stram Pipes!

Were those two legitimate military targets?!

How could Russia launch ANY missiles anyway???

We've been told ad nauseam by the Us and the British (Un) intelligence Service(s) that Russia ran out of missiles in March, 2022!

Let's try honesty for once.

"You're a refuge the I stand that you leave the country at war. BY DEFINITION."

I am gonna give you one last, LAST shot!!!!

"The definition of a refugee according to The 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees is:

“A person who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.”

"https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/information/refugee-asylum-facts/the-truth-about-asylum/"

If you meet the Convention definition (plus criteria) and a particular Government recognises your APPLICATION then, ONLY THEN, you'll become a REFUGEE!"!!!!!!

Please, STOP trying to teach me Law.

You're not qualified, you CAN'T.

Adieu.

"The definition of a refugee is someone who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war and persecution."

OK!

For the last time:

You read parts instead of the whole and think you KNOW.

The Convention must be applicable under UK (or any other country's) Law. Whatever the Convention says it must be incorporated into UK law. Their definition is their definition. And you painstakingly read a de minimis part of it!

This is something you DON'T KNOW.

"In the UK, a person becomes a refugee when government agrees that an individual who has applied for asylum meets the definition in the Refugee Convention they will ‘recognise’ that person as a refugee and issue them with refugee status documentation. Usually refugees in the UK are given five years’ leave to remain as a refugee. They must then must apply for further leave, although their status as a refugee is not limited to five years."

AND

"Person seeking asylum

A person who has left their country of origin and formally applied for asylum in another country but whose application has not yet been concluded."

Note: The second paragraph is wokness at play.

"https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/information/refugee-asylum-facts/the-truth-about-asylum/"

I was going to send Legislation but don't want to waste my time.

"I also have a big diploma and PHD. Do you want to measure which one has it bigger?"

A diploma in Astrophysics of Quantum Computing is irrelevant.

This is Legal, beyond your Cosmic qualifications.

Nothing to do with my daddy can beat yours.

Have a good day.

"You made it clear that a migrant only can become refugee when loses the war."

Man, your understanding is simply appalling!

"And, the wildest of all, you are no refugee until a country accepts your application."

Bingo!

The only "right" thing you've managed so far.

A refugee is one whose asylum application has been successfully processed.

UNHCR

(I'll understand if you don't understand much of what's there anyway)

Not your fault.

"And, the wildest of all"

Not wildest at all; have you been paying attention?

I have a "Legum Baccalaureus", plus an LPC.

I must have learned something for the UK educational system to print my name on the respective certificates.

Don't yer fink so?!

"You got your facts wrong.

Much of this immigration happened from 1868 ~ 1912

During the, so called, Second Sino-Japanese War. Looking into it, I found out Japan has more refugees history than any other country in the world.

No, "mate".

You're wrong, know it very well, yet pretend otherwise!

I happen to know quite a bit of history too.

"Much of this immigration happened from 1868 ~ 1912

There were NO waves of Japanese asylum seekers after the first Sino-Japanese War or in the aftermath of the Russo-Japanese conflict."

Your ridiculous proposition would have us believe that the citizens of a victorious Nation would become refugees straight after winning two Wars on the trot!!!

I have read "submissions" that the Japanese back then were "economic migrants".

There were NOT.

"During the, so called, Second Sino-Japanese War. Looking into it, I found out Japan has more refugees "

During the second Sino-Japanese war, Japan was beating on the Chinese like there's no tomorrow. Thus there was no need for Japanese to become "refugees"!

Eventually Japan lost the war (not to China), and many left the country.

They were called IMMIGRANTS.

N.B.

You would have to kiss goodbye to 250 quid plus VAT for this little piece of free advice:

A refugee is a successful asylum seeker. You must apply for it.

Definitions already exist and have a clear purpose.

Pointless trying to reinvent the wheel.

Give up man. You simply don't know much about the subject under consideration.

With all due respect.

"Look up in the dictionary, a refuge is a immigrant escaping from a warlike conflict."

You don't know the definition of either; study Law; you need it badly.

I graduated with an LLB.

"Look up in the history books. Japan was heavily involved in a war called World War 2."

Follow your own advice; check the history books.

Properly this time!

WW2 ended in 1945!!!!

Japanese immigrants arrived in the US in the later part of 1800's

They arrived in Brazil circa 1908. Again, as immigrant's.

All those who left Japan after WW2 were IMMIGRANTS!!!

To sum up:

Don't debate Legal definitions as you're not fit to do so.

Study more history, as you're lost here too.

"Immigrants escaping from war are called refugees, ain't they?!"

No!

Those are Legal Terms that are well-defined, and NOT open to your "interpretation".

Do you think that Manslaughter and Murder are the same?!

The end result is necessarily a body, isn't it?

Btw, from which war were the Japanese running away?

Are you for real?

"What were they?

I'm very interested in knowing your version of history.

I'm pretty sure you have learned a different history at school."

Not "my version"; instead try the version you apparently don't know.

They were IMMIGRANTS.

There's a huge DIFFERENCE between immigrants and asylum seekers.

Distinct Legal terminology.

Some seem to think they're interchangeable!!!!

"During the WW2 there was a masive exodus of Japanese asylum seekers in Brazil, United States and the Philippines mostly.

And I believe it was much harder to help refugees back then."

A piece of advice:

If you're purporting to "lecture/teach" please learn proper history first and foremost. Then dish out.

They were NOT asylum seekers!

And yes, I KNOW that history.

Thank you in advance.

"It a TWO - WAY Street, Japanese citizens are accepted and welcomed in the very same nations that Japan is abusing, this can't go on."

Japanese asylum seekers!!!!

WHERE?????

Thank you.

"180,000 dead Ruskies and more to come"

Just out of curiosity:

How many Ukrainians troops have died so far?

I have a sneaky suspicion that not ALL Ukrainian dead are civilians.

At least 1 must have been in fatigues!

"New history mate. Ukraine, Finland and Sweden."

I know, I know.

Chickens will have teeth.

And pigs might fly.

It takes about 3 minutes for a US nuclear missile to reach Moscow from the the Ukraine border.

Get real, please.

Read history, skip fantasy.

"Yes they will. Along with Sweden and Finland."

Maybe you ought to revise your history; just a bit will do you a power of good.

Sweden and Finland yes.

Ukraine?

NOPE.

History and geopolitics; that's all you need.

"If they were really seriously devoted to protecting Ukraine then why haven't they made Ukraine a NATO member ?"

Ukraine will NOT become a NATO member ever.

What would the US of A do if Russian troops and missiles were placed on the Canadian border?

Or in Mexico?!

We know (well, not all as it's evident by the comments here) how the US of A reacted in Cuba and in Grenada, don't we?

The US is not stupid enough to wanting to start a nuclear war no one will win.

Not even the US of A is that STUPID.

Since March 2022 we've been told by US & British (un)intelligence that the Russians run out of missiles.

And troops!

Were we, (or were we not) TOLD bluntly this was the case????

"Nothing works in Japan anymore. Not economically. "

Oh, really?!

"Most developed nations have had free childcare and maternity for decades. Why is it so hard for Japan!?"

Oh, REALLY???

Come to the UK then; you'll be doing a Morris dancing and singing a different tune in no time at all!

You'll be handing over most of your monthly income (almost all of it) to a nanny!

"Oh. I suppose Japan doesn't like it when others do what they do."

Lemme see:

A) Japan starts requiring negative COVID tests for travellers from China

B) China suspends issuance of visas for Japanese citizens

For the less erudite (like moi) please EXPLAIN the equivalence between:

Requirement for a NEGATIVE COVID TEST (for ALL) versus Visa SUSPENSION (for SPECIFIC specimens)

How are the two issues coequal?!

Thanks in advance.

"I saw video of this and the robot was moving at a slow walking pace….I’ve never seen a Japanese postman going at less than a jog. No way could it ever keep up enough to be useful."

How difficult do you think it is for anyone to check your "claim"?

It's 2023, yer no!

"Delivery robots tested in Tokyo"

"The debt level of Japan with the World bank is the highest "

The debt level of Japan with the BANK OF JAPAN is the highest....

Fixed it for you!

"Japan finds itself decades behind North Korea and China on missile technology"

I beg to differ.

A country capable of sending a probe all the way to Ryugu, collecting samples, and returning it to Earth, is most DEFINITELY capable of landing a missile (or two) anywhere inside this Planet!

"Good for you, Tom. What do you dispute in the LiveUA map?"

And what don't to understand about my "issue" with the statement under quotation?!

"Peeping Tom - light blue is the limit of Russian advances, dark pink is Ukrainian territory currently held by Russia, light pink is Russian territory currently held by Russia."

And?!

The issue is (I remind you):

 "driving Russian forces from more than half the territory they seized."

Not about "coloured" maps, that show absolutely no evidence to validate the "claim".

"Ukraine has fought back with Western military support, driving Russian forces from more than half the territory they seized."

"more than half the territory they seized"

Who writes this type of cf lies?!

"You know what they say about stats."

And the alternative is......?!

Thank you.
