Posted in: Japan hosts military symposium that U.S. hopes will help contain China See in context
*Around 70 PALS participants visited a naval base and army camp near Tokyo on Thursday to observe drills and inspect military equipment, including hovercraft and Osprey aircraft carrying troops. U.S. Forces in Japan also displayed a High Mobility Rocket System (HIMARS) similar to ones the Pentagon is supplying Ukraine to help it fight off Russian invasion forces that Moscow says are there on a "special operation."*
In the recent past the japan well-healed media used to propagate at how sinister the Ospreys were. Now, they don't propagate. Why? Because they realize that they need America more than ever so they've wisely decided to shut their collective mouths.

EVs are not the future. They never were. If you really want to protect the environment then think hydrogen powered vehicles. This short video succinctly describes electric vehicles more accurately.

Most likely will happen. True. And you know it.
A no-name politician makes a comment about a pseudo-taboo topic. Then another no-namer does the same, Then another and then another. It picks up speed then it's a political debate.
Then it''s on the nightly news for months on end.
Opposing political parties feign their best to show their 'opposition' to such audacity.
Ultimately it passes.
Japan should have implemeted taxes immediately after the war ended. If they had, we would be paying 5% instead of 8%.

I gave you a negative because what you wrote makes no sense and you're shouting with all your redundant posts on this thread.
Here are my first two comments as a refresher.
The first comment was an honest positive observation. In which a few people down voted which I thought was peculiar.
Then I made a second statement stating my bewilderment.
Randy JohnsonToday 03:26 pm JSTWow. Three years in a row. That is quite the accomplishment.
-Randy JohnsonToday 03:37 pm JST
OMG. Down vote for a positive observation?
Then I thought, ah, ny rangers fans aren't happy. Then the thread continued and that didn't seem to be the case then I thought, Ah, yes, we know how canadians are sensitive about hockey so, yeah, that was an observation which serms to be correct because...
To quote you:
North of the border, perhaps?
"Why would they be hurt? I'm sure most Canadians have made their pick for either team. I'm going with the Avs because I like their roster and the way they play. 50% of NHL rosters are Canadians anyway. Yeah...I'm sure they're hurt........."
Of which, that is factually incorrect in most of the nhl teams' cases.
Incidentally, Colorado's canadian roster is less than 50% and according to you, you picked them to win the Stanley Cup.

The Quebec comment was tongue in cheek.
Gotcha. Now I understand because the Quebec Nordiques in Quebec, Canada were an atrociously God awful team.
It makes sense that you have angst towards the Colorado Avalanche.
I remember the Avalanche vs Red Wing rivalry as you described.
It is frustrating from one's perspective.

Just because of the late 90's, early 2000's rivalry we had with the Avalanche. They're a great team, but I preferred Quebec, ha!
Sorry. In earnest, I don't understand.
Because they were the Nordiques?

Let's review.
In the beginning of the new covid vaccine hype, influential politicians ( joe biden, tony fauci ) and tv news folk said that the vaccine would prevent infection.
This is a fact. They said it. That is the bottom line. There are quotes of them saying it.
Censoring won't change this fact.

Wind power works in some places, but not all places.

Geothermal power works in some places. but not all places.
etc.
This is the reality folks.

In the joint press briefing, Lee said Singapore is a "staunch supporter" of international law and the U.N. Charter.
"On the situations in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, Singapore hopes that all parties will exercise restraint and maintain dialogue in order to preserve regional peace and stability," Lee said.
Lee is stuck between a rock and a hard place between china and japan for obvious reasons.
Singapore has so much going for it. I really miss living there. It's so much better than tokyo in multiple ways, except booze prices.
Anyhoo, good luck Lee. You're walking a tight rope.

There are several professional Golf Tours worldwide already (ie Japan Golf Tour). PGA is not a monopoly. Some players simply go where the money is especially if they are no longer in their prime.
I was just going to say those two things.
And might I add, the so-called defectors haven't been winning of late and or finishing high on the leaderboards on the PGA tour so they are making a last ditch effort to win some heafty money before they reach the senior tour.

"avoid going back to school until our elected leaders stop avoiding the crisis of gun violence""
This might actually work!! Future generations are being targeted and killed while sitting defenseless in schools, staying home is a much better place to be till lawmakers provide the motivations to go back to schools.
Fully agree. Take the kids out of the public school ststem. It will definitely benefit America considering the fact that American kids are getting bombarded by leftist indoctrination instead of actually learning the three Rs.
