It's an absurd piece .

Desperados will commercialize anything to make a name for themselves or profit in some way.

Hachiko as symbol should not be exploited in such pedestrian ways !!

Japan criticizes Russian ban on its seafood overg release of treated radioactive water

Is 'OVERG' even a word?

After Chernobyl Russia has pretty good idea about what radioactive damage is about.

They are being smart.

Japan Inc could have dug into some mountains and placed the waste deep in the ground in secure barrels,

In light of the big concern @ the environment, it is shocking International Bodies ok'd

this massive contamination of our oceans.

.

Not surpised !

Kishida has been a bit of a a 'fairy-tale' PM since he tool ofice.

Dreaming of a utopian world - not connected to 'real politik'

Except with Asian geo-politics it's not 3 cuddly bears he's dealing with - but an intransigent dragon with a real fire breath.

Good luck.

Bronco: He showed the whole world that it's possible to take a stand against the machine and win.

Absolutely. Now, one year later, 'the narrative' has changed.

Djokovic's principled strength of character is equaled only by his prowess on the courts.

Way to go!

.

He and Megan have made this negative energy their life.

Harrys got to let it go, get a life and move on.

Nobody is interested.

.

Abe - intelligent, elegant, cosmopolitan, well nuanced in international affairs - gave Japan a truly credible, geopolitical & cultural presence .

He did not use his privileged position to profit himself, but worked unreservedly for Japan to be economically strong, politically stable, peace loving nation with a distinct invaluable cultural heritage.

J-technology once again demonstrates its cutting edge superiority, with this high quality, viable, practical, cost-efficient storage battery system that offers consistent source of energy. for every-day living.

this repulsive 'mascot' ai a reflection of the dissolution of Japanese identity.

@William Bjornson

.

Amen !

..

BIG DEAL - he has no choice now, really - sp, he has to put up some defense (with the few millions he has left now).

So many international assets frozen - and there is NOWHERE to escape to any more.

Besides, he's had since 2018 to make his case.

If he had a solid defense he would not have escaped - thereby putting at least 7 other ( Innocent) people in jeopardy with the law.

2 years in France for the wedding and corruption, extradite to Holland for 2 yrs inside for the apartment scam, then on to Japan. 2 years for skipping bail, and 7 years for corruption. His wife, 5 years in the US prison for money laundering and His son in USA, who took $20million to 3 years inside . Plus fines and asset freezes for all.

.

Sounds like the road map.

Gonna cost Ghosn his chandeliers et al.

.

Semper Fi,it was ex US service person, that help spring him from Japan

Indeed- Michael Taylor -brilliant operative. Helped many others in. exigent life threatening situations

However - he did it believing Ghosn was innocent

Ghosn never thanked him.

Not a word.

NADA

Got his 1 million and Arrivederci

Now Taylor and is son are doing prison time.

Kelly (Ghosn associate) got a suspended sentence ( mercifully)

The pilots and airline staff involved with his escape are doing time in Tukey prisons.

.

France would not indict over a frivolous misuse of funds-

France has indisputable evidence of serious financial malfeasance on Ghosn's part

They froze all Ghosn's assets long ago.

He is running out of money - consider inflation rate in Lebanon is over 200% and their money is worth nothing.

.

the noose is tightening.

.

TokyoJoe : So we are paying for them through our taxes?

.

It's a rhetorical question !

.

Cute kid.

Being heir apparent - must put immense pressure on him.

@ TrevorPeace  They could be anybody, in this photo

True .Somehow strangely, it was/is the Empress Consort Michiko who quintessentially embodied the graciousness and elegance of royalty .

.

@ Martimurano: Today's world leaders should follow their example of strong determined leadership, standing up to the bullying brutal dictators

And enumerate, - please - how exactly are G 10 democracies headed by the likes of Biden, Macron, Trudeau, Boris Johnson, Scott Morrison *et al *** **

"showing strong determined leadership standing up to the bullying brutal dictators" ?

.

The cowardly "escape" from justice proves his "reputation"

.

At least 5 people are sitting in prison because of him (in Japan & Turkey)

.

Ghosn is a carpetbagger

.

And JT dignifies this callous self-serving narcissist !

.

.

Perhaps professor Kohki needs to move our of the characteristic Japanese xenophobic obsessions to gain a wider view on matter pertaining to human rights

.

The UN can start with the obvious 'biggies' - like China and Russia - when applying their principles on humans rights and dentation issues'

.

.

infantile

.

.

They had to run a study to come up with this ! ?

.

.

Aso ????? What can one expect !

No two neurons firing .

.

'

They needed a study for that ?

.

.

In the same period of time, more people will have died from hunger, despair and suicide than from the corona disease.

Disposing radioactive water into the sea is categorically insane.

{There are better ways to dispose of it - that will cost more, true- but which are environmentally safer.}

Radioactive water will destroy sea life, as well as the sea eco-system, and will translate into the weather system thru evaporation winds/ clouds/ rain .

This short-term "solution" will have broad ranging devastating effect that will impact peoples and eco-systems around the whole world for generations to come.

Smarten up Japan !!!!

.

A great breakthrough for Japan !.

This information is not new.

The neuroscience on how hand writing enhances the growth and function of neuropathways and electrochemical transmission has bee around for over some 3 decades.

Diverse US and European studies show that hand writing supports the development of circuits in the brains cerebral cortex producing higher process thinking : and other functions, such as:

more fluid transfer of knowledge; critical analysis ; delay of immediate gratification ; memory retention; activating information stored in memory - artistically, technically, etc.

Game of chess, anyone?

Talk about trivializing a serious issue.

.

True. how absolutely banal. . . .though

this fixation on these caricatures reflect the immature & superficial dimension of the modern J mind, IMO

Gaijinland These two were morons. Goshn got the last laugh....

Taylor did it out of a compassionate sense of justice.

He is no a moron. He is a Green Beret.

But - Ghosn's narrative is not over - - - -yet.

I doubt he is laughing now - certainly he will not be laughing at the end of the play

.

.

. but regardless of if he’s a scumbag or not, he never would have received a fair trial in Japan

.

Well, who ever said life - or the justice system - is ever fair . . anyplace in the world !!!???
