Canada is infested with ChiComs and drug-running South Asians. Since it can't fix itself, Trump admin is right to hit them hard (and hopefully teach them a meaningful lesson).

Posted in: Top court turns down Okinawa's last appeal over U.S. base landfill See in context
In case anyone forgot, the modified plan was needed because the Japanese government failed to properly survey the seabed, and found a very soft section where reclaiming land would be impossible without driving piles into the section down nearly 100 metres to the solid seabed. This gave Okinawa prefecture another opportunity to oppose the previously approved plan.

Posted in: South Korea's Yoon refuses questioning again See in context
Yoon's stance during this crisis has mixed merits. His foreign policy might strengthen international relationships, but domestically, his actions have led to significant political and economic turmoil. His reversal of the martial law declaration shows responsiveness to democratic processes, yet it also highlights the contentious nature of his leadership style. The ongoing legal and political battles highlight the deep divisions within South Korea, with Yoon's decisions at the center of this crisis.

I have very fews fears about living in Japan; but your worst nightmare would be being arrested for something you didn't do. Japan doesn't have a modern, functioning legal system. You're guilty once arrested, and screwed.
This. I have been accused of crimes I did not commit. I was able to explain things satisfactorily to the police. Acquaintances have not been so lucky. Detained 23 days on BS charges. Loss of work. No apology or acknowledgment of error.

The media says that had a massive water reservoir been online, it wouldn't have made much difference to LA firefighters. It actually would have made a massive difference. And now a whistleblower has come forward to say the reservoir should never have been drained in the first place.
