    The Japanese government is currently trying to deal with food shortages from a stupid agricultural policy that has sent the price up rice up 300%. Meanwhile, the US is busy blowing up its own economy while China dog walks Trump over tariffs, and on the military side, the US inventory is so depleted from Israel and Ukraine that they would run out of munitions within the first week of any actual shooting war.

    Imagine being Japanese right now and finding out your beautiful country is being transformed into a punching bag.

      if they didn’t learn it back when the plaza accords were signed, they won’t learn it now. Countries occupied by the US are simply pawns.

        I wasn’t referring to Dimitri (who does great stuff and lots of activism) but to what John Helmer said. Just incase it’s TLDW for any one he basically predicts that Trump has no intention on ending the war in Ukraine and instead will try to bait Russia into extending the conflict into a direct war with Europe. This will force the Europeans to buy American weapons, and use them to go to war with Russia destroy them, and allow the United States to focus all their efforts on starting a war with China. This at least is the plan of the one homelander looking CIA mother fucker, and the other smug one.

        I hate these political psychos with a burning passion……
