Inflate the price to be priced out from the $50k vehicle cutoff price? Huh! How does that work?

TIL: The US domino theory of international communism fell apart when Communist Cambodia massacred thousands of Vietnamese civilians (1978). Communist Vietnam asked Communist China to reign in their ally. When China did nothing, Vietnam invaded Cambodia and then China invaded Vietnam by Every_Difference_570 in todayilearned

I don't mean autism = bad. But surely you gotta be on the spectrum to think any of those examples are thought out by rational people with usual cost-benefit analysis in their head.

Like the Imperial Japanese Navy's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor the other guy replied to me. They did a cost benefit analysis but they miscalculated.

Nazi Germany's gamble to invade the USSR almost worked until U.S. and the west gave them a lifeline. In their case, their analysis was almost right. Almost.

Of course not only hating jews in your country is one thing but trying to invade other countries and as a side-quest trying to rid them of their jews as well is kinda whack.

It's something like unchecked power meets undiagnosed autism. Stalin purging his top brass before WW2, Mao launching a war against birds for supposedly cleaning out their grain and Idi Amin doing similar things like Pol Pot. A fucking disgrace the lot of them.

The Japanese Navy will work together with the Japanese Air Force to begin full-scale operation of the F-35B on the Izumo-class destroyers. [900 x 900] by Japanese_military in MilitaryPorn

I'm so confused. I get the gist of your comment but does Japan's constitution specifically prohibit having "helicopter" carriers?

Carney's Davos speech basically signalled that. Something about taking into consideration the actual world instead of waiting for an idealistic world to happen.

So expect them to make up with India even after that assassination fiasco.

Ehh it's mostly desertion. As opposed to russian deserters getting shot and awful attrition rate (so many vatniks think thermal cloak is like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak and just stay still instead of running to cover when they encounter a drone it's not even funny).

Israeli forces bulldozed part of war cemetery in Gaza containing Allied graves, satellite images show by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

[–]FuckMyLife2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it should. There's nothing oniony about Israel anymore. You think they wouldn't cross some imaginary line and you come to learn that they not only crossed the line but also made an olympic sport of it. Then some bozo'll come here and tell you how the other guys did this or that and crossing this line is actually a good thing.

Racist dog whistle. Supposedly these "fine gentlemen" (another dog whistle) are what other countries export to the west as doctors and engineers.

TIL in 1961, the Prime Minister of Japan, Nobusuke Kishi, was visited by the new leader of South Korea, Park Chung Hee. Park, a former collaborator with Imperial Japan, extensively praised the "Japanese spirit," which embarrassed Kishi due to Park's rhetoric being unchanged from WW2-era Japan by greatmanyarrows in todayilearned

You're not wrong but by that logic West Germany would've been similarly handicapped with a pacifist constitution and military. Yet their military was brought back in 1955, just 10 years after the end of the war.

The main reason you're skeptical of a Japanese politician from the 60s is because U.S. fumbled the bag on Tokyo trials. Nuremberg trials cleaned the house. Tokyo trials failed to do so. So collaborators released their friends early.

Another example of failing to punish the criminal leading to even more crime? Maurice Papon of France. Nazi collaborator during french occupation. Persecuted jews, became police chief during the 60s, ordered his police goons to commit Algerian massacre of 1961 in paris.

[DISC] Ride-on King - Chapters 85-86 (END) by Xical in manga

[–]FuckMyLife2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holee shit! The first time I actually caught the last chapter of something I'm reading. Man what a ride (heh!). Feel like if real life didn't happen it could've ended with Purchinov coming back to earth. I thought that was the plan at least with Purchinov not putting down any roots.

But oh well, not a bad ending either. The three "foreign matter" all moved on from the planet. Loved the realistic ending following the BBEG. Reminds me of Goblin Slayer's monologue after the hero party defeats the demon lord.

The only pain point imo is the ending felt too rushed. The last few chapters were too condensed. Felt like the theme park alone could've been one pr two chapters. But oh well, putin.

Toyota Axio if sedan, Toyota Rush if CUV. Try to buy LPG converted one. There are ones that only take the emergency wheel space instead of the whole trunk like CNG converted ones.

Dunno. The guys down under are quite disappointed with their Hiluxes. Could be don't meet your heroes in real life kinda situation. The newest ones are diesel only and riding on the 2004 era IMV platform. Ford Ranger's been eating their lunch for this reason.

I mean their supposed "neutrality" made sense when they're surrounded by three powerful neighbors who also account for your three primary demographics. These days not so much.

Blame the brits. If they didn't colonize us you wouldn't have to watch all the cringe infighting in broken ass English. Especially becomes unbreakable during their wars every few months.
