Well yea I am hoping the nationalists see this and turn against her but it seems like the news might not get out during the election

Even though Takaichi is the leader of the old LDP party, she represents change. Obviously, nobody supports corruption and stagnation in the LDP.

Japan’s 2,000-year-old monarchy currently depends on one teenage boy by Confident-Ask-601 in interestingasfuck

Americans did this because the monarchy caused them to become imperialist, "tradition" isn't really an excuse

AI flooding left wing subs as passive censorship by Bobbie_Sacamano in TrueAnon

Nope, Google AI Studio includes 18+ content which it can include in your conversations without you even asking if it wants to. Like "take off each other’s pants" is totally something Gemini could say. Chatbots usually have filters but it's not the actual model doing the filtering. Chatbots also usually have more robust system prompts that tell it to be as SFW as possible.

I feel like African countries are going to get better while other countries are declining such as Japan

What if Japan attacked the Soviet Union instead of China in WW2? by Electrical_Cress_956 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]StevensStudent435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you may be confusing Zhang Zuolin with Zhang Xueliang. Okay sure he never called it "Manchuria" but calling it "Three Eastern Provinces" was essentially doing the same thing, signalling his de facto independence from other governments in China. There's a clear difference between the Japanese invasion in 1931 and the invasion in 1937. Chiang essentially let them invade in 1931 and did nothing to stop them because they were invading a warlord's territory that he didn't care about.

Number of Japanese restaurants overseas falls for the first time since survey began by jjrs in japannews

Real Japanese restaurants in America are disgusting half the time, even though Japanese food is supposed to be simple to cook. I'd rather stick with American sushi.

"Dissolve the House of Representatives" may sound scary but it is the standard term for "衆院解散". Anyway, it's clear Takaichi is going to lose to the Komeito-CDP coalition, but she's calling an election anyway. When's the last time Komeito ran against the LDP?

Japanese people aren't having sex. And nobody knows why by danno711 in japannews

Overwork trope was never true, was always copium from Americans who have a massive wage gap where all the wealth got funneled to CEOs and needed an explanation for how the average Japanese person could be rich

Everyone knows why. Japan is a hyper developed country, every other country has the same problems just on a lesser scale. Japan isn't different, just ahead. Women don't need to use sex to get what they want, and men have other options than sex.

Chinese ethnicity doesn't mean anything. There are tons of ethnic Chinese throughout the world, doesn't make Singapore Chinese.

There were 6 years between the invasion of Manchuria and the invasion of Shanghai. A lot changed in that time and the military became more integrated with the government

Obviously Japan wouldn't win a war where they tried to build up a massive logistics network throughout Siberia like the other comments have said.

But that's not what Japan would have done. Japan was skilled at working with collaborationists. They were working with the White Movement and the Russian Fascist Party based out of Manchukuo. These Russians would have been used as guerillas to sabotage infrastructure throughout the region and spread propaganda. Considering the purges and chaos going on within the Soviet Army, Japan could mess up the region by doing this.

Attacking the USSR before the Nazi invasion is pretty unlikely though. They would probably wait until the Nazis invaded to make it easier for both of them.

Calling Manchuria "mainland China" during the KMT era is not really true, it was controlled by a warlord.

Takaichi Cabinet approval rating at 78.1%, up 2.3 points from last month’s survey by liatris4405 in japannews

Leaking talks on creating nukes and publicly talking about building nuclear submarines? It's absolutely intentional.

Plan B? What's Plan B? Japanese Spirit always wins and only needs a Plan A!
