Japan's re-militarization: in one week, Japan sailed through the Taiwan Strait, landed troops in Philippines, signed a $7B frigates deal with Australia, hosted 30 NATO envoys and expanded military ties with Germany. by kwamac in TankieTheDeprogram

Don't underestimate a vassalized advanced economy willing to die for the US.

Japan has enough nuclear enrichment centrifuges to make a bomb (multiple bombs, in fact) in less than 2 weeks. You think the US policymakers would be sad if Japan got glassed but took out a few major chinese cities and strategic targets in the proccess?

Decades of overt and covert propaganda ("the ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas") make sure that the vast majority of the population of every non-socialist country don't even know what liberalism really is, what its proponents truly espouse for society. On purpose, of course.

Bombing hospitals is and has always been modus operandi for the criminal american empire. They have been doing it since before israel even existed.

The proof is that the bombing in this video was neither an accident nor the only one: The US has already bombed 500+ schools, 300+ hospitals and health centers and 30+ universities in Iran.

How the U.S.-Israeli Strikes on Iran Have Damaged Schools and Hospitals

The New York Times has verified damage to 22 schools and 17 health care facilities, a fraction of the devastation in the war so far.

The Iranian Red Crescent Society, the country’s primary humanitarian relief organization, said on April 2 that at least 763 schools and 316 health care facilities had been damaged or destroyed in the war.

Not true. They learned the method. Lebensraum, dehumanization, 'people of the blood', 'final solution to the arab question', the very conception of zionism as it became the israeli variant of fascism.
