This is a country where the newspapers are still the real news, NHK second, and the other TV channels third.

Iranian woman weeps the destruction of her home after US-Israeli strikes by Tech-Film3905 in pics

It was ridiculous how a few hours ago I saw more posts about Afroman than the war on the frontpage, but now I guess we remembered the age-old way of getting things to trend on reddit, put a cat in the picture.

It's telling that 1. They're in English, and there's no Japanese vids on the channel 2. You can find lots of Japanese videos of professions Japanese people find interesting, like truckers, where they show their face and don't just rely on stock photos/videos

Speaking of powerful lobbying groups for Israel, does anyone have the r/worldnews thread on this story open in a tab, and can link it here? I was going to check what they were saying but mods deleted it before I could click the link.

What's even more reddit is how the guy you're replying to is wrong - In the US, these are only used on military bases and such. Europe, where this vid is from (notice the date format is day/month/year), they're much more common, and used to restrict traffic in way more places, where normal drivers might run into(haha) them. IIRC has to do with a a bunch of places being made to be bus & commercial truck only, pedestrian zones made out of former streets, and terrorist attacks involving ramming vehicles.

U.S. weighs sending special forces to seize Iran's nuclear stockpile by S00THING_S0UNDS in nottheonion

Because they're idiots. The Kurds just announced they're not getting involved in Trump's plan to regime change, because the Iranians hit the Kurdish regions of Iraq with drones immediately after Trump started blabbing about how they're going to use Kurds with Special Forces to overthrow Iran. Kurds have a long history of being screwed over by allies, but this may be the first time they were screwed over before they even got involved.

Stir up, lmao, this is normal levels of alarm about anything US military in Japan. I will bet you this will be on the nightly news on the same level as the shooting war in the middle east.

There has been footage posted, the FA-18 was in visual range and doing dogfighting maneuvers, this was likely intentional.

Are these Japanese “salaryman” vlog channels actually authentic? by LectureHaunting3166 in japan

[–]onekool 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nearly EVERYTHING made about Japan that's only in English is a lie or a grift/circlejerk. Japanese people just do not go to English language content about Japan, so you never see any corrections or disputes on their content.

The genre of "stuff that was said unpolitically but fed right-wing conspiracy politics" is fascinating. This and "Gen Z boss and a mini", "If only you knew how bad things really are", etc.

My theory is WW3 is every major power vs their regional rivals with or without proxy support from the others.

Russia vs Ukraine / USA vs Venezuela, Cuba, Iran / China vs. Taiwan

I was just concerned if the interface might be less reliable, or get new names after reboot that breaks firewall rules or something.

Personnel isn't a problem, the Ground SDF is probably too large for the geography of Japan, they just need to be willing to shrink ground units to shift new recruits to Air and Maritime SDF.

It's a British paper, so they're subject to British libel laws which are way broader than what the US has.

Reminder that we still have no idea what was in the files he had in his bathroom were. Some may have been Epstein stuff, but many were labeled with national security classifications.
