The Soviets were about to invade the Japanese empire when the US dropped the atomic bombs. They did this just to prevent Japan from falling in USSR’s sphere of influence.

However, you might still be thankful as South Korea likely wouldn’t exist otherwise, being instead merely the agrarian South of a juche unified Korea.

But what about “seconhand smoke”, if I may call it that?

You’d be surprised at the mental gymnastics they can pull off.

If the new country refuses to assume the debt, creditors can hesitate to lend to it because they can expect that the same thing can happen again. It depends on their perception of the new government, or of its new constitution and laws.

The days of the US empire are over; and now begins the age of a new Chinese empire.

How is that going to protect us from the US?

Yea how does this even make economic sense?

Some parts of Japan, such as Hokkaido, can be considered to be colonized as its native people are the Ainus, not the Yamato people (the Japanese ethnicity).

The Yamato themselves didn’t didn’t exist for 40’000 years. It was during the 4th century BC to the 7th century CE that their main ancestors, the Yayoi and the Toraijin, migrated to Japan and displacd the Joumon people to the North. The latter had been in Japan for a much longer time.

The US is the one that has all the cards but it’s the EU that’s unfair? How does that work?

Thank you for your insightful reply.

I also found this: https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/analysis/trumps-politicization-of-the-u-s-marshals-service-is-a-threat-to-our-democracy/

It says that one of the primary functions of the US Marshals Service is to carry out judicial orders, but it reports to the president. This looks like a flaw to me.

Sorry, I’m a foreigner and I don’t understand much. Someone cares to explain? Should the police normally enforce judicial orders and sentences? Why do they not? Is the police personally loyal to Trump?

Nice. In what year(s) did you have your first computer?

I understood the post you are replying to as saying “what will AfD voters do when their party is banned?”.

In the case of the Nazis, we don’t know because their party was never banned. We don’t know what would have happened if the Nazi party had been banned.

I would be interested to know if we have historical cases of far-right parties that could have won the elections but were banned before they had the chance.

A common threat forces people together.

I’ve been incel for years and never hated or blamed women. I was aware of hateful incels but I avoided them.

I wish people would stop generalizing.

Still i’m kind of impressed that I glanced at this name and it felt right to me.

Oh, ok. Not a synonym “All women are biological females, but not necessarily all biological females are women.”

Got it.

A baby girl is a biological female.

So a baby girl is a woman???

I don’t think the right would care.
