    You know it’s Japan because they are using cute mascots for their very serious security discussions.

        ? The caption on the post is literally what was auto-pulled when I put in the URL. So I’m confused here.

          Person I replied to believes the cute mascot image is from Japan, the caption of the image from the article suggests otherwise.

            Ahh, ok! Kbin has been doing some wonky things the last day or so with threading, so it looked to me like this was a standalone comment when I first saw it, which was why I was so confused. Sorry!

      The presentation in the picture is about national security education so very much understandable. And the picture’s actually Taiwan not Japan.
