Just checked, same in Norway. Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)

Aside from China and the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan have overlapping territorial claims in the busy sea passage.

Now I don’t have in-depth knowledge about this particular dispute, but to say the US is invading the China sea seems dishonest to say the least. As far as I can understand it seems they’re honoring a defence agreement after the Philippines military aircraft were fired flares upon, in what they consider their territory.

If you do have unbiased sources saying the US and the Philippines are invading Chinese territory, please share it

Are you still alive?

Not so. We have agencies who bring our passports to the offices that require them.

The letter said, for instance, that 107 workers had handed their passports to the company for help with applying for a temporary ID certificate in Brazil. The Brazilian labor inspectors had said that the workers had had their passports withheld by the company.

As someone who works in different countries, I sometimes have to send in my passport for stamps, verification, visa applications etc. What i always have on me is my secondary passport, for obvious reasons. I don’t buy for a second that a company this size wouldn’t make sure that their workers had a secondary passport, unless they had ulterior motives. It also makes everything else they say suspect.

There can’t be any abusive behaviour going on because the most important person in the world, me, didn’t see anything

Conflict is the point. You want someone to attack you, then what better way than bombing an orphanage, school, childrens hospital etc

I’m not taking a stance here. He asked why he was arrested, I simply told him what was written in the article as the basis for the arrest

Japan issued an international warrant for his arrest more than a decade ago, seeking him on charges of breaking into a Japanese vessel in the Antarctic Ocean in 2010, obstructing its business and causing injury as well as property damage.

So, they were housed and fed while working 18 hour days, thus not being able to leave the house. So that’s their defence, that you have to take shelter into context. When they couldn’t leave… Fucking throw the book at them

“As the Ukraine situation has not changed, we are not inviting Russia or Belarus” either, Suzuki added.

Calling it what it is, an invasion.

Not to take away from a lot of the other despicable shit done by Israel’s defence forces, but you have to be a special kind of awful to murder a child. Doesn’t matter if you believe you’re entitled to the land or whatnot. There’s really no way to justify killing children. Only hope the people who are responsible for actions like these gain some sort of awareness and have to live the rest of their lives with what they’ve done.

Guess they buy into the simplistic views shouted by the far right.

No. The reason you’re being downvoted is because of your ridiculous statements like open borders and free for all and the strange statement that the US is the only place where immigration is controversial. Ask someone from Greece or Italy about boat refugees, ask anyone from any country about immigration, it’s a continuous topic in any country where immigration is a thing. If you want to have an honest discussion that is.

If you actually wanted to have an honest discussion you’d be truthful, but you’re not. Spouting exaggerated claims that are obviously wrong and stuff like democrats can do no wrong. Of course no one takes you seriously, you’re acting like a troll.

Strange how you only reply to the comments echoing your beliefs and not the others calling your shit out. Nice new strawman by the way. Open border and free for all. Fucking moron, no one’s saying that except other trolls

And I think an organisation covering for pedophiles and murdering kids in their schools have no moral high ground and it is definitely unfit to lecture anyone on human dignity.

For Truman, news of the successful Trinity test set up a momentous choice: whether or not to deploy the world’s first weapon of mass destruction. But it also came as a relief, as it meant the United States wouldn’t have to rely on the increasingly adversarial Soviet Union to enter World War II against Japan.

From https://www.history.com/news/hiroshima-nagasaki-bombing-wwii-cold-war

By the morning of August 9, 1945, Soviet troops had invaded Manchuria and Sakhalin Island, but there was still no word from the Japanese government regarding surrender.

From https://www.britannica.com/event/atomic-bombings-of-Hiroshima-and-Nagasaki/The-bombing-of-Nagasaki

Moreover, regular incendiary bombing raids were destroying huge portions of one city after another, food and fuel were in short supply, and millions of civilians were homeless. General Curtis LeMay, the commander of American air forces in the Pacific, estimated that by the end of September he would have destroyed every target in Japan worth hitting. The argument that Japan would have collapsed by early fall is speculative but powerful.

From https://www.britannica.com/topic/Trumans-decision-to-use-the-bomb-712569

I don’t know what Truman thought, but I do think saving US soldiers and avoiding The Soviet Union must have weighed in on the decision to nuke cities.

I know history.com isn’t that great of a source, but I have to go back to work.

Not trying to downplay what Japan did, but I don’t think that’s why they dropped the bombs. Russia was closing in and the US didn’t seem keen on having to divide up Japan like they did in Europe. I’d say it’s more likely civilian targets were bombed to put social pressure on the emperor and government to accept defeat.

These bombs don’t discriminate, so even put into context like you say, it’s still not a good argument

If I understand it correctly, and please correct me if I’m wrong, Russian interference in Syria has been exceptionally devastating for Isis in the region.

Unfettered immigration? Theres exactly not a single country who has that. Some more strict than others, but none unfettered.

You know what other countries have economic downturns at the moment? Damn near everyone. Get your head out of your ass and start pointing fingers in the right direction. Not the weakest or labour immigration.

Christ, this hateful bullshit has been spouted thousands of years and the only times it’s ruined societies has been when it’s not immigration, but colonisation.
