Any comment on the Hannibal Directive deaths.

I see this story in the absolute present context, where NOW Israel is demanding Gazans' MOVE AGAIN as they continue the onslaught to drive everyone into the Sinai desert.

What sort of a country promotes stories to the world of "40 beheaded babies " etc.

A shameless one ?

Free Palestine and best wishes to the heroes of the Resistance....more courage than bombing schools from war planes.

Down votes on forums said to be a reason for conflict.

Yes owzer...shooting a PARAMEDIC in BOTH KNEES would be appropriate for a THOUGHT CRIME.

Can we raise the level of debate here ?

Well good for you Fighto san...

I was just noting that "Japan, Italy and Germany " were the ENEMY in WW2 not so long ago.

How many millions dead from that trio.

OK...I'll give Italy a "hall pass "....I dont think the Italians were ever committed to The Axis .

Advertise for a newby on Gaijin Pot....attract a better class of Finance Minister.

Can I preempt the shills and be the first to say FAKE NEWS .

Actually I believe the account to be accurate.

IDF snipers , if not bent on murder, often go for a "knee shot " knowing it will disable for life.

Will someone remove the rotting moral carcass that is present day......{add the country yourself....I dont want to be "moderated " }

Ahh Legrande...I believe Japan colonized both parts of Korea, including the south.

The North had the crap bombed out of it by the US and allies in the Korean war in the 50's.

That would be on the North's mind I guess.

Boy, this story just keeps on going....congrats to all posters who kept it alive.

This sucks.

RIP.

Good way to "clear the books " for outstanding thefts reported to the Police.

In NSW Aust., perps can commit /plea to a number of crimes {usually theft or break n enter } which will not increase the sentence length for the original arrest.

Clears the books.

Crime solved.

My mate came to Japan in the early 70's.

He thought the unattended, unlocked bikes were a scheme, similar to Holland, where you could "borrow " a bike .

Nah....

Russia lost 20 million dead to Germany in WW2 .

NK had more bomb tonnage dropped on it than the whole US Pacific campaign , in the Korean war.

Both countries understandably hesitant to accept US and Euro "patronage "

And that photo of leaders at the summit doesnt fill me with confidence.

Looks like people auditioning for a theatre role at an amateur production in an aged care home.

Biden has "stage fright " ?

Well Taiwan, I think the acronym would have to be changed with associated costs in reprinting documents and name tags.

Did the Chinese throw in "running dog capitalists " too ?

Or is that one on sabbatical.

Nobody does bombast like the Chinese...maybe Kim in NK.

For me, it was watching Ben Jonson win the 100 metres gold medal.

I've never run since.

"Nationalistic "rooting " " now ?

We have a different meaning in Australia.

But would address Japan's falling birth rate.

Watch the movie "The Martian " I think the stranded astronaut grows potatoes...

I cant be "extremely clear " though.

I'm interested in the offenders' ages.

Bit old for "Break n Enter "....thats a young mans game.

Fighto....when will you be signing up ?

You sound "keen to engage the enemy "

"The sea was angry that day, my friend "...George Costanza....Seinfeld.

Re: Patricide offender asking for mercy as is an orphan .........Laguna above...thats a Rodney Dangerfield joke .

No. Didnt happen in "real life ".

Death penalty doesnt reduce murder rates.

In say, Norway, this offender would get ten years living in a self contained flat.

Sad...politicizing disasters.

Blame shifting wont help anyone or anything.

I know a few people called "Jones "

Good people.

Not stuck up at all.

Nice name drop Bass.

Who else "do you know " ?

Re; "the Grace of God " thingy....why would He/She allow the episode to even happen ?

To be positive....could this event be the making of a "new endurance sport "?

Oh goody....the Italians are war gaming with Australia now.

Crappy record in WW2.

As kids we used to make jokes about the Italian Army prowess.

Like ..."How many gears does an Italian tank have ?"

Answer _Five in total. 4 reverse gears and 1 forward gear {in case they are attacked from the back }

China claiming Italian waters now ?

{Desert tortoise above }

It's a bizarre world where Australia's largest trading partner, China , is also the expected enemy in any new confrontation.

I'll remind people that the Aust. Defence boffins USED to war game against war with Indonesia, as that nation was considered a threat.

Apparently "satay chicken diplomacy " sorted that out.

And really....Aussies and Phillipinos wont stand a chance against China .

Better start thinking outside the box {the one the USA manufactured for everyone }

I'm a man SO IT"S NONE OF MY BUSINESS what women do with their health and bodies.

Seems the abortion fight has to be refought and refought again.

Toolonggone above

"How do I know she didnt call out "?

Because I was there, at the beach, drinking beer.

Hell, I dont speak Chinese....I didnt KNOW what she was saying ....and one should never swim after drinking.

"One story to tell the people back home"...

Mate, she was half way there already...on the trustworthy floaty.

Garthegoyle....yeah the "floaties "....get off the train, buy a floaty from a shop,....then leave it at the beach at days end.

At least this floaty had some utility.

I'd use the woman to promote the brand of floaty she had.
