Posted in: NATO summit to push for standardizing shells See in context

They need to surpass Russian production, and North Korean and Chinese. 

Or they could simply decide to stop provoking those countries.

Posted in: U.S. and Europe warn Lebanon's Hezbollah to ease strikes on Israel and back off from wider Mideast war See in context

Yeah how dare Hezbollah interfere with Israel's use backed genocide of the Palestinians.

U.S. and Europe should be warning Israel to ease strikes on Palestine.

Posted in: Russia protests to Japan about joint exercises with NATO countries See in context

NATO is at war with Russia and Kishida decides to join, what an idiot. His decision will lead to the destruction of Japan.

Posted in: U.S. Marine in Okinawa arrested after woman injured in attempted rape See in context

It is sad to see that the Japanese government still accepts US bases in their country.

Japan has been occupied by US since the end of WWII, it has no choice, it appears.

Time for Japan to grow a spine and kick them out.

Posted in: Biden's shaky Trump debate alarms Democrats, raises questions for his campaign See in context

Yes, Biden's performance was obviously shaky. The fact they are reporting it as such must mean that they have decided to replace him. If not, all the msm would be saying his performance was solid and showed great leadership.

Posted in: U.S. surgeon general declares gun violence a public health emergency See in context

To drive down gun deaths, Murthy calls on the U.S. to ban automatic rifles, introduce universal background checks for purchasing guns, regulate the industry, pass laws that would restrict their use in public spaces and penalize people who fail to safely store their weapons.

These points should also be considered when giving weapons to Israel and Ukraine, especially the background checks and restricting their use in public spaces.

Posted in: U.S. envoy visits Hanoi days after Putin, saying U.S.-Vietnam trust is at 'all-time high' See in context

trust between the two countries was at an “all-time high,”

Some in Vietnam realize they can make some deals with the US, but they all remember the great damage the US caused to Vietnam during the war.

Posted in: U.S. envoy visits Hanoi days after Putin, saying U.S.-Vietnam trust is at 'all-time high' See in context

many of that generation died and many were handicapped because of Vietnam, 

Because of the Vietnam war, not because of Vietnam.

Posted in: Why is politics, which should be a profession conducted in service of the people, carried out so badly? See in context

Because politicians serve themselves, and the MSM is in their pocket.

Posted in: Putin makes rare visit to North Korea See in context

“As Russia continues to seek international support to sustain its illegal and brutal war against Ukraine, we reiterate that no country should give Putin a platform to promote his war of aggression and otherwise allow him to normalize his atrocities,” a U.S. Embassy spokesperson in Vietnam said in a statement.

So, is Netanyahu's visit to the US still on? Certainly, the terms illegal, brutal, war of aggression, and atrocities apply to what he's doing.

Posted in: Past COVID infections may help protect against certain colds. Could it lead to better vaccines? See in context

More research is needed to explain why the immune response in the unvaccinated is more robust than in the fully vaccinated.

They'll never allow it.

Posted in: Kishida calls for global efforts to achieve lasting peace in Ukraine See in context

Because he felt threatened by an independent and democratic Ukraine.

You mean like Ukraine prior to 2014?

Zelensky is the one who feels most threatened by an independent and democratic Ukraine.

Oh dear, Somebody forgot about NATO, US hegemony, Nuland's phone call and that big hoax called the Minsk Agreement.

Yes, it's amazing how many have "forgotten" those inconvenient facts.

Posted in: Ukraine, Japan sign 10-year term security agreement See in context

Japan Gives, Ukraine Takes. I don't see it any other way.

Japan gives money, Ukraine gives up lives, Zelensky and Kishida take money. I don't see it any other way.

Any respectable medical organizations that have come to that conclusion?

Are there any respectable medical organizations?

Why do you assume they know and speak the truth?

Isn't it more important to know what the facts are, rather than depend on some bureaucrats?

Posted in: Is intermittent fasting better than counting calories? Maybe not, but you might stick with it See in context

The expert below clearly demonstrates how much of the research against the keto or low-carb/high fat diets are faulty. I wouldn’t be surprised if the conclusions in the above article are based on equally faulty research.

Any medical experts of value have institutions that back their assertions. Which medical organizations have come to the same consensus as whomever you've posted a youtube video of?

Many like to bring up an alleged institutional consensus, but are completely unable to provide any proof.

You clearly didn’t even watch the video, as he doesn’t say anything for or against keto. He is simply pointing out that the studies often being used to support the anti-keto side are faulty. For example, a study where the keto group included many more smokers and other confounders. Or reports of groups said to be following a keto diet were in fact following a diet far from keto.

I wouldn't be surprised if studies against intermittent fasting are of equally poor quality.

I was partly joking when I suggested that heavy drinkers are more likely to skip breakfast. But after watching the video, I am more confident in my comment.

Posted in: Climate records keep getting shattered See in context

the fact that records being shattered explicitly means the registered temperatures are not something "seen time after time" but instead something that is being registered for the first time.

Exactly, the registered temperatures are going up. The temperatures around the sensors being registered are apparently going up.

Time to get rid of the far left, which has been ruining Europe.

Posted in: Is intermittent fasting better than counting calories? Maybe not, but you might stick with it See in context

Longstanding evidence suggests that skipping breakfast may be linked to cardiovascular disease and death.

Skipping breakfast is also associated with heavy drinking the night before.

The above article focuses too much on calories. What you eat will influence the effects of intermittent fasting.

Regardless, it certainly isn't a good idea to be eating all day.

Posted in: Israel rescues 4 hostages taken in Hamas' Oct 7 attack; at least 94 Palestinians are killed See in context

Should never have been held captive by cowardly Hamas in the first place. 

Hamas should never have needed to take these hostages in the first place. Unfortunately, the world was pressured by the US and stood by and did nothing for decades as Israel increasingly stole land, killed Palestinian civilians, and held on to several thousand Palestinian hostages, including women and children.

Kishida mulls talks with Ukraine's Zelenskyy

In other words, talk about how they can each enrich themselves with Japanese taxpayers' money.
