This idiot doesn't even have a PhD or masters in any STEM discipline.

He has a Bachelors in PHILOSOPHY from some safety school, and is covering technology??? Anyone can pass as a "China Specialist" these days.

if science functioned the way that they do:

Einstein: "As you see, light has been observed to curve around the sun, thus proving the distortion of spacetim-"
Newton: "That's fake news. Common sense shows that light doesn't curve."
Einstein: "But I have a photograp-"
Newton: "That's a doctored photograph. You can't trust Einstein who is from Nazi Germany. Are you with the Nazis?"
Einstein: "I'm Jewis-"
Newton: "Sure you are. Everyone says that when it comes to the Nazis."
Einstein: "But even if a Nazi says it, fact is fac-"
Newton: "So you admit you're a Nazi and spreading Nazi pseudoscience."

US apparentely renewing the COFA agreements with two Pacific Island states which gives them exclusive right to the EEZ of those Pacific states. Independent on paper & US protectorates de facto.

Ironically this was exactly what Nazi Germany did. The discoveries of Einstein and other Jewish phyicists were discredited precisely because they were Jewish. This would cost the Nazis dearly, as it greatly delayed the development of nuclear physics in Germany. No coincidence that facist states think alike.

The GOP was touting the whole cuts in spending and deficit problem a couple weeks ago. Ya, turns out that was bull shit as usual. They want to cut funding or expansions for domestic programs to divert more funding towards the over bloated military. Obviously, the warmongers have China in their sights.

This is just a massive game of chicken, both sides will become more amenable to changes in the last 2 weeks and the debt ceiling will be raised again.

Renewal of COFA means the Federation of Micronesia and Marshal Island will remain US vassal. Not even sure why they are allowed votes in UN.

It is just a dog and pony show and the intended audience isn't for us but for Japanese citizens. Nuking civilians is never justifiable but between another million of Americans and allies troops that would need to die in order to take Japan. I think it is a necessary evil. In addition, as much as these politicians laying flowers today, most of them won't hesitate to do it again if their rivals can't retaliate in kind.

But for many mainland Chinese, I do believe they would choose not to nuke Japan during WW2 so that they could seek revenge and made Japanese paid for their crimes. As much as some people claimed that it is time to forgive and forget, Japanese never paid for their crimes and compare with the suffer that Asians and especially China by the hands of Japan, Japanese got away too easy with the nuke. That's why I never understand why they have the audacity to play victims. But as long as you are the ally of the West, you probably can get away with anything.

No, it wasn't necessary to nuke Japan at all. Japan was going to surrender anyway and a naval blockade would have been more than enough to kill off Japan, but the nukes were to stop the Soviet Union from taking over Japan, which the US considered a strategically important industrial country that must be under US control post war.

Not going to debate if the nuke is necessary to end the war or not. However, Japan wouldn't surrender if the US simply did a naval blockade. Without a land invasion, Japanese wouldn't give up. At that time, majority of the Japanese did not consider themselves beaten and would continue to fight.

As for SU, the US had already forced Russians to cancelled the invasion of Hokkaido. It is unlikely that SU has the appetite to invade Hokkaido without the US's blessing.
