Looks like 140 were killed in the Crocus Concert Hall attack.

'Kill them and have no mercy': ISIS

Looks like the attack was carried out by 'ISIS' but putin is trying to scapegoat it on Ukraine in some way. Ukraine denies any involvement.

Roman (NFKRZ) from Chelyabinsk, Russia has a very good take on this:

Yohan sometimes crack me up, he talks like Japan has a strong military when half of that country is loaded with beta fags who are letting their own people die out. Add on top of the fact they rely on the worse country in the world for support. AMERICA....
Japan ranks 2024 as the No. 7 of the 'Top 10 nations with most powerful militaries', and was listed 2023 as No. 8

No need to offer links, if you do some google research you will get replies from various websites which will confirm this.

You can also google JSDF and you will get from wikipedia etc. a list/linka about all in details, what the Japanese Military operates.
Japan jumps to seventh

Japan excels with major ports among the top 10 powerful countries. With four helicopter carriers, Japan secures the second spot in this category, just behind the United States. This fleet is equipped with advanced onboard technology for specialised roles on the battlefield. Japan maintains a capable and well-rounded military force with 50,000 Air Force personnel, 150,000 Army personnel, and 51,000 Navy personnel.
About USA and its 55000 military servicemen in Japan, they are not here for free, the Japanese government pays about 80 percent of all expenses, from salaries of the servicemen up to housing, fuel etc.

If you know any better nation, which is willing to offer additional protection of Japan against North Korea, Russia and to some extent also against China, let me know.

About Russia - it is considered as a hostile country to Japan since WWII and it is the only country in this world without a peace treaty with Japan.
There are frequently provocations by Russian warplanes entering Japanese airspace.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet–Ja ... ality_Pact
The treaty[2] was signed in Moscow on April 13, 1941, by Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka and Ambassador Yoshitsugu Tatekawa for Japan and Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov for the Soviet Union.

The same day, all three men also signed a declaration regarding Mongolia and Manchukuo.[3] The Soviet Union pledged to respect the territorial integrity and the inviolability of Manchukuo, and Japan did the same for Mongolia.

The text of the treaty had stated that the pact remained "valid for five years" (i.e., until April 13, 1946). When Japanese Ambassador Naotake Sato pressed him, Molotov assured him that the treaty would remain in force until April 1946.[7] The treaty also stated, "In case neither of the Contracting Parties denounces the Pact one year before the expiration of the term, it will be considered automatically prolonged for the next five years" (April 13, 1946 - April 13, 1951). The denunciation came on April 5, 1945, which under those terms meant that the treaty would not renew on April 13, 1946.

On May 8 or 9, 1945, the date depending on the time zone, Nazi Germany surrendered, which ended the war in Europe and started the secret three-month countdown for the Soviets to start hostilities against Japan. On August 9, 1945, just after midnight in Manchuria, the Soviets invaded Manchuria. The declaration of war against Japan followed nearly six hours later. Because of the time zone difference of 7 hours,[8] the declaration of war could be still dated August 8, 1945, and was presented to the Japanese ambassador in Moscow at 11 p.m. Moscow time.[9]

During the Soviet invasion, Japanese forces on the Asian mainland were unprepared to resist and were overrun relatively quickly. In the last campaign of the war, Soviet territorial gains in Asia were Manchukuo, Mengjiang (Inner Mongolia) and northern Korea.
Japan surrendered to USA not only because of the nuclear bombings, but also because it wanted to avoid that Russia is entering the 4 main islands of Japan and dividing the country. - You cannot deny that this is what exactly happened to Germany and Korea.

Japan made the right decision when it lost the WWII. The Russians were only a few miles away from entering Japan.

The Russians after end of WWII quickly were stealing some few little islands of Japan, kicked out the local Japanese fishermen and families living there and occupy these islands up to today.

@Yohan seems like a nice old Austrian men settled in Japan. I guess that's why he feels strong connection towards it and his a strong Japanophile(no offense to Yohan, forgive me for generalizing).
Your opinion about me is correct. I am living in Japan since more than 40 years, with Japanese family, and never had any problems here, so yes, I have a strong connection with Japan in many aspects.
Although his and my opinion vastly differ regarding the Ukrainian War and others. I hold no animosity towards him as If there is any animosity at all...I have none towards Yohan.
As far as I remember some of our former comments, our opinion is not so different from each other regarding Japan - South Korea - North Korea.

I do not understand however what makes you so friendly towards the Russian government.

If I had a choice to decide, either USA or Russia, I would always choose USA - despite no doubt USA is presently a chaos, politically, socially, financially etc. etc.....but daily life in Russia is nothing better at all.

About Ukraine, which was under direct Soviet rule and not only a satellite state like Hungary or Bulgaria or EastGermany etc. I fully understand and respect why Ukrainian people do not want to have anything to do with Russia in the future. They want to have all Russians gone - for good reason.

I guess you never had any experience about to live under Russian rule - ask some members here how they feel... it's not funny, not funny at all.

I am trying to understand then why is the U.S importing Russian Oil if they can produce it all on their own? Production cost might be more expensive than simply buying Russian oil? 3%, that's still something.
I can only comment about the Sakhalin-2 project, from where most parts of Russian oil are exported to Japan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakhalin-II

This project is not a simple relationship between a seller and a buyer.

It was created as a shareholding company to explore oil with Russia getting 51 % of the shares and Japan and USA and some other countries 49 % percent, something like that, and to make the shareholding secure and stable, Russian/US/JP governments bought also some shares, and the remaining shares were bought by large private companies in Russia, in Japan and in USA and some other countries too (UK, Netherlands?).

Russia wants to end the project and the co-operation, but such an international shareholder company is not so easy to change.

There is some agreement now, that Russia creates a new state-own company, but all foreign shareholders still have rights to buy oil and it seems, some US and JP shareholders still continue to buy some oil- as the project was not created solely with Russian money.

Check out the link above for more information.

Yes, I have no experience living under Russian Rule, but I'm not a pro-russian, pro-kremlin bot who supports Putin. I don't understand why people assume that I am. I'm quite neutral and based on my observations,research and playing the little devil's advocate, I'm just saying Ukraine is screwed whether anyone like it or not.

@Yohan, you offered many good counter arguments and I really enjoyed that, but the rest of the people here just calls me names and were being annoying little twats instead of offering valid counter arguments to my main premise which is Ukraine is screwed whether anyone likes it or not. Please don't think I am a pro-russian, Z-bot and a Russian spy. :lol: Name calling is the only option for those who can't form good arguments!

The life in Japan must been really comfortable for you and your family huh? However, you have never experienced living in the United States of America. I have NEVER said that living in Russia is better than the United States. I only said the only good thing about living in the U.S is making above average money and it has opportunities if you know where to look. Still all of the best and brightest people in Japan,East Asia, Southeastern Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe and even Russia wants to move to the U.S not because of social harmony, romantic relationships, and peace of mind, but because of the MONEY and employment opportunities and fulfilling their entrepenural potential. That's it! The Rest of the U.S such as quality healthcare, education, infrastructure, safety, worker's rights, friendly women, friendly people, etc are woefully behind!

I'm still in America, working... because I can make double the wage of average person in Europe. I make up to 120,000 USD/year now because of my main salary on top of Stock Dividends, Government Bonds and other side hustles. Tax is about 30% but I live way below my means and doesn't spend on anything stupid like fancier flat, designer clothes, BMW, eating out, online shopping, etc and still live in a cheap place in Korea town. Cost of living in New Jersey isn't that bad, when you manage to find cheap rent and learn how to live below your means like a buddhist monk.

I bet your average Japanese salaryman, Hiroshi can't make 120,000 USD a year in Japan. He makes about 18k USD - 34K USD a year. It's quite similar to South Korea's salary for Small and medium size businesses. Only Samsung/ Big corporate upper middle tier managers make up to 120,000 USD a year.

Europeans making 50,000 Euro/year or beyond get taxed 43% and their take home is only about half of that 50,000 Euro/year. :lol: :( And that money goes to fund the Gay-Ukrainian Khokhol side of the Ukrainian war and social welfare for all the illegal muslim and African darkies in European countries instead of their own citizens. :lol:

I hate how the world won't fight to take their countries back. I hope people enjoy living in shitty conditions in Europe, and as for America. The U.S. dollar is going to eventually decline, paper money is worthless as hell or getting there. I don't understand why European leaders are purposely trying to erase their own population. Shit still makes no sense to me. You also said Japanese people want to move to America, this is a huge FALSE. There are far less Japanese people living in Japan. The Asians who are flocking here in big numbers are the Chinese. And these are mostly war age Chinese men. Japanese people are happier where they are despite the brutal work culture. But they wouldn't trade up Japan for a shitty declining third world shit hole like America.

This is what Kunsler at Clusterfucknation.com wrote. He's a guy that talks about everything going on currently with America today:


https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/wake-up-call-2/
Can you feel it? The tension rising to the red-line? It runs clear through all of Western Civ. We are ruled by governments of fiends. But now, the sun rides higher in the sky. The sap is rising in the northern forests. The earth heaves. The buds swell and blush. Something is in the air. The animals are waking from their long winter sleep. The natives are restless.

The two traditional political divisions, liberal and conservative died with Covid. Now there are simply the sane versus the insane. The sane have had enough of being pushed around by the insane. The insane don’t register much of what reality tries to tell them. They have a body of insane ideas to comfort and protect them from reality’s rigors. To call that body of ideas an “ideology” is way too polite.

That the insane call themselves “progressive,” is a signature of their insanity. Progress toward what better state of things? Toward a supremacy of fiends, sadists, degenerates, and morons seizing riches and power by every dishonest means possible outside the rule of law and common decency? It’s not even suitable to call them “communists.” They lack the necessary idealism for that. They don’t expect to put their shoulders to the wheel with their fellow man. They just want to grab your stuff and then kill you so they don’t have to hear any complaints.

The insane do not believe any of the theoretical bullshit they want to force you to swallow. They don’t care about climate change. It’s just a cudgel they use to beat everyone over the head so they can steal your stuff. They don’t care about “democracy.” It’s just a line of bullshit to cover up their election-stealing. Do you suppose that sane people would keep using electronic vote-tabulating machines that were demonstrably connected to the Internet, and thus hackable, if they cared about election integrity? Of course not. They would arrange p.d.q. to junk them and use paper ballots, and only in person at polling places, with “absentee” exceptions only for people out of the country.

The insane do not care about public health. Everything that is known about the Covid-19 vaccinations tells you that they are unsafe and don’t prevent infection or transmission of a flu-like illness that might not even be what it was officially labeled as. Our public health officials in the FDA, the CDC, and in other corners of the Department of health and Human Services, lie about everything they’re responsible for. This week, the CDC (under Director Mandy Cohen) released a 148-page study on myocarditis reactions to mRNA shots. Every word on every page of the document was redacted. The CDC printed countless copies of the report with 148 utterly blank pages, and then proffered them to the news media. How is that not insane?

The insane do not care about the rule of law. The conduct of “Lawfare” is the subversion of the law by dishonest means. It is a species of racketeering. And that is why Lawfare rogues such Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, Matthew Graves, and Merrick Garland, should be charged under the federal RICO statutes for conspiring to deprive sane citizens of their rights and property in the many cases related to the 1/6/21 riot at the US Capitol.

It is, so far, an abiding mystery of contemporary history as to how New York Attorney General Letitia James managed to get away with prosecuting a real estate case against Donald Trump that was no more than victimless business-as-usual between a borrower and his lenders. Ms. James ran for that elected office promising to “get” Mr. Trump on something, anything. That is not how the rule of law works. Under the rule of law, first you determine that there is a crime and then look for who did the crime.

Letitia James must be insane and/or pretty stupid. The short-term gain of stealing Mr. Trump’s property under a false color-of-law and creating impediments to his election campaign, will, sooner or later, blow back at her as a matter of malicious prosecution and, plausibly, racketeering as well. (With whom did she conspire to bring this case? We shall find out.) She will eventually be disgraced publicly as her teammate Fani Willis has already been disgraced in Fulton County, Georgia. I’ll tell you something that all sane people now know but won’t talk about for fear of being crushed by the levers of Lawfare: this looks like a concerted effort by people-of-color to railroad people of non-color. If you think that is a good thing for race relations in our country, then you are insane.

Here are a bunch of other things that are insane: Re-litigating the first amendment is insane. It means what it says, and states it plainly. The open border is insane. No credible sovereign polity would allow it. It would be opposed with force, if necessary. Turning children into transsexuals on a wholesale basis is insane, and fiendishly so. Everybody knows that it is not good for the children or for our society as a whole. But fiends got to fiend, and if you try to deprive them of being fiends then you are guilty of “hate.”

The war in Ukraine is insane. We certainly didn’t ignite it in the service of “democracy.” Our pawn there, Mr. Zelensky, canceled the national elections last year. The war was arguably an effort by our CIA to deprive Russia of its market for natgas in Europe, and thus deprive Russia of a great deal of money, that is, of prosperity. The project failed. Russia overcame NATO’s proxy army and found other markets for its gas. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines only served to impoverish and weaken our NATO allies, who no longer have affordable gas to run their industries. The leaders of those allies were too insane to recognize that the Nord Stream op was an act-of-war against them. They were also busy destroying themselves, like the USA, with open borders. They will end up in a new medievalism, ruled by savages. You’d have to be insane to arrange that for yourself.

What’s most obviously insane in our country is that the insane party is pretending to nominate the mentally unfit White House place-keeper, “Joe Biden,” for reelection. You would think that if this party wanted to retain power, they would run a candidate who, though insane, was not also visibly senile. But the rank and file of this party are too insane to see that this dodge is not working. They are pretending with all their might that this is okay, that the growing faction of the sane don’t notice.

Sensing the growing impatience with insanity among the voters, the insane party has reached its point of terminal desperation. What will they try next? Murder? Why not? Nothing else seemed to work. They are too far gone in their insanity to understand that winter is over. We’ve entered the season of rebirth and renewal, starting with a renewed appreciation for being sane and for that indispensable ingredient that makes liberty in a free society possible: good faith. Really, the only question left is: how rough do they intend to play to prevent the return of sanity and good faith?

Regarding Moscow terror attacks. Russia has been terrorizing and killing Ukrainian civilians in Ukraine for over two years now. Maybe it's good they have a taste of their own medicine.

For someone who says they are not a pro-russian, Z-bot and a Russian spy, you sure do sound like a pro-russian, Z-bot and a Russian spy.

@Yohan counters your arguments well.

I'm still in America, working... because I can make double the wage of average person in Europe. I make up to 120,000 USD/year now because of my main salary on top of Stock Dividends, Government Bonds and other side hustles. Tax is about 30% but I live way below my means and doesn't spend on anything stupid like fancier flat, designer clothes, BMW, eating out, online shopping, etc and still live in a cheap place in Korea town. Cost of living in New Jersey isn't that bad, when you manage to find cheap rent and learn how to live below your means like a buddhist monk.

I bet your average Japanese salaryman, Hiroshi can't make 120,000 USD a year in Japan. He makes about 18k USD - 34K USD a year. It's quite similar to South Korea's salary for Small and medium size businesses. Only Samsung/ Big corporate upper middle tier managers make up to 120,000 USD a year.

Europeans making 50,000 Euro/year or beyond get taxed 43% and their take home is only about half of that 50,000 Euro/year. :lol: :( And that money goes to fund the Gay-Ukrainian Khokhol side of the Ukrainian war and social welfare for all the illegal muslim and African darkies in European countries instead of their own citizens. :lol:
I hate how the world won't fight to take their countries back. I hope people enjoy living in shitty conditions in Europe, and as for America. The U.S. dollar is going to eventually decline, paper money is worthless as hell or getting there. I don't understand why European leaders are purposely trying to erase their own population. Shit still makes no sense to me. You also said Japanese people want to move to America, this is a huge FALSE. There are far less Japanese people living in Japan. The Asians who are flocking here in big numbers are the Chinese. And these are mostly war age Chinese men. Japanese people are happier where they are despite the brutal work culture. But they wouldn't trade up Japan for a shitty declining third world shit hole like America.

This is what Kunsler at Clusterfucknation.com wrote. He's a guy that talks about everything going on currently with America today:

Can you feel it? The tension rising to the red-line? It runs clear through all of Western Civ. We are ruled by governments of fiends. But now, the sun rides higher in the sky. The sap is rising in the northern forests. The earth heaves. The buds swell and blush. Something is in the air. The animals are waking from their long winter sleep. The natives are restless.

The two traditional political divisions, liberal and conservative died with Covid. Now there are simply the sane versus the insane. The sane have had enough of being pushed around by the insane. The insane don’t register much of what reality tries to tell them. They have a body of insane ideas to comfort and protect them from reality’s rigors. To call that body of ideas an “ideology” is way too polite.

That the insane call themselves “progressive,” is a signature of their insanity. Progress toward what better state of things? Toward a supremacy of fiends, sadists, degenerates, and morons seizing riches and power by every dishonest means possible outside the rule of law and common decency? It’s not even suitable to call them “communists.” They lack the necessary idealism for that. They don’t expect to put their shoulders to the wheel with their fellow man. They just want to grab your stuff and then kill you so they don’t have to hear any complaints.

The insane do not believe any of the theoretical bullshit they want to force you to swallow. They don’t care about climate change. It’s just a cudgel they use to beat everyone over the head so they can steal your stuff. They don’t care about “democracy.” It’s just a line of bullshit to cover up their election-stealing. Do you suppose that sane people would keep using electronic vote-tabulating machines that were demonstrably connected to the Internet, and thus hackable, if they cared about election integrity? Of course not. They would arrange p.d.q. to junk them and use paper ballots, and only in person at polling places, with “absentee” exceptions only for people out of the country.

The insane do not care about public health. Everything that is known about the Covid-19 vaccinations tells you that they are unsafe and don’t prevent infection or transmission of a flu-like illness that might not even be what it was officially labeled as. Our public health officials in the FDA, the CDC, and in other corners of the Department of health and Human Services, lie about everything they’re responsible for. This week, the CDC (under Director Mandy Cohen) released a 148-page study on myocarditis reactions to mRNA shots. Every word on every page of the document was redacted. The CDC printed countless copies of the report with 148 utterly blank pages, and then proffered them to the news media. How is that not insane?

The insane do not care about the rule of law. The conduct of “Lawfare” is the subversion of the law by dishonest means. It is a species of racketeering. And that is why Lawfare rogues such Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, Matthew Graves, and Merrick Garland, should be charged under the federal RICO statutes for conspiring to deprive sane citizens of their rights and property in the many cases related to the 1/6/21 riot at the US Capitol.

It is, so far, an abiding mystery of contemporary history as to how New York Attorney General Letitia James managed to get away with prosecuting a real estate case against Donald Trump that was no more than victimless business-as-usual between a borrower and his lenders. Ms. James ran for that elected office promising to “get” Mr. Trump on something, anything. That is not how the rule of law works. Under the rule of law, first you determine that there is a crime and then look for who did the crime.

Letitia James must be insane and/or pretty stupid. The short-term gain of stealing Mr. Trump’s property under a false color-of-law and creating impediments to his election campaign, will, sooner or later, blow back at her as a matter of malicious prosecution and, plausibly, racketeering as well. (With whom did she conspire to bring this case? We shall find out.) She will eventually be disgraced publicly as her teammate Fani Willis has already been disgraced in Fulton County, Georgia. I’ll tell you something that all sane people now know but won’t talk about for fear of being crushed by the levers of Lawfare: this looks like a concerted effort by people-of-color to railroad people of non-color. If you think that is a good thing for race relations in our country, then you are insane.

Here are a bunch of other things that are insane: Re-litigating the first amendment is insane. It means what it says, and states it plainly. The open border is insane. No credible sovereign polity would allow it. It would be opposed with force, if necessary. Turning children into transsexuals on a wholesale basis is insane, and fiendishly so. Everybody knows that it is not good for the children or for our society as a whole. But fiends got to fiend, and if you try to deprive them of being fiends then you are guilty of “hate.”

The war in Ukraine is insane. We certainly didn’t ignite it in the service of “democracy.” Our pawn there, Mr. Zelensky, canceled the national elections last year. The war was arguably an effort by our CIA to deprive Russia of its market for natgas in Europe, and thus deprive Russia of a great deal of money, that is, of prosperity. The project failed. Russia overcame NATO’s proxy army and found other markets for its gas. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines only served to impoverish and weaken our NATO allies, who no longer have affordable gas to run their industries. The leaders of those allies were too insane to recognize that the Nord Stream op was an act-of-war against them. They were also busy destroying themselves, like the USA, with open borders. They will end up in a new medievalism, ruled by savages. You’d have to be insane to arrange that for yourself.

What’s most obviously insane in our country is that the insane party is pretending to nominate the mentally unfit White House place-keeper, “Joe Biden,” for reelection. You would think that if this party wanted to retain power, they would run a candidate who, though insane, was not also visibly senile. But the rank and file of this party are too insane to see that this dodge is not working. They are pretending with all their might that this is okay, that the growing faction of the sane don’t notice.

Sensing the growing impatience with insanity among the voters, the insane party has reached its point of terminal desperation. What will they try next? Murder? Why not? Nothing else seemed to work. They are too far gone in their insanity to understand that winter is over. We’ve entered the season of rebirth and renewal, starting with a renewed appreciation for being sane and for that indispensable ingredient that makes liberty in a free society possible: good faith. Really, the only question left is: how rough do they intend to play to prevent the return of sanity and good faith?
You got that right. The only reason I stay in Jewunited States of Americ*nts is the MONEY. Nothing else. Otherwise, I would've left and settled
in the Balkans, Vietnam or many other small countries with friendly locals. I'm being paid six figures to stay here. You just can't make serious paper like that anywhere else eventhough the dollar is slowly being dethroned as world reserve currency. It's gotta take a while because the Chinese still pay their contractors in USDs and Even North Koreans are counterfeiting perfect $100 bills to fund their weapons program. Dollar is still valuable although declining..

I never said all Japanese wants to move America. I only said, the "most ambitious, entreprenueral ones" wants to move to America to work in Wall Street and Silicon Valley. All the other average Japanese are staying in Japan, being beta cucks living with there parents or being hikkikomoris and sh*t.

It's such a shame. Europeans on average are more open minded, cultured and intelligent then your average dumbf*ck americ*nts.
Amerc*nts only care about Americ*nt handegg and jerking off to each other on the sh*tty Super Bowl, which I hate with great passion.
Too bad Europeans are breeding themselves out. I'm not a white nationalist but Europeans should preserve their own race and not import bunch of useless darkies and run their nations into the ground.
