  1. Unfortunately when there was this sort of rhetoric deep within the government then the benefits of intelligent immigration was never going to happen. Japan PM ex-adviser praises apartheid in embarrassment for Abe Ayako Sono, considered part of Abe’s informal brain trust, set off a wave of online fury this week when she wrote in the conservative Sankei newspaper that South Africa’s former policies of racial separation had been good for whites, Asians and Africans. Her comments could complicate Abe’s efforts to address a deepening labor shortage and his efforts to burnish the country’s image abroad, analysts say. In a column entitled “Let Them In - But Keep a Distance”, Sono said Japan should open its doors to more foreign workers, especially to care for the growing numbers of elderly, but should make them live separately from Japanese. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-apartheid-idUSKBN0LH0M420150213
  2. So what you're saying is arm yourselves at all times especially if your with your wife people you know and when you go to a dance hall. Got it.
  3. Interesting. McGonigal was the special agent in charge of counterintelligence in the FBI's New York Field Office. The same office that hated Hilary Clinton. The same office that pressured Comey to announce the continued investigation into Hilary's emails 3 weeks before the election. We all know what happened then. "In December 2018, the Trump administration announced it would lift sanctions from three companies linked to Russian oligarch and longtime Manafort business partner Oleg Deripaska. The sanctions were originally put in place to respond to Russia’s malicious cyber activities and attempts to subvert Western democracies." https://themoscowproject.org/dispatch/mitch-mcconnell-russia-sanctions-and-rusals-investment-in-kentucky/index.html The FBI’s New York Office Really Hated Hillary Clinton https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2018/06/the-fbis-new-york-office-really-hated-hillary-clinton/
  4. Yes, plenty, it was a: Cobray M11 9mm semi-automatic weapon, which is designed to take 30-round magazines that allow for rapid fire. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/23/us/huu-can-tran-monterey-park-shooting-what-we-know/index.html Image of one here Another with accessories that can be added:
  5. Then maybe you also heard him say “I believe the weapon that was recovered at the Alhambra location is not legal to have here in the state of California.”
  6. What region are you in? https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/01/22/baton-rouge-shooting-nightclub-suspect/
  7. That may well be the case but I was responding to your post: As I've already pointed out to you, it was not the article writer but a direct quote from the police, would you rather they did not do that? I'm confused. It was not just the Daily Beast that quoted County Sheriff Robert Luna, multiple other sources did. Luna described the gun seized from the suspect at the Alhambra location as “a magazine-fed semiautomatic assault pistol” with an “extended large capacity magazine.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2023/01/23/heroes-hailed-for-disarming-monterey-park-shooting-suspect-at-second-location
  8. Did he check before making his wild assumptions about Gretas mother. Greta's mother was an opera singer and never got involved with climate change activism, he bases his whole 2 mins of speculation on a lie. What do you expect from an extreme right wing personality who got banned from twitter for his hate speech on transgenders. “Peterson’s secret sauce is to provide an academic veneer to a lot of old-school rightwing cant, including the notion that most academia is corrupt and evil, and banal self-help patter,” says Southey. “He’s very much a cult thing, in every regard. I think he’s a goof, which does not mean he’s not dangerous.” A few choice quotes of his. “The idea that women were oppressed throughout history is an appalling theory.” Islamophobia is “a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons”. White privilege is “a Marxist lie”. Believing that gender identity is subjective is “as bad as claiming that the world is flat”
  9. No excuses for other countries after this.................... Estonia transfers all its 155-mm howitzers to Ukraine in largest military aid package – ambassador s part of a new largest aid package to Ukraine, Estonia has decided to hand over all its 155-mm howitzers. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces with reference to the message of the Embassy of Estonia in Ukraine. "We are giving all our 155-mm howitzers to Ukraine. And we want to create a precedent in this way so that other countries will not have any excuses why they cannot provide Ukraine with the necessary weapons to win the war," emphasized Estonian ambassador to Ukraine Kaimo Kuusk. https://ukranews.com/en/news/910205-estonia-transfers-all-its-155-mm-howitzers-to-ukraine-in-largest-military-aid-package-ambassador #BREAKING Moscow expels Estonian ambassador over 'total Russophobia': foreign ministry https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1617456912278163456
  10. & another one, in Louisiana Mass shooting inside Baton Rouge club left 12 people injured https://www.wdsu.com/article/mass-shooting-baton-rouge-club-12-people-injured/42610747
  11. ? Not sure I'm following you, whats that got to do with around 50,000 Wagner in Ukraine? Or the Wagner committing atrocities in Africa?
  12. Are they fighting in Ukraine and are they recruited from Russian prisons as the most of Wagner has been recently?
  13. Seems like you don't keep up. This was stated just a few days into the invasion: On March 3, the Russian Defense Ministry referred to all foreign volunteers in Ukraine as “mercenaries,” none of whom “can be considered as combatants in accordance with international humanitarian law or enjoy the status of prisoners of war… At best they can expect to be prosecuted as criminals.” https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/03/15/ukraine-war-foreign-fighters-legion-volunteers-legal-status/ Lets also not forget its not just Wagner but additionally Putin announced in March that he will approve up to 16,000 fighters from the Middle East.
  14. No that's what the police called it, from your same article. The firearm wrested from the suspect was “a magazine-fed semiautomatic assault pistol” that had “an extended large capacity magazine attached to it,” the sheriff said, adding later that he believed the weapon was illegal to own in the state of California.
  15. Did you ask the Ukraine people about that? They do not agree with you. 86% support the action against the Russian terrorists. No this is all because of Putin, not Zelensky.
  16. A shooting in a state with among the strictest gun laws in America. Also one of the lowest for gun related deaths as a result. This is an unfortunate incident but the stats tell a different story. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm
  17. Yes more weapons to Ukraine will solve this. Its just plane logic and no need to have a commanding knowledge of the strategy of war as the experts can also tell us. By now anyone following this of course knows the logistics, training and maintenance required. That's precisely why the US is not supplying Abraham tanks because of the turbine engines, the specialist knowledge needed and they are gas guzzlers. Ukraine Needs These 3 Weapons 'to Win War With Russia' https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-needs-these-3-weapons-win-war-russia-1765337 NATO chief: More weapons to Ukraine only way to negotiated peace https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/nato-chief-more-weapons-to-ukraine-only-way-to-negotiated-peace/2791096 Time Is on Ukraine’s Side, Not Russia’s The Ukrainians will win if they keep getting better weapons. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/01/russia-ukraine-weapon-production-nato-supply/672719/
  18. Maybe enough pressure was applied Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III spent several days trying to persuade the Germans to ship them, or at least allow Poland and other nations that use the tanks to re-export them. But by the time the meeting with scores of allies ended, the German defense minister, Boris Pistorius, reported that no agreement had been reached, although he said they would make a decision “as soon as possible.” He and Mr. Austin tried to focus on the unity of the effort to confront Russia, rather than the obvious rift over arms. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/20/us/politics/nato-alliance-ukraine.html https://archive.ph/gzPKR
  19. The reckoning comes: Finnish expert says: "Finland must consider extremely carefully the extent to which it should continue to purchase defense materials from Germany." "Finland cannot take the risk [to] be tied to a country that humbles itself in front of the enemy." https://twitter.com/EHunterChristie/status/1616775716145696769?cxt=HHwWgsC8pdS8-O8sAAAA
  20. Also known as blackmail. Besides which you posted an older report and "Scholz’s spokesman, Steffen Hebestreit, denied reports that Germany had insisted it would only deliver Leopard tanks if the U.S. sends its own Abrams tanks." German caution on Ukraine arms is rooted in political culture On Friday, Germany inched closer to a decision to deliver the tanks, ordering a review of its Leopard stocks in preparation for a possible green light. There was still no commitment, however. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius rejected the suggestion that Germany was standing in the way but said, “we have to balance all the pros and contras before we decide things like that, just like that.” https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/21/german-caution-on-ukraine-arms-is-rooted-in-political-culture.html
  21. Sometimes its even easier. Don't take a police quote and add your own meaning to it when the meaning was already clear.
  22. Yes mean? I mean nothing. I qave a direct quote. It does not say the demonstration was not peaceful. Don't put words in my mouth or try to create strawman
  23. Why not accept what the police already said? "The local Aachen police force said Ms Thunberg was part of a group of protesters that "stormed" towards the edge of the open-cast mine, described by officers as "steep and extremely dangerous". The force said the activist was not arrested but was instead carried along with other protesters for identification. She was released after a brief detention, police confirmed."

  24. I responded to a post in kind, once. Get your facts correct, the poster below is the one who used the term first perhaps have a word with him. Link to where I have used it before?
  25. Finally. 5 posts later an admission when presented with facts. After derailing the topic.
