Deliberate civilians killing is a war crime. Nanking massacre, Babi Yar, Dresden bombing, A-bombings and more are all war crimes. Why argue?

In modern world to be a sovereign nation means to have a nuclear weapon and not have foreign bases on its soil. I think Japan should have one or at least have an ability to quickly make it if needed.

Let's just have a one world currency, The Earth Dollar or something. You know it makes sense. Mind you, put all those bankers out of work!

And where the emission center will be? Controlled by whom? Who will define exchange rate for local currencies? etc. No chance, IMHO, at least…

I'd say these islands are material things and marine resources around them too both are quite valuable. If Japan wants (make use of) them it must come forward with a really good proposal. Back patting and ありがとう even in 共 case won't work anymore - 90s are over.

At this moment in history, there are three words to describe Russia's policy: KGB, weapons, and oil(gas). When a country depends on gas, oil and weapons as the main source of economy; the civility is questionable. Russia cars, Russia dvd player..... anyone? The EU is so afraid of the red…

Depends on who is doing the math. And nothing is simple these days.

If not for the U.S., both countries would still be under the boot of awful dictatorships.

In fact they still are. The awful dictatorships were turned into the awful civilian wars - the cure is worse than the disease. Sadly, "Leave'em alone" is not an answer any more. Well, the…

How come the Russians aren't contributing any troops in Afghanistan? Whoops, I forgot - the Afghans can't stand the Russians, who subjugated them from 1979 to 1989.

You'd be surprised but Russia helped North Alliance during Taliban rule. Do you know who was a leader of this alliance? Former enemy.…
