Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Let's check!
It gives both Russia (never signed a formal peace treaty with Japan, still technically at war, has land disputes with Japan currently settled in its favor but which Japan refuses to give up on) and China the legal rights to nuke Japan off the face of the earth, claim it was the only way and walk off scott-free. Fascists never learn.
The thing about Japan too is its' a US vassal. But the US thinks they're clever so could have them develop nukes, orchestrate a situation where they end up using them on China, get hit back hard in the face and China is left reeling and limping while Japan is finished and a martyred cause celebre for the west while never again risking being a competitor. So there is a very real risk and problem with them having nukes that doesn't exist in nations that are independent, no matter how deranged their leadership may be their ultimate goals tend to involve survival of their nation.
