                There are some fringe subsets of commies and fascists who see nuclear war as a path towards enacting their bunker society, but that just sounds like vaults from fallout honestly, and both commies and fascists are already fringe.

                Anyone who truly supports a nuclear war has some kind of death wish for human civilization honestly, which has prevented world war three thus far.

    I still think it's unnecessary. It's not like Europe could or would help Japan in any military issue. We've already heard Macron saying that Europe should stay out of China's territorial claims. A NATO liaison office would be a waste of a building.

        He's got a point. Europe can't project power into Asia-Pacific and shouldn't be relied on for that. Japan should focus on its existing alliance with the US, while doing what it can to make the Asia-Pacific as much of a contested space as possible, meaning every country has its own sphere of influence that isn't dominated by China.

        Yes, Macron himself. The guy has told Ukraine to surrender at least twice and said NATO should admit we started the war (by default). The guy is sucking Chinese dick. The French are forever arrogant fricks.

        They can't though. Last time I checked Japan is neither European nor does it have territories adjusted to the Atlantic Ocean.

        Always a weird thing. USA and Canada aren't European either. If you go 'Well that doesn't matter' then why bring it up. Next point is if China attacks Hawaii, you think that isn't going to count because 'Hawaii isn't in the Atlantic Ocean'. The whole 'Atlantic Ocean' thing is to prevent wars starting if people attack like Falkland Islands (see the Falklands War) or New Caledonia or Reunion or Bouvet Island

            You know, I've seen maps where French Guyana shows as "NATO member", so I guess overseas territories count to some extent? I don't know how the rules work, though.
            Come to think of it, Article 10 specifies "European states", but what's the definition of "Europe" they use? (What's the EU's definition, for that matter?) Can the members amend the charter with a unanimous vote?

              I don't see why they couldn't? If everyone decides the rules say something else, then the rules will soon say something else. Problem would be getting everyone to agree.

                Of course, Japan, Australia, and a bunch of other players are "Major non-NATO Allies of the US" or "NATO Global Partners" on the same footing as European states with an IPAP, so I wonder if/when everybody decides to change the rules a little to formalize things, and how much that would Hurt The Feelings Of The Chinese People.

            nothing in NATO requires you to conscript the entire European population, and we both know US carrier groups would be the taxi service for any embarking European forces.

            it's really not asking for much, and most of what it's asking for boils down to "put some effort into defending yourself", not "go wherever the US military is"

          What Macron (and the french at large) want is to show that Europe doesn't need America and that Europe should only be ruled (economically and militarily speaking) by Europe. And of course they want France to be the top dog. That's what this is about, replacing America as the ultimate protector of Europe, by constantly screeching and undermining them. Btw he's wrong and moronic, America is based and we absolutely need them. not to mention our relationship is mutually beneficial.

                One, Yeltsin. Two, people don't believe that the CIA primped up the grocery store because they go to a grocery store exactly like it every week. This is virtually identical to any small town grocery store, but I guess some CIA guys must be showing up to stock our groceries stores too.

                ^ Exactly this. I live in a small-ish city in a relatively poor region of an under-average (economically) european country and when I go to the grocery store it sure looks a lot like the one Yeltsin went to. I mean its more modern for obvious reasons but the amount of stuff in it is on par. And ours is usually fresher too. (Fresher than what I saw when I went to the states, too. Dear USA, you seriously have an issue with processed food. Get some help. The amount of corn syrup you add to your salad is enough for it to constitute a dessert here in Europe. Bread should't taste like cake damnit!)
                I only ever really remember 1 time I saw empty shelves, when we ran out of chicken for a week because the chicken truck had an accident and Covid made hiring a new trucker a bit harder. And that was enough of a deal that the shop made a communicate about it on social media. But we still had pork and beef, so that only changed my plans slightly for like, 4 meals. Really I only remember it because of the memes. I sure as shit have never had issue finding decent food.
                Seeing all the third worlders acting as if the only way to explain it was CIA glowies stocking the shelves makes me wonder where the frick do they live in and how the frick is their economy bad enough that such a glowop would ever happen. If the CIA got called to stock our shelves they'd wind up standing around staring at wagies wondering why the frick they got called to begin with.

                There are many short term shortages due to extreme increased demand in localised areas everywhere, but the thing is it's short term.
                By it very nature the prices increase in that location, and thus they get allocated the product first next. If there is a larger shortage, production. increases because otherwise someone else will make all that extra money.
                There is an economic incentive to keep things stocked quickly throughout the entire process, and also to make the process efficient.
                You do not get that in communist utopia's, or at least not yet.
                Funnily enough I think AI based resource allocation is actually possible nowadays, so I can't imagine people would suffer the same if we had some from of communism, until the world eventually outstripped it by being more efficient. At that point you've just offloaded the work to machines though so is it really gommunism.

                Once the human is obsolete though, socialism to some extent will literally have to exist or we wont. We already allocate work to machine slaves right now after all. What happens when all the work is handled by machines.

                IIRC he expected that sort of Potemkin village ploy so he purposefully took a detour on his trip and paid a surprise visit to this random grocery store.
                In truth it looks perfectly unremarkable to me, any proximity store in my small city looks like that too, hell that's what stores look like in Eastern Europe now too. I'm sure they must have cleaned it up a bit and arranged the shelves for the photo op but it wasn't "staged".

                Yeah, the context was that after Yeltsin did the official visit to a store in the D.C. Metro he was talking smack with his American liaisons -- something to the effect of "oh, come on! We ALL prep stuff to look better than it really is; don't bullshit a bullshitter!"
                So they told his entourage they could pick a random highway exit of their choice and walk into any supermarket they wanted. Yeltsin genuinely believed he was calling their bluff right up until the penny dropped for him.
                It's hard not to feel a little sympathy when you look at the photo. That's the look of a man who just realized that the West wasn't lying to cover up because they didn't need to cover anything up. That decades of Soviet neglect and shortages were all for nothing.
                In photos, he never looks quite the same afterwards.

      Makes you wonder if Taiwan could open an office too. It would be like their informal embassies around the world.

      World Mutual Alliance for Freedom (WMAF).

      Due to constitutional limits, the Japanese participation in this alliance is known as the Japan Military Committee Force (JMCF).

      Strategic Alliance Treaty Organization (SATO), its gonna be NATO + Japan, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand

      probably gonna be based on some Strategic Alliance Treaty that guarantees not only a defense umbrella, but also more open markets/flow of people/investments/developments between free democratic countries

      you only need to change one letter and it also sounds like a japanese name, i kinda like it

          were you paying any attention to Bolsonaro at all? Lula is basically just a pendulum swing in the other direction. the primary barrier to an alliance there would likely be the "America bad" sentiment common in Latin America across the entire political spectrum, but that's easy enough to fix on the US end if you just keep the CIA under control and approach Latin America with a similar goal to post-war Vietnam-US relations, i.e. making direct efforts to repair rather than control the region.

              Just a few years ago the US was again directly helping a coup against the Bolivian governtment. "muh CIA" or not, that shortsighted shit has poisoned the well for a generation against the US in latin america and a lot of europe.

                as far as i'm aware the Bolivian coup didn't have US support of any kind (apart from Donny boy issuing some platitudes along the lines of "good job not having a civil war") - it was just a consequence of Evo Morales trying to get a fourth term despite the constitution limiting him to two (he got the third because his first predated the constitution) and despite his party failing to amend the constitution to remove the term limit.

                the US certainly didn't offer any support to the disaster that was the presidency that came after Morales

              someone didn't pay attention in history

              the Kremlin isn't very creative, a lot of the stuff they claimed the CIA was doing to them was stuff the CIA had done (or, more likely, had attempted but failed to do - seriously their competence has always been questionable at best) in Latin America under the direction of people like Kissinger. it's also not just the CIA, that's more a convenient shorthand - the NSA got in on this somewhat too (see: USS Pueblo incident) as far as "severe incompetence" is concerned and a lot of this was directed ultimately by the US State Department.

              so i guess it is more accurate to say "keep the US State Department under control" because if you don't you get moronic incompetence like "coups for containing communism" followed by "oh shit why isn't the despot we installed loyal to us", or "let's give a ship to some 'intel' desk jockeys" followed by "oh shit why the frick didn't they bring a competent navigator with them or even try to learn how to do it themselves"

                Off the top of my head the events in the late 1940s which lead to the US taking a more active stance in the Cold War include
                >Berlin Blockade
                >Soviet-supported marxist insurrections in European colonies
                >Greek Civil War
                >major Marxist unrest in Turkey
                >fall of Czechoslovakia
                >Soviet siezure of American nuclear secrets
                >Soviet support of communist parties in the West
                >fall of China
                >Korean War
                The real kicker is during the opening phases of the Korean War, American forces were actually outmatched. The US Army in 1950 was substantially smaller, less funded, and less advanced than the standing US Army from 1953 onwards. American pilots even had to use WWII prop fighters to fight powerful MiG-15s

                I'm not arguing against fighting the Soviets and other violent commies, but a lot of trouble could have been avoided by just playing the game with a cool head and economic bribes. Cuba, Vietnam or Iran are good examples of letting greedy buttholes run foreign policy until warfare becomes unavoidable when they could have become western allies or at least non-aligned.
                The US was lucky that the USSR and China were just violent thugs or things could have been much worse.

                I'm telling you your perspective is naive and rooted in hindsight. Korea and the other incidents cemented that the US needed to take a much more active role in countering communism, which had some rather unfortunate side effects, but ultimately worked put relatively well

                nah, it's rooted at looking at what happened when the US was smarter like in Egypt. Greedy buttholes used anti-communism as cover for their operations, dooming entire countries and the US into conflict without need when there were other alternatives. It's like comparing Desert Storm with the Iraq War occupation.
                The Fruit Company or Kissinger and others like him were self-serving incompetent buttholes that should never have been allowed to influence US policy

    I think that a Western-Japanese alliance is a good idea, but what I like about NATO is that it is fundamentally an alliance of white nations (except for Turkey, but they're in there only for convenience)

                nta but it sure looks like it's an attempt to shit on Europe when what started this was an expression of frustration about Africans talking about grudges but not thinking they could be the target of ones from how they're acting regarding Ukraine.

                Looking it up, lot of shit going down in Africa is due to Wagner, so that's Russia that's to blame.

    America is very safe! I was only shot twice on my way to work this morning, and one of those times was a mistake. Guy was aiming at a bird in a tree and pinged me with a .22
    Nice fellow, he apologized and even gave me half of the bird for the trouble. Now both our families eat tonight. Maybe next week they go into woods and look for berries and nuts together.

          If Turkey can block countries from getting in, it'd be trivial for France to do the same. Australia's government should've probably thought of that before they started playing stupid games.

                We also wanted in but we're being denied, so my point is you can't say Turkey is being reasonable about shit, so I see Gotland at least as being under risk. Plus us not being in makes it harder to help Finland, I think?

                The Swedes are protected by a defense treaty with the other Scandinavian states, which in turn are in NATO. While the letter of the law may not give you article 5, I have zero doubt that the US would immediately jump in.

                if such a treaty existed (it doesn't) it wouldn't pull in the rest of NATO by design.

            Of all countries in NATO France is on even shakier membership than the Turks. But ultimately it matters very little as the US can always spin up a new Treaty Org with a willing Japan/Australia/SK.

        The EU was explicitly a alliance from the start and its members are very close to each other, economically, culturally and physically.

        BRICS are just an economic forum of convenience where three members distrust or hate each other, and the other two are far away and can switch sides easily (and probably will do it for their own good)
