And we could've still been ''allies'' if it hadn't been for the US to suddently give us the cold shoulder after an incident like Tiananmen. And yet, Clinton was having good laughs with a drunk Boris Yeltsin in 1995, even though this was the same guy who decided to shell the Russian Duma with...
Wait, didn't Japan already kind of apologized back in 1995? And wasn't it the Abe administration that started this recent shitstorm some years back by trying to undo the 1995 apology?

Guys, can we just avoid bashing Vietnam here, and just agree that McCain is not only a danger to the stability in the Middle-East and East-Asia, but also to his own people? It's not as if it's their fault that McCain is a warmongering idiot.
Long enough to know that even renomated news papers can sometimes write the biggest piles of crap, while the most incoherent sources can be spot-on ;)
McCain thinks supposedly otherwise...
Damn, then this is one awesome rock bottom! Ever rising living standards, having the largest standing army in the world, and the second-largest GDP in the world. Does this mean it gets EVEN better from now on? :woot:
McCain... The guy who advocated to arm the FSA while it was known at the time in 2012-2013 that the group openly cooperated with Al-Nusra and ISIL, openly recruited child soldiers and were briefly even engaged in suicide bombings...
Sure McCain, arm whoever you like but please don't complain...
Ahhhh... Now I see where you're coming. But judging it purely on journalistic/news value, it has few to almost none. The campaigns of the government to gradually improve the overall standards, in this case Beijing, is indeed a noteworthy cause. But the thing here, is that the increase in public...
What China has been doing, in what it considers its backyard, is similar to what ANY rising power has been doing since the knowledge of man.
The US did something similar 200 years back in its own backyard with the Monroe Doctrine. It has been considered by many that this was the craddle of US...
God, and to think that she could accommodate some 3332 people... I shiver at the thought what would happen if a ''SHIP'' like Yamato were to spend months on the open sea with over 3000 seamen... Over 3000 sexually frustrated seamen. XD ...And some hentai artist is probably already making this...
I'm afraid a battleship with that BODY and those CURVES will most likely be used for something very different though...
BTW is that Cassandra from Freezing in your avatar?
My only concern is the fact that it seems that those secondary armaments (The gatling gun and the chain gun) don't seem to have a full 180 degrees angle of fire, meaning that wherever the main gun turret ISN'T aimed at, will be exposed.
In that case, you can try what the Greeks have been trying to do for the last couple of years: Luring in skilled labour and foreign capital by ''selling'' visas... Immigrants who can prove that they have an annual income of over a €100.000 and who, if I recall correctly, can cough up another...
Are you seriously going to windle off Andrei Gromyko's claims to the treaty as simply a ''Cold War'' mentality? Sorry, but that just doesn't cut it entirely for argumentation. Of course he made his claims in the mindset of that time; it was simply a different era with different sentiments. But...
...And which are backed up by both then Soviet, western and VIETNAMESE sources cited by said author, if you took those few extra seconds to read the sources list provided by the author. An interesting read nonetheless.
Could it be that the reason why plane changed its course was, because it got hijacked? The plane could still have crashed somewhere, only not at the place where it was last sighted.
