    NASA's night light map of East Asia

    population density is also a factor. Tibet has 3 million people, and that land area is as large as western europe. Makes no sense for it to have as much light. NK has light in only one city.

    UN Security Council (P5) Unspoken Superpower Requirements

    If France cannot claim the de facto leadership role over the EU from Germany, then I think France should give its power to Germany. UK also needs to be an independent player, minor rival over US at least, otherwise, it doesn't deserve its position anymore. India should ask UK to give the...

    Is south Korea the second largest pop culture exporter

    Japan's pop culture power is definitely better than SK's because Japan has been developed longer. K-pop only became since 2005. I was in a California HS with a bunch of Chinese Americans then, and that's when I realized that girls were getting wet over K-pop crap as well as Japanese Anime. In...

    Akihito apologizes for aggression and orders Abe to Beijing on anniversary of surrender to China

    Emperor has a soft spot for China. He was first Emperor to visit China in 1992. The Chinese side invited him despite the past war to improve Japanese ties (although it was more likely to de isolate China from 1989 protest).

    Is south Korea the second largest pop culture exporter

    No, but SK is not doing bad. I think UK have music that are more popular world wide (Spice Girls, Beatles) , and it's actor and actresses (Kiera Knightley) are much more famous throughout the world. Also harry potter. Also TV shows like Dr Who has a strong nerd following. Japan has a strong...

    Russian president to turk ambassador:"tell your dictator President he can go to hell along with ISIS

    People don't really understand Russian culture, but Putin was not hitting on Chinese first lady. It is just standard for a gentleman in Russia to give his coat to the lady.

    The New Face of Japan: Ariyana Miyamoto , Miss Universe Japan 2015

    Interesting. Who exactly are Japanese? Weren't there originally Ainu people in Japan that looked more like Phillipines people, and then around 2600 years ago, people from North East Asia migrated to Japan?

    India, Brazil and Vietnam may buy France Mistral Helicopter Carriers

    800m each is too much for Vietnam. Even if they buy it, it will be too much of a technological leap. Vietnam lacks the attack helicopters and operational experience as well. India is a bit better than Vietnam Brazil not quite sure. Best candidates are surely Canada and Australia, countries...

    70 year anniversary of a horrible incident: Hiroshima bombing

    Use your head a bit, using the bomb against USSR would trigger WW3. The bomb was used for many reasons. One of them was to scare the Soviets, and show the world that America now has the power to annihilate all life on earth, and not scared to use it. It consolidated America as a new superpower...
