Yeah, what's strategic about Ireland's position as the first country NATO reinforcements from America would reach, and as the landfall site for most transatlantic cables?

Yeah, this account isn't good on actual facts. But it supports Trump, so what else should one expect?

As trolls go, you're not very impressive. Perhaps you should slouch off back to Twitter, where you're more likely to be valorised by your peers – by which I mean, other morons.

You are equating two different things.
Russia is fighting for territory.
Ukraine is fighting for existence.
Only Russia is considering "the price of land." Ukraine is considering "the price of there being a Ukraine."
Americans used to understand this. Clearly many – including you – don't anymore.

I'm not making a claim: I'm reporting official Japanese government figures. But it's really weird that you're responding like you feel personally attacked by them.

"Government figures in the 2020s reveal that 1 in 12.5, or 8.1 percent, of Japanese women have been raped. Of that number, less than 2 percent reported the sexual violence to the police."
And perhaps you should ask the Chinese and Koreans how they view Japan's historic attitude to rape.

That sounds about right. I remember being surprised, as an 11-year-old, to read of Biggles downing a bottle of whiskey a day but not feeling it, because "men don't, when they're that far gone."
