Japan isn’t to blame for the Kuril Islands disagreement. At the end of WW2 four disputed islands were occupied by Russia. Russia and Japan agreed that Russia would retain the two northernmost and Japan would have the two southernmost. America objected and told Japan if they allowed this agreement then the US would seize Okinawa for itself. This forced Japan to continue the negotiations. When the SMO began, Japan joined in with seizing Russian assets and supporting Ukraine’s anti-Russian aggression. So, Russia abandoned all negotiations and declared all four islands were now Russian territory.
Japan, like the EU, is not a sovereign entity. And just like the EU it happily shoots itself in the foot to please its master. This fake "democracy" where one's allowed to choose exclusively from a number of pre-approved American stooges (and in the case of an unexpected outlier, there's a palace coup waiting - like what happened in Italy with the 5 Star Movement - or a judicial coup - like in Romania with the fake Facebook ads scandal - or just plain simple election fixing - like in Moldava with the popular vote overturned by expat remote voting) is not sustainable, and the gigantic disaffection with politics paired with the terrible decline in the economy is an extremely volatile mix. The best move for Japanese interests would be dumping the US entirely and apply for membership into both SCO and BRICS, but we know very well that is never going to happen as long as the establishment is composed entirely by US slaves.
This synopsis on energy is very good.....except for one MAJOR factor - DaCity of London=DaSynagogue of Satan=Clown World - they're all different names for the same source of evil around us. I have no doubt that they're fully aware of the fragility of the economy of Western Civilization......so what's their next move?
Interesting research......but it sure ain't Trump....or any schrump elected to office. We're dealing with Satanic spiritual wickedness in high places that began with Lucifer and continues with churchianity acting as his willfully ignorant servants.
as so often Julian is very much on the ball! The "Power of Siberia 2" agreement is more than just an energy agreement. It represents a strategic reorientation of Russian gas – away from the pipelines that once fuelled Europe's prosperity and towards a single customer in the East. Europe is losing the cheap fuel that has underpinned its industrial strength for half a century, and with it any realistic chance of regaining access to Russian gas in the foreseeable future.
Russia is gaining a guaranteed sales market and consolidating a partnership with China that both heads of state describe as ‘boundless,’ while Beijing is securing a long-term supply on its own terms. The global energy map has been redrawn, and the full consequences will only become apparent over time. I hope I’ll get my piece about it finished by tomorrow 12 GMT as I also want to put some remarks about the nonsense meeting in Paris which took place allegedly for peace in Ukraine. These European are really loosing their mind.
It’s pompous and unnecessary. There is a tendency to use longer words and elaborate phrases in an attempt to sound clever and important.
“Social” is fine for all purposes. Some people perhaps dislike it because it remionds them of socialism. Too bad. That’s like avoiding “niggardly”. We must focus on denotation - connotation is nice for poetry but must not displace meaning.
“Scoietal” is like “orientated” for “oriented”. Technically there is a difference, but almost everyone who says “orientated” means “oriented” but just likes the extra syllable.
That way we would wind up being orientatated. Or orientatatated.
"Societal" is for when you're talking about "society". So you'd say "social skills" or "social interaction" when talking about small groups, but you'd say maybe "societal ills" to mean problems that exist with "society" in general rather than a few specific people

I think that's true, although sometimes 'social' can be used instead of 'societal'. You could say 'this child has social problems' AND 'this area has social problems'. It's probably more accurate for the last one to be 'societal problems' but you'll hear both.

Simply look at history - just today, James Delingpole wrote - https://delingpole.substack.com/p/how-to-murder-100-million-people?publication_id=714921&utm_campaign=email-post-title&r=y7h5a&utm_medium=email - an extensive summary of what they've ALWAYS done....'when all else fails let's have us a war' - and which they will lose....but at what cost to us all -
https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/2022/10/when-all-else-failslets-have-us-war.html?m=0 - that's just reality.
DaUS is no longer a sovereign nation - FACT!
......War being the lifeblood of the U.S. economy - https://edwardcurtin.com/trumps-contronymal-peace/ - so.....who is the bottom line ruler?

Julian, I do wish you would eschew "societal". It's a ghastly neologism, and "social" is always the proper word.
You feel the word societal is noncupatory?

LOL. My academic background betrays me.....
