Thankfully the Russians can't build their tanks like they build their chairs.

Um. How concerned are we about the re-arming of Germany? Especially in light of potential Political changes? Ukraine's two biggest allies, the US and Germany could potentially flip and I understand that Germany approved a bill to spend a significant amount of money for new arms.

ermany's new leftist populist party, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – Reason and Justice (BSW), is pressing mainstream parties to make significant concessions as they negotiate potential coalition agreements in three eastern states.

The BSW's demands center on halting military aid to Ukraine, a move that risks fracturing Germany's strong support for Kyiv, according to Nov. 3 Reuters report.

Germany remains Ukraine's second-largest military supporter, however, the BSW's stance is challenging this pro-Ukraine consensus, particularly in states like Brandenburg, Thuringia, and Saxony, where the BSW recently achieved electoral success.

BSW leader Sahra Wagenknecht, known for her Russia-friendly, NATO-skeptical positions, is pushing for any coalition partners to align with her party’s anti-war stance.

I would be more concerned about the re-arming of Japan. The far right conservatives in Japan have continued to hold power there and Japan has consistently down played their atrocities all over Asia in WW2. Compare that to Germany and how they handle WW2.

[Ozy_Flame]

The LDP is far right? What? Champions of Article 9 since .... WW2??

I'm very interested to hear you explain this one.

[activeStick]

Sorry, my wording was super poor there, so my bad. I was trying to refer to Nippon Kaigi still having a ton of power in Japan in politics and really not ever losing popularity. But yes, LDP is not who I was referring to.

[Ozy_Flame]

I'm not sure I would call them popular. The general Japanese electorate is divided on them.

For those wondering what this is, it's like an "in your face" lobby group element that has permeated the ruling federal party in Japan, but is not an outright think tank nor politcal party. Best I can equate it to is a Take Back Alberta cadre of right-wing political brats who get uncomfortably close to leadership.

Ummm who the hell would be against Japan in this day and age. RT, twitter users have been saying this recently. If you want to talk about controlling power, maybe start with China and their society of control and their influence and arms? China is nothing like Japan. They are way more authoritarianism, controlling, and right wing.

They jail journalists like in russia, actively spy and are brought up in Canada and the US for spying. Has anyone ever heard about a Japan spy in the past 10 years? GMAFB. The only thing stopping them from gains is an all out war and Japan would not be the enemy to the west.

Why is it that you seem to bring up RT points or how you think that Japan is right wing as China? You are saying that by bringing up Japan in this thread and them being armed(very similar to Russia and Ukraine.)

Taiwan should be free and Japan is an ally at this point..

You basically copy and paste what other right wing sites say, i would diversify your opinion, this isn't the first time you regurgitate RT.

If Japan and SK join the fight, then that is a happy day for every Ukrainian. I am not saying you are a russian sympathizer or a trumper who bought into internet spam, but you are repeating their thoughts.

Slava Ukraine

I'm not sure I agree with you. The late Abe had more than 80% of his cabinet filled by people who were also members of Nippon Kaigi. Japan's current Prime Minister, Ishiba is also a member of Nippon Kaigi and is pretty well known for his conservative leanings including re-militarization and even recently reiterated their plans for constitutional revision.

But anyways, we are taking this waaay off topic! I blame Locke...

And how has China affected the Ukraine Russian war? Now how has Japan? China supplies arms that are used to kill Ukrainians daily. Does Japan? Again GMAFB

You brought it up, Ukraine needs all the help they can get and if there were concerns about Japan, they would have already helped Russia like china has.

I don't blame Locke, I blame you for bringing up Russian talking points, while not even mentioning China. Though trump and Russian media love Xi, why wouldn't you...

You seem like a good person, I just want people to be aware that in a few threads you basically repost RT and China news and do not give a crap about Japan or Ukraine

Edit - After googling Activestick's post by copy and pasting, it basically it says that the right wing does have influence in Japan, and China and Russia are spreading narratives for nationalism in Japan. This is just a piece of propaganda to drive a wedge between North America, Ukraine and Japan. It looks like Japan will not vote in a trump, so now they are selling Japan as a threat.

Noone actually believes Activestick woke up today and thought Japan is a threat to Ukraine, just a useful poster to them. Stop posting that crap. Locke brought up Germany, not Japan. Enough

[Sultan]

P.S. Thank you Cheese, if there are others like me, we really appreciate the updates and they give hope and are informative. Thank you again.

[Samonadreau]

There are two countries in East Asia that we need to be worried about right now and Japan isn't one of them.

Anyways back on topic.

Germany is in a place where they need to build up arms since they don't have a lot, and do it quickly and high tech since theyre in a demographic death spiral.. With the U.S. taking less interest in global affairs they're one place that loses a lot of protection given the number of U.S. bases there. Plus the Germans without Russian energy are in a bind for their Industrial needs

So if Russia was to take Ukraine, you can bet that Germany and Russia will both be eying up who has influence in Poland, Hungary, Czechia, and Austria.

I am not sure what you mean by 'If Russia was to take Ukraine' means, they already have taken parts of it and it is a war.

Second, Germany is giving a lot equipment and munitions and are second or third in aid are they not? That could change if the bots and illiterate social media users are swayed. Do you happen to know when Germany's next election is?

I would advise not to include the Polish, they know nothing but war and have one of the best militaries in the world. Let alone their special forces.

Your grandpa's old Polish jokes no longer apply. GROM and other units are way more advanced and they sure don't want to be under anyone's thumb again, and they know it is coming. Never will they become part of Russia again. Never.

While I wouldn't give Germany or Japan a pass for their behaviour in '39 we should also remember we judge them because they lost, the British Empire killed way more people, hell we sat by and watch 2 to 3 million starve in the Punjab during the war while shipping vast amounts of rice out of India, we were maybe smarter but just as racist and murderous

hmmm, this seems like maybe it should be a new thread for those grievances. I was not alive in '39, I doubt you were either.

Russian invaded Ukraine, it's been going on for years now. As a Canadian, I get along with all of the races you mentioned, because I judge people on their merits and they do not judge me on things from 100 years ago. Your selfish ass, wants to bring up some other war or grievance, the trump RT playbook. Enough.

Just another RT troll who can't keep on topic.

P.S. Russia is doing all they can to stop grain from Ukraine to the rest of the world. How about the Black sea, all the fighting there? Kindly, stop being so stupid. You didn't post once about all the grain shipments that Russia sank for Africa and the middle east. Keep reading RT and twitter, or maybe google how much grain was lost to other countries from Russia's blockade in the past 5 years, how many silos destined for needy people that Russia destroyed? GFAFB

Just another useful idiot. I await you answer, in tonnes, of how much was lost that was destined for countries in need that Russia sank so you can compare it to the British from 100 years ago? Tip: 3 years ago, Ukraine without a Navy used boat drones to clear the Black Sea, but they still lose some to this day and they are bombed by Russia so those in need do not get it. That is this year, wtf is wrong with you? You bring up 1939, and not bring up the past 5 years of food loss, did your account get hacked by russian bots?
