Yeah, nuclear powers invading weaker countries that are neither nuclear powers nor are protected by any.
Itās not fear, they just refuse to forget. Besides, they have enough problems with their northern neighbor.
Yet.
Ever. Such a person aspiring to make that kind of name for themselves will get their country turned into a parking lot before they could ever achieve that.
Well, that type of sword-cutting was a key element of the war crimes/crimes against humanity of the Nanjing Massacre, which directly affected her family. I wouldn't blame you for using it but I'd understand why she'd be touchy about that.Do they?
I was giving a lecture once about the three sources, durations and ālevelsā of energy for powering muscles: CrP-10-15sec, anaerobic 30-40sec aerobicā¦you get the idea. I had little photos next to the text as examples of the activity that might utilise each source of energy as an aide memoir for the students. Next to CrP+ADPā> ATP+Cr, I had a photo of a Japanese swordsman cutting through a rolled straw mat (tameshigiri). All of a sudden a Chinese student stood up and started shouting incoherently. I didnāt know what was going on but I pinpointed her in the audience, approached her and asked her if there was a problem. She shouted in mixed English and Mandarin that her grandparents were at the Nanjing Massacre and she was protesting about me using the picture of a Japanese swordsman. A 19 year old girl in 2016 having been indoctrinated by her parents!
She was psychotic as it turned out over the subsequent years, her wealthy parents getting her through dental school and even buying her a practise in London on graduation.
That's why we have international crimes (genocide; war crimes; crimes against humanity; and aggression). And yeah, the Japanese and the Nazi leadership were judged for that. That being said, the current system still has pretty big accountability gaps, and I can think of a couple of Western countries that might not come out clean after an investigation for international crimes (and I'm not talking about the 1800s).
I get what you mean: invasion or full scale war against a country that has access to nuclear weapons appears unlikely today. But that doesn't mean it will never happen. And in the meantime we're seeing how Putin uses the nuclear threat to prevent military responses from Ukraine's allies.
Wouldn't bet on that. Putin is currently going for territorial expansion in violation of international law, to make a name for himself (he compares himself to Peter the Great).
You have a very low threshold for commencing war.
If the head of state or government of a neighboring country holds the title of "Emperor," the implication is that he has plans for your country to be part of it.
There are much more reliable tells that a country's planning for conquest than the title given to its leader in a foreign language... In Japanese, the original title is 天ē, meaning "heavenly sovereign".
A picture in a physiology lecture, in 21st century England, to young adults in their late teens, this one having been born in London and never even having visited China, causing that much upset? Iām sorry, but her parents are perpetuating a hatred for people long since dead and passing that loathing onto Japanese kids, some of which are her daughterās, age, some wearing maid costumes and entertaining people in cafes for a weekend job etc? Can you at least see the silliness in that and maybe even think itās slightly immoral of her parents?
So an implication is sufficient to commence a conflict? People are touchy, eh?
Kind of like an adult next door neighbor claiming to be attracted to one of your underaged children.
I don't know about that particular person's situation, nor whether she expressed hatred towards the Japanese in general. I was just commenting on the fact that the particular act of killing defenseless prisoners by cutting them with a sword was typical of the Japanese soldiers that committed the massacre. Some could also argue that it was encouraged by the military training at the Toyama Academy, where a new style of batto-jutsu was developed, with a strong emphasis on tameshigiri. Some Japanese also engaged in killing contests involving cutting down people with swords, at least one of which was triumphantly reported on in Japanese press: Hundred man killing contest - Wikipedia
So this is how the natives speak proper English?

While it is natural to think that any life-form would be be tuned to self-preserving behaviour, I am not sure it applies the the outliers, as they are the "variation" that evolution also "needs". The problem is if dangerous weapons get in the hands of one of the outliers. Even if these weapons are presumable under government controls, as we see parts of the world falling apart and gets corrupt, who knows where some of these bad weapons end up?
I was actually about to switch back to Android, then I started working there. I'd rather have the Android integration with my PC, but my iPhone works better for me at work.My deepest sympathy!
Much of that is true if you're using Android, too. If you want to switch to iPhone, you've got subscriptions and dependencies that make it hard to switch. It's less restrictive, of course, because you have a much wider range of hardware. That last point is the worst part for me - I'd rather buy inexpensive midrange phones, and there's really no such thing with iPhones, at least not really comparable to what's available in the Android ecosystem.
Well, here are the facts:
