It's just all a little bit silly, isn't it.

I like this tieless look Kim is going for in this nice white number. Fashion icon right here

Until the ability to make profit from arms manufacturing is ended we will never see countries give up their arsenals, or an end to conflict around the world. It's all about the $$$'s

I think this kind of thing happens almost anywhere, but it is the frequency which it happens in Japan and the lack of action by people that see it happening. Girls should be given self defence classes in school.

Going to Thailand to smoke it up

Sri Lanka does not need this project - the country is crying out for a waste management and recycling system, education reform, healthcare funding - New trains are way way way down the list - It just shows that Japanese companies don't really care about actually making these countries better places but instead making private profits.

I would trust Modi about as far as I could throw him. As dangerous a man as Xi or Putin.

haha this is amazing.....my great great grandchildren will be thrilled

I'm sure the millions of dollars in the bank had something to do with it as well.......

Ridiculous.

Just a good opportunity for Kishida to feel bigger and more significant than he actually is.

False hope. These politicians should be ashamed of themselves

Even though there were still may societal issues back then, the world seemed a brighter place before social media.

Next they'll start telling people you can only choose one grandparent to take with you and leave the others. As the molten rock rains down on their heads the people will be saying "Well....thank goodness we listened to that smart man Kishida. He has our interests at heart".

Oh, is that the party that allowed the murder of thousands of innocent muslims and forced many from their homes? I think we'll be okay with that party disappearing into a black hole thank you very much Australia and Japan. She should remain in a damp cell for the rest of her life.

Political stagnation created on purpose by the right-wing politicians for their own financial gain, and the benefit of their friends in big businesses. At least in the US people can have a voice. In Japan you can only have a voice if you're rich, or a man. It depends on your definition of stability

Rules, rules and more rules.

The entirety of Koreas nationalism is based on finger pointing across the sea of Japan

He doesn't care about the population crisis etc. The LDP only care about having enough men to feed a future army.

Amazing that in the UK there's growing poverty and homelessness, and people at the lower end of the economic scale are struggling beyond belief, supermarket shelves are bare...... but not to fret everyone, there's always money to build more weapons.....British people need protecting from their own government at the moment, not external threats.

This is really boring now. I mean, yes, the history is brutal, but the current leadership in Japan is not responsible, so just move on Korea. Let it go.

He's clearly as mad as a box of frogs.

What about refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Myanmar etc?....Oh white people only please.....

This is what happens when you destroy domestic farming and rely on imports from other sources. Take heed Japan.

This is exactly what we need right now. Superb!

It absolutely blows my mind that they are this willing to play God with the life's of the Japanese people. I mean, this is actually them saying "We don't care. Just keep the bucks rolling in".

As always, money and profit over what the people actually want.

The treatment she received at the hands of the immigration staff would have been totally different had she had white skin. The institutional racism in Japan is so obvious. If this woman had been a US, UK, or Canadian citizen, for sure they would have taken greater care of her.

It's nice to know they are moving the goal posts to suit their pockets.

Oh for goodness sake. Get over it already. They've gone. They're not Japan's any longer. This PM clearly is trying to bolster support by banging the war drum. Pathetic leadership once again.
