  3. #Japan marks 81st anniv. of #WWII end, w/o "remorse" in PM's address🤔
    " #Takaichi known for her #hawkish views on national security.. fell short of using te words employed at last yr's memorial by her predecessor Ishiba, who vowed to keep in mind Japan's #remorse over te war & expressed its "resolute pledge to renounce war".. B4 te late Abe took office as #PM for 2nd time 2012, Japanese #leaders had consistently mentioned 🇯🇵's aggression & expressed remorse at te ceremony"

  4. Well. The writer #DavidArmstrong is correct, that didn’t make any waves in the press here in Australia (not a good thing IMO). So why not? The Kylie thing was big, very big, so much so that #AlboPM apologised for it. Yet:

    “When Anthony Albanese confessed in a podcast he would like to spend some very private time with Kylie Minogue, the public and political reaction was a swift, strong negative. Albanese apologised.

    But in the same podcast, looking to please his host, comedian Nikki Osborne, Albanese made a joke at the expense of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

    He recalled that when Takaichi visited Australia in May, she had brought melons as a gift. Osborne made a crack about Pamela Anderson and Albanese grinned, cupped his hands in front of his chest, and said: “She brought two. As you do.”

    Albanese mocked the first female prime minister in Japanese history and leader of Australia’s closest security partner in Asia. He did not apologise.

    The disparity struck Japanese journalist and academic Waka Ikeda. “An Australian pop star’s dignity commanded a national conversation; a Japanese prime minister’s didn’t,” Ikeda said.

    Takaichi’s gift, she said in a column in The Japan Times, had been chosen with diplomatic care – Crown Melons from Shizuoka (the Mount Fuji region), the most prized fruit in Japan.

    “In Japan, a single Crown Melon can cost more than a fine bottle of wine,” she said. “Its perfection, based on the Japanese artisan spirit of takumi, is what you bring when you wish to honour someone.”

    Ikeda said that what happened after the podcast was the real story – because almost nothing happened. Albanese had never spoken about the Takaichi joke; the Minister for Women, Katy Gallagher, had remained silent, and then-Victorian premier Jacinta Allan had brushed it aside as lighthearted.

    Ikeda recalled that when Allan had been called a witch, Albanese had said it was “completely unacceptable to demean, objectify, belittle or offend women”.

    Japan had also declined to comment. “Japan needs Australia on trade and security,” Ikeda said. “[T]he first female prime minister, fighting Beijing, cannot afford a quarrel over her own chest.

    “[Takaichi’s] dignity was weighted against the alliance and found lighter.” (Source: johnmenadue.com/post/2026/08/i )

    Not only is our PM a political lightweight in the eyes of this tooter (for his lack of gumption on progressive legislation), but he is showing himself to be quite disrespectful of women generally. Not the kind of ‘man’ I wish to represent me, not in the least.

    R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Please….

    I am a #whistleBlower against #AccentureFederalServices and the US Department of Veterans Affairs. I had voted #democrat until that point.

    Then, I was brutalized by police and jailed, 4 times by the #Biden regime, and once by the #Trump regime ( extrajudicially incarcerated, without trial, or due process ).

    All charges were dropped, as I fought in court. They never had any reason to arrest me. It was an attempt at whistleblower intimidation.

    This is my account:

    whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/

    I have been #homeless since 2023 , except for a few months.

    If you had told me that both sides were the same, in 2022, I would have laughed. Now, I believe it.

    Healthcare was complicated and expensive.
    People wanted Universal Healthcare.
    So Obama sold us #ObamaCare
    Now, #healthcare is complicated, expensive, AND mandatory.
    More money for “the healthcare industry”.

    After the market crash of 2008, where many Americans lost their retirement savings, it was #Obama who stopped the investigation into the #corruption behind the crash.

    Trump is not much better than Obama.

    Yes, both sides are the same, and they both work for the rich.

    I am now in #Japan , seeking political asylum, and have been homeless for a while, and without medical care. I have had to go hungry for days at a time, a few times, as every NPO aimed at helping refugees, has denied me help.

    With all due respect, #Takaichi san’s #government is violating the UN convention on #refugees by denying me basic protections and #HumanRights

  7. En multipliant les campagnes massives de recrutement, le pouvoir tente de la récupérer pour en faire le bras armé de sa politique.

  8. At a Beijing summit, Xi Jinping criticized Japan's "remilitarization" and rising defense spending, targeting PM Sanae #Takaichi. Donald Trump responded that Japan needs a more assertive security stance to counter North Korean threats.

  9. Due to its wartime past, #Japan adopted a pacifist #Constitution that limits its #military to self-defence. Now Prime Minister Sanae #Takaichi is calling for 'advanced discussions' on revising the Constitution, setting up a panel tasked with reviewing the country's security and defence policies as regional tensions escalate. We speak with Giulio Pugliese, Director of the EU-Asia Project at the European University Institute.
