One of the 'leaders' was a bipolar schizophren, who's plan was to eradicate all those with Jewish ancestry, Endoslung der Judenfrage. A relatively small, somewhat landlocked Country requiring massive importation of resources - requiring fear tactics and a perverted sense of Nationalism to motivate itself.

German engineering, far superior to anything else at the time - lacked resources, manpower, and really was - doomed.

The other, 'led' by Centuries old traditions and hierarchy. Itself the perfect balance of precision & warfare. Again, reliant on other Countries for importation of resources, had it not been for that very thing!- likely would have succeeded in its goal to take over the Pacific area of the globe.

However, their 'divine' leader, the god-man. Hirohito was just that. A man. The fallibility and insane ideas that spring from thinking David can best Goliath, are perversions of reality.

With every Japanese soldier dead, every battleship sunk - so was the inevitability.

In essence, the delusions of grandeur blurred lines of reason. One truly taking power, himself on grips of insanity. Other, holdover from Centuries ago. Society adhering to a perverted ideology that their winning is divinely inspired. Doomed for failure from get go.

not much of a plan.

Lots of solid arguments that Hirohito did not have the supreme power that the world perceived at the time.

The authorities in Colorado said he didn't break any laws. I don't know where he was at in this video but he was in a personal vehicle. It's the NBA with the issue.

Yes, and since it is their organization, they get to make their own rules. He could challenge it in court, if he wanted, but until then, he needs to abide by their rules. Not that hard, really.

If we win the SC series next weekend, we might host. (I think that's right.) Let's win out and see!

You'd have to think so for sure.

Just hope we sweep this wknd and jump up in the rankings bigly.

3-12 on the road doesn't give me the fuzzy feelings vs a good squad. But crazier things have happened.

Also, at the time they came to the decision to join Germany, Germany was carving Russia up and driving towards Moscow. It looked like there would be nothing to stop them. If Japan had entered the war by attacking Russia instead of the US, most of Europe might still be under Nazi control.

That would be wild to see a simulated war game of how that might have played out.

My biggest question is how Japan would attack Russia. Their nearest entry point is basically Siberia and thousands of miles away from anything meaningful. Sure disaster. Maybe go naval all the way around the Bering Strait, avoid all the icebergs(?) and through the White Sea and land north of St Petersburg beside Finland? Long ways, but the land route is too ridiculous.

The more I think about it the more I think he went to that JuCo for grades, not talent.

He's also an alcoholic, and there's loads of videos being leaked of him wandering around Athens drunk. Just like he did in Texas before the draft. He gets wasted by himself and wanders around belligerently banging on doors.

Georgia and ESPN fed us a feel-good story of a walk-on who left for JuCo, came back and took the starting job, and led Georgia to two titles.... nah, he couldn't graduate after 7 years and he has off-field issues. They wouldn't give him a scholly so he walked on, had to transfer until he got his grades back up.

He is a moron but if he messes up and a gun is involved then he should deal with the consequences. Gun owners should be responsible with the power they are granted and prepared to face the backlash if they behave irresponsibly.

Yeah I guess I just don't agree that the act of having a gun in a vehicle is irresponsible. Also having a gun on camera is not irresponsible. This one is people just looking for a story. People want to make him look bad for even owning a gun.

If he likes fire arms I think it would be more beneficial to have him train with legit instructors and learn how to respect fire arms. He has the money where he can do a lot of cool things at ranges. But instead they try to make him just dribble and don't do things they don't want him to (which is his constitutional right). I'm personally against employers having a say over peoples personal life's, but I know corporations have more rights than people in this country.

I think the big issue here is one of cultural perception. If he were to make a video in his car giving a thorough review of a handgun, with verbal disclaimers about safety and responsibility, it'd be one look. Making a video dancing in the car, brandishing a firearm, with a friend that's making gangland-esque pistol hand gestures may come across as quite different.

I'd say this is a response to the portrayal of a culture that's perpetrated and glamorized senseless crime and violence, as much as anything else. And I'd say that any business or corporation has the right to distance themselves from such if they feel it's in their best interest.

They already fought one war in the early 1900s which Japan won. Russo-Japanese War - Wikipedia

He just needs to be standing by some woods, with a shotgun, then it would be just fine, even applauded.

Guns are fine...sometimes and for some. But when Killer Mike says his folks should buy up all the guns they can, well you'll hear a different tone real quick.

For sure.

But a wildly different sort of battle close to Japan and far from Moscow. If Japan had to invade Russia, its centers of government and population, man it would've taken so many resources. Just a nuts operation to even undertake.
