Sounds like you have programmed Manus to hypersensitivity as regards Japan, perhaps not as hypersensitive as China’s Osaka consul who threatened decapitation of new Japanese leader but still off the mark. Either that or Manus is purposefully obtuse.

Conclusory remarks from ‘drivel’ post:

In summary, while parallels in economic dirigisme, nationalist ideology, and geopolitical assertiveness are well-substantiated, they are tempered by modern realities like globalization and deterrence, making outright replication unlikely. The analogy serves as a warning for potential escalation but risks exaggeration, as China’s scale and integration differ profoundly from Japan’s isolationist aggression.

Lol!

The infamous decapitation post:

Sounds like the diplomat is a nutcase:

Nice.

Seems like Manus caught the highly contagious Trump Derangement Syndrome.
