Japan still had some hardware, yes. What they didn’t have was trained and experienced military personnel to operate said equipment. Nor did they have any fuel.

True. The supposed grown-ups currently in charge of ruining russia behave (far) worse than the kids in Lord of the Flies.

I would encourage you to read the Operation Downfall wiki, specifically the Japanese defense of the islands section, Operation Ketsugo. I'm not disagreeing with you that the nation was beaten militarily, and they knew it, however they still had considerable military assets at their disposal. Their navy was heavily damaged but still useable for home island defense, and their airforce was still going to be a problem. By the time Okinawa was captured, Japan was already losing. That didn't stop Okinawa from being an absolute bloodbath for the Allied forces.
I would also add that Japan being an island is exactly why it wasn't beaten as badly as Germany. There's no denying that. Just by virtue of the differences of the theaters, Japan losing was never going to be as bad as Germany losing without a fullscale naval invasion.

Most of the British public want to rejoin the EU, and the Labour party will probably hold a rejoin referendum some time after they win the 2024 election.

Since Russia attacked Ukraine and the clergy decided to be political not religious and spout the attacker's views and or given aide to such attackers.
Propaganda to incite violence or take over can be considered a crime, it goes beyond basic free speech.

Moscow admits it has no friends.
Just some some dude who wants cheap oil.
And some other dude who wants free real estate.

The richest member countries have a vested interest in seeing ukraine win. And its not that different from directly funding ukraine anyway.

Damn, I know the gut punch of a deployment extension. Feel for the sailors listening to that 1MC when they heard it. Absolutely sucks. Hats off to all the Enlisted folk doing it out there.

Western "democracy" is hardly actually democratic, it's de facto controlled by moneyed and propertied elites. If you think people actually choose their governments under this system you just bought their line.
