With regard to the former U.S. President, President Trump, the Japanese media has been reporting the following news day after day.

"President Trump will be removed from office and impeached tomorrow"

After all, he has not been removed from office, impeached, or prosecuted by the judiciary (Though I don't know about the civil trial).

In other words, the news that the Japanese press was spreading was, at every turn, missing the point -- or rather,

"They kept on releasing news that was popular with the Japanese"

Because President Trump was not well-received by the Japanese people (including myself).

Incidentally, I don't know of any story of the media 'self-criticism' of the content or results of these news items.

Therefore, it may be a good idea to consider that "news that is popular with the Japanese people may continue to be broadcast on a priority basis" with regard to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In particular, we should pay special attention to the "Ukrainian military superiority" story.

This is because the news is "popular" among us Japanese.

I try not to make too many political statements because I don't like to be embarrassed later.

When I decide to make a political statement, I set my own criteria so that I do not later blame others (e.g., Internet news, etc.) for my decision.

My own criteria are, for example, self-interest or a comparison of where the news source originates.

I watched "BS World Documentary 'The Queen and the Coup'".

It was so much fun.

The conspiracy, in which the U.S. government, without telling the British government, "used the name of Elizabeth II to discourage the then King Pahlavi from fleeing the country," was carefully explained.

I thought it was 'more interesting than the movie' because it was full of stories about bribes and spreading disinformation (now called this fake news) in order to defeat political opponents.

Stories of state overthrow by U.S. intelligence that I can quickly recall include Guatemala, Cuba, Chile, and Nicaragua.

Since its spectacular military invasion of Vietnam, the U.S. has not overtly launched military invasions (although it does so when it remembers (e.g., the Gulf War and Iraq War)), but has basically continued to meddle with neighboring countries through intelligence.

Even Russia would have intelligence of considerable size and capability, and would be one of the best in the world at cyber intrusion.

So I think,

"What is Russia doing?"

If they suddenly flowed into another country by force of arms without doing any intelligence or cyber attacks -- I think they are now unquestionably 'stupid'.

Maybe they tried, but it didn't work out, I think.

I am truly disgusted and offended by the pre-generational approach of recreating the terrible landscapes and conditions of people in the present day, in 2022, as in "European war movies of 1940."

As that "rude junior" said...

"Couldn't they have done something more like "cyber warfare", if not "space warfare"?"

I do agree with him.
