The Day That Lives in Infamy
84 years ago, the devastating surprise attack on Naval Base Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy claimed the lives of 2,403 American service members, wounded 1,178, and resulted in significant damage or loss of 8 battleships, 3 cruisers, and more than 180 aircraft. On this fateful day in 1941, 353 aircraft descended upon the base, unleashing destruction in under 90 minutes. Despite the unpreparedness, courageous Marines and @USNavy Sailors mounted a defense, engaging the enemy with anti-aircraft fire and mounting rescue efforts.
A key factor in America's eventual recovery was the fortunate absence of all U.S. aircraft carriers from Pearl Harbor during the assault. The attack served as a pivotal event, compelling the United States to formally enter World War II. Just six months later, the U.S. would secure a crucial victory at the Battle of Midway, where the newly created 3rd and 6th Marine Defense Battalions played a crucial role in defending the island and stopping the Japanese advance across the Pacific.

@JayStrickland6@zhao_dashuai Because right now Bhutan is an Indian puppet state and India is the only sovereign state that didn't resolve its land border dispute with China.

SecWar Hegseth likens Pentagon bureaucracy to USSR and China
'It's one of the world's last bastions of central planning and dictates by five-year plans'

@SecondRingSZN There is no need to police Chinese people's speech. PRC is a 民主 country and people have the right to express themselves. Without fringe views being publicly expressed, people actually get the impression China is a totalitarian regime and Chinese people lack original thoughts.
@TheCh0wCh0w@SnowLionRoar_8@loongkingdom China has a trade surplus and an excess of males. These market imbalances require market based solutions. China needs more high quality foreign services. I hope the K-visa is like working holiday visa for Japanese girls rather than H1B for Indian males.
@SirKapaLot3@nationaljuche I suspect gov agencies have planted backdoors there, but I don't have concrete proof. But even looking at their public history of compliance with western governments and their political interference in HK, Iran and other regions I would never trust them.
