Hey Biden, you are snoozing and losing. Maybe he wanted his friend Xi to be boss there because Joe owed Xi one.
Findings by American anthropologist C. Loring Brace, University of Michigan, will surely be controversial in race conscious Japan. The eye of the predicted storm will be the Ainu, a "racially different" group of some 18,000 people now living on the northern island of Hokkaido. Pure-blooded Ainu are easy to spot: they have lighter skin, more body hair, and higher-bridged noses than most Japanese. Most Japanese tend to look down on the Ainu.
Brace has studied the skeletons of about 1,100 Japanese, Ainu, and other Asian ethnic groups and has concluded that the revered samurai of Japan are actually descendants of the Ainu, not of the Yayoi from whom most modern Japanese are descended. In fact, Brace threw more fuel on the fire with:
"Dr. Brace said this interpretation also explains why the facial features of the Japanese ruling class are so often unlike those of typical modern Japanese. The Ainu-related samurai achieved such power and prestige in medieval Japan that they intermarried with royality and nobility, passing on Jomon-Ainu blood in the upper classes, while other Japanese were primarily descended from the Yoyoi." The reactions of Japanese scientists have been muted so. One Japanese anthropologist did say to Brace," I hope you are wrong."
The Ainu and their origin have always been rather mysterious, with some people claiming that the Ainu are really Caucasian or proto-Caucasian - in other words, "white." At present, Brace's study denies this interpretation.
No, but NATO is trying to provoke Russia by absorbing most of its former members all the way up to Russia.
Yup a lot of the posters are failing to recognize that they’re making the same argument Russia used to invade Ukraine and calling it justified.
Are you an American?
Well, thank GOD Australia did away with civilian ownership of those horrid "ASSAULT RIFLES".....
Sure, low intelligence and arrogance combined.
Wonder if they could talk Russia into joining nato?
The aussies haven’t been crocodile dundee for some time now, have they?
“That’s not what makes it sad. It’s the thousands of US lives spent.”
Yes. That is sad. But it is worse. Much worse. Think of all the US lives lost and ruined from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afganastain. Enough to fill a small to medium state!
And for what?
To see this country turn into a decadent, woke country led by a decrypt old man (a thief) and the ruling class that has siphoned off millions for themselves while tossing the average US citizen to the wolves and lying about everything under the sun.
It is not a pretty site!
