Korean Opposition Party Using Fukushima Water Issue to Attack President Yoon
The Fukushima waste water issue is new anti-Japan issue the Korean left can demagogue for many more years bash Japan and Korean conservatives with because it is easy to demagogue. This is because most people don’t read up on what the radioactive waste water is which is harmless in the doses being discharged. Most people also don’t realize South Korea and other countries dump waste water from their nuclear plants into the ocean as well. If these leftists are so concerned about the environment how come they are not protesting outside South Korean nuclear plants?:
South Korea’s main opposition party warned it would take a series of actions condemning the Yoon Suk Yeol administration’s policies on Japan as Tokyo began a phased release of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant on Thursday afternoon.
Rep. Lee Jae-myung, the head of the Democratic Party of Korea, said in an emergency meeting gathering all of the party’s lawmakers that Yoon, with his “leniency with Japan,” was “no less responsible for the destruction of our seas being undertaken by the Japanese government.”
“The Yoon administration practically acted as a spokesperson for Japan, even as it was going to pollute our waters with radioactive waste,” he said. “Our party will not stop fighting against Japan’s reckless acts of environmental destruction.”

You can read more at the link, but t
China is releasing 100x as much Tritium every year. And we might find out, if we looked, that South Korea was already releasing more than Japan, too (for example, Kori is said to have released 2.5x as much in 2021).

When you see this type of protestor, they are either in CCP payroll or feeble-minded and provoked by someone who is.
No stop making me defend those dang Nipponese.
America has been dismantling domestic Tritium production to such an extent there is growing concern (and suspicion) that our nuclear weapons do not work (fizzle instead of boom), yet other countries are producing so much it’s considered waste. I don’t think a major conflict with “near peer” adversary will go well precisely because we wrongly presume we are not in fact the “near peer.” US failure in Ukraine should’ve been a massive wake up call, and yet it is not.
“US failure in Ukraine should’ve been a massive wake up call, and yet it is not”
What?
Failure?
What are you talking about?
So far, it is an overwhelming success.
…as long as you realize some sort of victory over Russia is not the goal. Russia is simply a tool to ensure the American flavor of globalism becomes the dominate one, Europe deindustrializes and runs faster on the path to neo-feudalism, European energy prices keep their industry noncompetitive, the corporatists can position themselves for their first test of replacing government, all the old Soviet and domestic hardware has been removed from NATO to be replaced with fancy new American equipment and their associated supply chains, old American equipment has been given to Ukraine piece-by-piece to make way for upgrading America’s military (but always piece-by-piece and dumbed doen to ensure a photo-op and bragging rights, but never in a way that can avhieve a combined arms victory), the American treasury gets looted (of IOUs) by all the regular suspects, the groundwork is laid for a larger war that will reset the global financial system/erase the financial sins of America’s past/and keep the world in disorder while America remains dominate.
There is nothing but victory here.
You just have to stop thinking with old-timey definitions.
Fing Commies. CCP pollutes Korean air and water, rapes their fisheries and not a peep.
