Maybe, but I think it was in the interest of both
Maybe so. Certainly not from any point of strength
I mean…there two of them. He could have stopped the second.
After spending a fortune on developing it, nobody else imagining its power and the potential casualties of attacking the home islands, I think it was always going to be used once proven to be a viable weapon.
Indeed. Although perhaps a less ‘stained’ figure may have been a better option. Hirohito certainly got off Scott free
Fair enough. I think it was what the Japanese had offered in the first case, so maybe it was agreed on but apparently not included in the final surrender.
But that wasn’t the Japanese offered, they offered surrender with Hirohito remaining in a reduced roll. This was their condition, as far as I understand it.
I suppose you’re right about the emperor, although his god-like position meant that his rubber stamp would mean the country would blindly follow those decisions. Certainly it’s more nuanced than a tweet could do justice too. Interesting though
Not quite, the surrender terms weren’t those of unconditional surrender as they were in Europe.
I suspect that the outcome was agreed upon. But I suspect incredibly minimal and Hirohito in place but basically as a figurehead was as much in the Allies’ interest as the Japanese’s
I agree. Vance’s statement is ridiculous and Japan’s surrender was in no way similar to giving up chunks of your country.
That’s a negotiation isn’t it? We surrender if the empire stays Ok, but he has to say he’s not a deity That’ll do, I guess Not much of a negotiation, and I suspect that 1 or 2 bombs more would have led to the unconditional surrender. But there was a very minimal negotiation
It’s a bit of semantics I think. Japan offered surrender if the emperor stayed on. The allies accepted. It’s not the unconditional surrender that was demanded, but wasn’t really much of a negotiation.
To be fair, they negotiated the emperor staying on. The rest? Pretty much unconditional
The Japanese did kind of negotiate the emperor staying in place, the Germans….not too much negotiating there
All those post May Blitz photos of central Liverpool are incredible. This one is probably one of my favourite photos in the world
And five finals on the bounce too
No Merseyrail? Second oldest in the world after London
4 great players, and one who was only dodgy knees away from being the best ever
So blank page then?
Will the free market party only apply this to Apple, or the multitude of other overseas producers?
Will we ever see a top flight player manager again? There have been some crackers. Dalgleish won the double doing it, Gullit, Hoddle. Didn’t Vialli too. And the great John Aldridge at Tranmere (though not top flight)
Being able to march isn’t in my top 1000 priorities when I think of a police force
Seems like a plan and a half to me
And a celebration to match
Not wanting to be picky, but Derby looks more like West Derby
The thing that convinced me is that there was no apparent protest from the Atlético players.
Why Brazil?
So apart from micro countries, only 3 have their own capital as their closest capital
Typical coastal elites not letting interior communities benefit
@richardosman1.bsky.social well this has thrown a spanner in to the works of the last pod. Any chance of revisiting this?
When does Amorim start to be at risk of losing his job?
Both sides playing suicide passes at the back too
I mean you definitely can shoot flags. I’ve never picked up a gun, but I bet it’s really easy
He escuchado el fundador en un podcast de @thesportsagents.com Dejó a los presentadores boquiabiertos. Un zumbado a toda regla
I mean, apart from the millions of deaths that happened when India and Pakistan separated
With them being across the board, unless the domestic production has the possibility to increase capacity (both in terms of the production sites and the number of skilled workers, won’t this only affect the end user?
Justin Webb is doing a very good job of losing all credibility. Some of the takes on his podcast are mind-numbing.
Do i not like that
If I’m going to fund the far right, why not back the originals
He could still claim to have a physical problem and become one of the greatest ever snowballers
Ireland and Portugal?
Incredible all the quality we got on the cheap and spent that on him. We were just surviving by selling the top quality youngsters. That production line couldn’t last forever. Nolan, Tank, Simonsen, McGreal, Vickers….
Is he still the club’s most expensive signing?
Haaland magic or Sachez gift?
I came to say the same thing. ‘Supports right wing parties’. No, he supports far right parties. We don’t know what he was thinking at that moment, but we sure as hell know what he thinks, because he’s told us. He hasn’t even denied it. Very poor from Americast
Rather them than me. Kinnell
It’s vi always a good time for a Chris Waddle video ( unless he’s singing, obviously)
“Accused of”, for fuck’s sake.
@newsagents.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com @maitlis.bsky.social love to hear your opinion of this. It was quite literally jaw dropping
Tick on The Wirral
They needed one last year, in August and still do now.
Seriously underrated player. Can’t think of many players with a better left foot
Controlled with both hands, but he’s just not a top level footballer
And a verb was born
Max Power would like a word
Victoire
As the point was made that with an Indy win there wouldn’t have been an EU referendum, if the Indy Ref had been after the EU one, I’m pretty sure independence would have won.
I thought the exact same thing
I’d be more worried if the government weren’t meeting with their incoming US counterparts
Fuck, I had no idea
He’ll tell his grandkids he dribbled past 4 defenders, rounded the keeper and slotted it home
I always found him so annoying. These pictures reinforce that. I know it’s not a popular opinion.
Maybe the “it” she was referring to wasn’t the sandwich 🤷♂️
The “waiter, there is too much pepper in my paprikash” scene is one of my favourites. Meg Ryan even looks over to Rob Rainer to see how the hell she was meant to react to Billy Crystal.
Also not employed by the BBC, at least on master chef. Agreed though, he’s dirty old twat.
I’ll surround myself with shite, so I look good is clearly the best way to run a country or business. Much better than employing top level people to compensate for the leader’s weak points.
The ideal thing would be a cold December, then nice weather. None of this wind and rain rubbish either, just cold with the odd day of snow.
You were right though mate. Just doesn’t feel like Christmas in the warm. It’s not meant as a flex, but cold Decembers are something I miss.
They’re good, but it’s not Kevin Pressman, is it?
3% !!!!!!
Yes, to suspire is to utter a deep sigh. It’s all about breath, as are ‘inspire’ (to breathe life into an idea/person), ‘expire’ (breathe out), ‘perspire’ (to breathe through), ‘conspire’ (to breathe together), and ‘spirit’, because the ancients believed the spirit was breathed into the body.
Can't believe how well my first day with the merch went. Thank you so so much to everyone who got involved. Obviously the people who purchased, the people who shared it and the people who liked and wished me luck. I really appreciate you all ❤️ orders that are made and ready to go 👇🏻
I’ve recently found myself various calling Italian soccer players from the 90s ‘handsome devils’. Does that mean what I think you mean that it means?
Hasn’t music basically been a about sex since, like, forever?
Another rock-hard, pure class, handsome devil that played at the back for Milan
Very true. I mean, I’ve just sent the video to my kids
Any thought that Salah might go to the new MLS side in San Diego? The owner is a multi millionaire Egyptian
Full laces top corner. Must be strange being a top flight keeper but being remembered for the penalties you took
Good video, but I can’t agree with Mark, he still seems an absolute muppet.
On the streets of Liverpool, there is a humanitarian crisis A perfect storm of problems means more and more people are finding themselves homeless & sleeping rough & it’s getting worse - it’s a situation playing out across the country A difficult 🧵 on what I’ve found reporting on this situation
Aren’t electric blankets much less energy efficient than heating?
Finally getting to watch A Very Royal Scandal. Loving it so far. Apart from showing @emilymaitlis.bsky.social as a top journo. It shows her as being a sweet eating, sweary person with a tendency to arrive late. We’ve seen 2 out of 3 of those on @thenewsagents.com But does she usually arrive late?
Forrest Gump: Life is like ... 🤔
John Bishop’s brother Eddie at the end there. Great night #SWA
Also the inspiration for a great Paul Simon song
King’s Regiment Monument with St George’s Hall behind. Liverpool, December 2022
What the hell is a woke sandwich? Seasoned with Black and white pepper?
Imagine those 6 playing together.
And all whilst also being a handsome devil too.
Hawking shot from day one.
Sunrise over the Mersey.
Thanks mate.
What a player. Absolute legend at Tranmere
Similar spot to one of mine a couple of years back.
