Rahm Emanuel Is Bragging About Turning Japan into a Warmaking Nation

By David Swanson, World BEYOND War,  August 16, 2023

Hey World War II fans, Rahm Emanuel has got some great news for YOU! He’s turning Japan into a warmaking country, and bragging about it.

The Opponents of Email Have Destroyed It

Email is dead. Long live Email.
