>Maksim had signed up for the army first, in 2022, shortly after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. “He wanted to follow my example and enlist. I warned him that war isn’t pretty … but mentally he was ready,” he said of his brother.
“I am proud of Daniil,” Maksim said. “He always said he wanted to fight Nazis and fascists there,”
At least they died fighting Nazis. Truly the greatest generation.

Hey too all 'Westerners' on their high horse... Thousands die on the Ukrainian side too... There are military conscripts in Ukraine, thousands without the means to leave Ukraine, are forced into military service. This war is funded by the US and its allies who couldn't care less about the 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers who died in this conflict already as long as you're able to stick it to Putin right? Western media bias exists too, Ukraine is not going to win this war without Western country boots on the ground, however they are unwilling to do that. Basically right now the west keeps sending Ukrainian soldiers to die on the frontline to what end? Trust me, yes Putin is a mad man, he also knows the appetite of 'western powers' to finance this war is waning...

Just look at how the sentiment in the USA went after the attack on Pearl Harbor or the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

No. Not at all my meaning. My comment was there because you seem a bit focused on western failings and not so much Russias. The west maybe didn’t “guarantee” Ukraines security but at least they didn’t fucking brutally invade them. Also “the west” is kind of a silly and broad term to use in such targeted ways imho.

All work visa require renewal for continued work. Again this is fundamentally different from a graduate student studying and teaching in university. Once youre done there is no renewal process or option to continue. Because youve graduated.
It’s not a true job in the sense that someone can work their whole life as a janitor or whatever. So trying to set expectations for what is a reasonable salary or what not is just not as relevant

But like… you can’t really do that.
You need a visa to live in Japan, which can be acquired through a number of channels, but not all of them will let you work for a company overseas while living here. To do that, you can get Permanent Residency or marry a Japanese person and be on a spouse visa.
If you marry a foreigner with a work permit, you get a dependent visa and can earn 1.3m jpy per year (so like… 10k usd) working less than 28 hours a week, unsure if it’s okay for overseas companies.
They do have a digital nomad visa now, but you can only live in Japan for 6 months at a time.
What you can’t do is just like… haul ass to Japan with a remote job.

I believe Japan changed their laws so you can get citizenship by being able to fill the form and living in Japan for five years. The catch is you have to give up your original citizenship. That's a hard sell when Japan isnt friendly [career wise] towards foreigners.

*Thailand* has 3-4 million expats (5-6% of population).
*Singapore* has 1.77 million. (30% foreigners, ,9% perm residents, 61% Singaporean)
*Bahamas* Tax haven
Even Saudi Arabia and China have western foreign workers/companies. (Albeit both have their other problems, especially depending on your race, but that's also not big difference in Japan)
And most are way more welcoming than Japan interns of accepting western workers.

Not to get into the weeds here but as a black person who's been there for extended periods of time, I was treated way better than Nigerians. I wouldn't be shocked if some of them have been denied entry because people just don't want to have them there. Nigerians and Russians have a very bad reputation in Japan, as I am sure you know.
If you are clearly from an English speaking country, which I'd assume so from your username, you wouldn't run into that.

Working for an international company in Japan can get you a visa, but you still can't just decide to keep your remote job and move to Japan.
Also, an international company might not offer a workplace that's significantly different from Japanese companies in either environment or salary. Ask me how I know ;)

I'm a recruiter, so I see a lot of salaries. My buddy is a mechanical engineer in the US making ~100k. That's just under 16m JPY. 16m JPY is a good salary for a sales director, general manager, or department head.
On the other side, my husband made 35k at a paid internship. I'm making 28k (probably around 35k if I do well and get bonuses) as a mid-career employee.
People who don't look at salaries don't know just how much the difference is.

Ask away. I'm a recruiter in Japan, so I see discrimination on a daily basis. It happens towards women (women's working culture in Japan is a whole other can of worms), but the amount of times I hear "no foreigners" is insane. And that applies to half Japanese too-- not full blood, born and raised here is still not Japanese.
For example, I had a guy rejected from a job because his name is Mohammad. They thought that he might be Muslim, and therefore have dietary restrictions that would prevent him from joining in client meetings over dinner.
I couldn't convince them that his skillset (good) and language skill (very good) were enough to even interview him.

People will say blockading them is not fair and how can you do that to your mates just cos they have different views, no, this is massively different. This is a national security concern and they are actively aiming an enemy state. Sort them out.

There is nothing that needs to be excused. Morally right (whichever those may be) geopolitical decisions are happy little accidents that happen when countries interests by chance allign with what someone considers a 'right thing to do'.
Foreign policy is always led primarily by interests, not morality (unless it's in countries/governments best interest to appear moral on a specific subject).
If morality was paramount for countries making deals with each other, we'd live in a much more isolationist world.
This doesn't excuse Russia's invasion of Ukraine, or India's trade deals with Russia, but it does make it hypocritical to be outraged at Indian foreign policy when people like Bush are enjoying carefree life.

The Canadian government is taking a very laissez- faire approach with these terrorist attacks.
They makes me wonder about the sympathies of those at the very top of the Canadian government.
Some may recall a similar non-response by the Canadian government while churches were subjected to arson attacks by Left-wing terrorists in 2021 and onwards. In fact, one Canadian official, Gerald Butts, called such attacks ‘understandable’. This despite the fact that the government of Canada was itself responsible for the Residential School system.
In light of this, one wonders what Gerald Butts and his peers still in government think about Jewish people and what Canadian officials are willing to condone for ideological reasons.

You know what’s inflammatory?
Shooting at Jewish schools. In Canada, that’s a hate crime.

I was trying to break it down for you as simple as possible because you seem lacking in understanding more complex thoughts.

The peace Europe enjoyed after suffering through and winning WWII is over. We're in a new era where the authoritarian nations are challenging the rules based order. Europe can no longer sit safe and secure, thumbing it's nose at nations who must make some tough moral choices to survive.

Why would you fight when you can just keep swiping right? Nobody wants to fight. Most people don't want to be free, they want to be comfortable.

I disagree mate. If that were true there’d be no war in Ukraine
