More antics of the blu mercs! Didn’t expect such a warm reception to these silly little headcanons at first, and I’m working up the motivation to finish the rest of the team (failing)
some sillies..

I'm reading a collection of tales recounting the early days of the Yokohama Foreign Settlement (Suribachi City, in bsd-verse), and the sheer amount of shenanigans deserves a list but I don't even know where to begin.
The noodle-makers' dispute over flour that led to the Governor of Kanagawa Prefecture committing seppuku? The Japanese-government sponsored brothel with a moat? The two-sword wielding assassins in the swamp who kept killing foreigners? That the foreigners still went bird hunting in the swamp filled with two-sword wielding assassins? The Japanese soldiers quartered nearby bonding with the troops England sent to do something about the two-sword wielding assassins? The English merchant who had his American assistant illegally arrested resulting in a lawsuit against the English merchant in the English court that had to be litigated by the American Consul since he was the only American lawyer in Yokohama, during the course of which the salty editor of an English newspaper decided to settle a personal vendetta by publishing remarks about the American assistant so scathing that the American assistant then hid in wait only to pop out and horsewhip the editor in front of God and everyone, resulting in another trial, but this time in the American court, which meant the American Consul became the judge, a position which he used to imply the English lawyer, the now-judge's former opposing counsel, was worth a sum of 6 1/4 cents, with such insinuation sparking community-wide protests? Blood Town?

Kissinger, a politician who misread the big picture (Essay)
Kissinger is a politician who has long led the USA's foreign policy and is still influential. But I have the impression that he is a short-sighted politician.
The long-standing enemy of the USA is the Chinese Communist Party. After kicking the USA's emboldened Kuomintang from the mainland, today the CCP is "the USA's biggest competitor." China would have self-destructed if it was left to the stupid Mao Zedong. China has become a powerful country by providing capital and technology according to the logic of capitalism. Kissinger's responsibility for restoring diplomatic relations with China is heavy. He also kicked Taiwan out of the UN's permanent seat and made the Communist Party of China a permanent seat.
The Chinese Communist Party is an enemy that must be smashed. not a profitable party. During the Korean War, if the volunteer soldiers dispatched by the CCP had been annihilated with atomic bombs, the CCP would have collapsed. It was Truman's mistake not to do so, but Kissinger's responsibility for acting blindly without knowing such a major premise is heavy. He is said to be a realistic politician, but he is a politician who is too caught up in the phenomenon of reality and is not good at seeing the essence.

大局を見誤った政治家・キッシンジャー
長らくUSAの外交政策をリードし、今でも影響力のある政治家・キッシンジャー。でも私は彼が近視眼的な政治家であるとの感想を持っている。
USAの長年の敵は、中国共産党である。USAの息のかかった国民党を大陸から追い出して以来、今日では中国共産党は「USA最大の競合国である。」バカの毛沢東に中国を任せておけば、勝手に自滅したであろう。資本主義の論理に則り、資本と技術を提供したために、中国は強国となってしまったのだ。中国と国交を回復させたキッシンジャーの責任は重い。また台湾を国連の常任理事国から追い出し、中国共産党を常任理事国にしたのもキッシンジャーだ。
中国共産党は、叩きつぶすべき敵。利益を与える相手ではない。朝鮮戦争のとき、中国共産党が派遣した義勇兵たちを、原子爆弾で全滅させていれば、それで中国共産党は潰れていたろう。そうしなかったのはトルーマンのミスであるが、そんな大前提を知らずに盲動したキッシンジャーの責任はやはり重い。彼は現実的な政治家だそうだが、現実という現象に囚われすぎて、本質を見ることの不得手な政治家である。
