"I have an Article 2 where I have the right to do whatever I want as president." Satire is dead. Trump shot it in broad daylight and didn't lose a single vote.

As others in this thread have said, buying a property in Japan doesn't extend your Visa or grant you residence in the country. This would be a waste of time if you didn't already have that lined up. However, there are countries that do. Some have what's called the Golden Visa program, or Investor/Real Estate Visa program (there are other names, but if you're doing a search, this should turn up decent results). Here's a list of some countries that do this, and the minimum amount you need to spend.

Portugal - Golden Visa Investment - €500,000 ($540k USD) or €350,000 ($380k USD) for lower population areas, or properties that need to be renovated Residency benefits - Residency permit for 5 years, with the opportunity to apply for permanent residency after that

Spain - Golden Visa Investment - €500,000 ($540k USD) Residency benefits - Residency permit for 1 year, renewable as long as you own the property, and you can apply for permanent residency after 5 years

Greece - Golden Visa Investment - €250,000 ($270k USD) Residency benefits - Residency permit for 5 years, renewable as long as you own the property, and you can apply for permanent residency after 7 years

Thailand - Thailand Elite Visa Investment - THB 1,000,000 (about $30k USD) for a 5 year Visa Residency benefits - Renewable every 5 years with no residency requirement

Ecuador - Investor Visa Investment - $42,500 in real estate Residency benefits - Grants you permanent residency

Malaysia - Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Investment - RM 1 million (about $240k USD) in real estate Residency benefits - Grants you a 10 year renewable Visa

Philippines - Special Resident Retiree Visa Investment - $50k in real estate Residency benefits - Grants you permanent residency

When I was looking into bailing on the US, I made a Libre Office spreadsheet with like 70 countries and all this info plus a bunch of other personal requirements for what I was looking for, so some of it may be outdated. Hell, some of it may be straight up incorrect, so feel free to double check it.

If you read the Bible with a purely objective mind and come away thinking God is the good guy in the story, I have some serious questions about your morality and ethics.

"The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust"

I would bet money this man could not name a single ingredient in a measles vaccine.

Those are called "warning shots".

Having been to both countries, and made friends in both countries, this whole war really hurts to see. I hate the Russian government, but the Russian people don't deserve this any more than the Ukrainian people deserve being invaded. I can't give an opinion on how strategically "necessary" this was in the eyes of Ukrainian military leadership, but it's sad all the same.

My venting wasn't about Philippines. If you hate them that much, go complain somewhere else.

I was clearly defending the actions of the Philippines.

Back on topic, reading the other comments, it's looking more and more like a rival dictator got him done in. So this really ain't about courage, it looks more and more like getting rid of the competition.

The International Criminal Court does not operate on the orders of world leaders. So no, a rival dictator did not get an ICC warrant issued for Duterte. Maybe don't get your information from the comments section.

Do you think the Philippine police should go to Russia and Israel to arrest Putin and Netantahu?

I don't understand what your complaint here is. It's up to the individual countries to enforce ICC arrest warrants. The Philippines chose to enforce it. That's a good thing. If your complaint is that other countries don't enforce it, then you should take that up with those countries, instead of crapping all over the Philippines for doing what those other countries don't have the courage to do.

The more likely scenario is that Musk is straight up lying about anything tracing back to a Ukrainian IP address because he's manufacturing consent against Ukraine.

Trump: "No fair! You cheated!"

Yep. I am done with Reddit too. Just deleted my account after this bullshit.
