The Nissian Frontier is made in America. I'd say it wasn't that direct though. At one time Japanese products where considered cheap and well they where. What they did was progress thier heavy industry. They toured American factories in the 50's and 60's and figured that they could make a better quality product then they developed JIS and went to town.

Today many Americans consider a Toyota or Honda sedan as status symbol just 20 years ago this opinion wasn't common place. Of course Japanese post war industry and Japanese behavior in the last days of WWII are in my opinion not directly related in any way.

Speaking of Japan, surrender and the aftermath, North and South Korea have exchanged fire on the western border. The ROK is evacuating towns near the border in the area. Just another day in glorious Korea. :dead:

Fat Kim Sung is jealous, because the focus is on Putin and Iran these days

Either that or he's annoyed that no-one is taking the new 'Korean timezone' seriously. :O:

You mean robot soldiers, right?

after that comes drone cams for the records of course :hmmm:

Kim Jong Un has given South Korea until Saturday evening to end propaganda transmissions across the border or face military consequences. The 5 p.m. local deadline, comes after artillery fire across the Demilitarized Zone that separates the two countries and a belligerent directive from Kim that his troops "enter a wartime state to be fully battle ready to launch surprise operations."

It is troubling that Kim set a deadline after which war could begin. But then this guy is world-famous for crying wolf and then going off and stuffing his face. :hmmm:
