Japan Tells Citizens to Prepare for North Korean Missile Attack
Japan — As the United States begins to move elements of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to a deployment site in South Korea earlier than expected — in the name of defending against the “evil North Korea” of the mainstream narrative — Japan is warning its citizens they’ll have little time to find safety if Kim Jong-un launches an attack.

So the Japanese government is preparing...
Trump’s Poll Numbers Rise for Every Bomb He Drops
Highlighting the phenomenon of the “rally effect” — the surge in popular support presidents can receive in times of geopolitical crisis — one media outlet just drew attention to the fact that Donald Trump is seeing a bump in his approval ratings since his recent flexing of military muscle. Writing for Quartz on Monday, Annalisa Merelli points out that as of April 18, after killing scores of civilians via airstrikes in Syria and dropping the “mother of all bombs” in Afghanistan, Trump’s approval rating in polls has gone up around five points compared to the end of March.

Ex-Pentagon Chief: North Korea Not ‘Suicidal’ so Won’t Attack U.S. First
As Vice President Mike Pence warns that the “era of strategic patience” with North Korea is over, the country’s U.N. ambassador is comparing the U.S.’s behavior in Asia to that of gangsters. At a news conference on Monday, Ambassador Kim In-ryong said the United States was “disturbing global peace and stability and insisting on the gangster-like logic that its invasion of a sovereign state is decisive and just and proportionate and contributes to defending the international order.” Also on Monday, North Korea’s Vice Foreign Minister told BBC that despite escalating tensions with the...

Two Studies Retracted After Claiming Video Games Make Us Violent
This article originally appeared at Anti-Media. It’s one of those questions that currently appears to have no clear answer: Do violent video games lead to violence in reality? It seems any opinion on the matter can be backed up by evidence, be it scientific data, which exists in abundance, or personal experience, which is immediately relatable to any modern human being. No one is ever proven definitively right, yet no one can ever be shown to be absolutely wrong. Regardless of your opinion, the facts remain neutral.
