The CAIRO DECLARATION was a joint statement issued by the leaders of the United States, Great Britain, and China on November 27, 1943, during World War II.
The declaration was issued following the Cairo Conference, a meeting of the Allied leaders held in Cairo, Egypt, from November 22 to 26, 1943.
The Cairo Declaration stated the Allies would continue to fight until Japan and Germany surrendered unconditionally.
The declaration also called for Japan to give up all territories it had taken by force since 1914, including Manchuria, Taiwan, and the Pescadores, and to return them to China.
The declaration also recognized the independence of Korea and called for the removal of all Japanese troops from Korea.
Additionally, it declared the Allies would work together to establish a democratic government in Japan after the war and to bring Japanese war criminals to justice.
The Cairo Declaration laid out the principles upon which the post-war world would be based.

The POTSDAM DECLARATION was a statement issued by the United States, Great Britain, and China on July 26, 1945, calling for the unconditional surrender of Japan during World War II.
The declaration was issued following the Potsdam Conference, a meeting of the Allied leaders held in Potsdam, Germany, from July 17 to August 2, 1945.
The Potsdam Declaration demanded Japan accept the terms of the Cairo Declaration, which had been issued by the Allies in 1943 and called for Japan to give up all territories acquired since 1914, return Manchuria to China, and recognize the independence of Korea.
The Potsdam Declaration also called for the disarmament and demilitarization of Japan, and the punishment of war criminals.
The declaration warned if Japan did not surrender unconditionally, it would face "prompt and utter destruction."

  Picture 240805 Cooling off after exercise, weight at 165 pounds. Got to 160 pounds five years ago and have been bouncing between 157 and 168 since. Common sense ways to lose and keep off weight are eat right and light and get lots of exercise. Main exercise is walking, do 1~2 miles most days. Over career worked as a salesman in the steelmaking, fasteners, and auto manufacturing industries, lots of travel in U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Japan. Over the years have visited every U.S. city with a major league, MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, sports team except Sacramento, have gotten as close as Travis Air Force Base. Often traveled on Sundays, much time on the road so could not eat right and get enough exercise so got heavy, up to 200 lbs. Was on commission and made enough to retire early, eat right and light, get enough exercise, and now spending most time reading and writing.

  From article What 10 Years of U.S. Meddling in Ukraine Have Wrought (Spoiler alert: Not democracy). Aaron Mate. April 30, 2024. Section 2. Seeking to capitalize on the unrest in Ukraine in 2013, U.S. figures including State Department official Victoria Nuland, Republican Sen. John McCain, and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy visited Maidan Square.

According to Andrii Telizhenko, a former Ukrainian gov

  “The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.” - William James “All experience has shown mankind are more disposed to suffer,while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” - Thomas Jefferson “Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege and attacks it. And when it departs, sorrow and repentance remain behind.” - Leonardo da Vinci “Struggle is the indispensable accompaniment of progress. If men were entirely social, man would stagnate. A certain alloy of individualism and competition is required to make the human species survive and grow. Without qualities of an unsocial kind men might have led an Arcadian shepherd life in complete harmony, contentment, and mutual love. But in that case all their talents would
