We all know that politicians tend to debate useless issues, but the powers that be in Tokyo have gone from the ridiculous to the paranormal. Japanese politicians recently debated the existence of UFOs and although no one could confirm any sightings, one politician—much like Dennis Kucinich—said he did believe. And to make sure national security is not at risk, Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba promised that if Godzilla attacked, he would send out troops to take care if it.
