Japan is busy building up and keeping tis military modern to confront a rapidly growing and modernizing Chinese Navy a few hundred miles from their shores.
I’m glad they are and are willing to help carry the load in the WestPac that so many of our European allies have lost the stomach and will for in Europe and NATO.
Too many effeminate fatties.
Like Germany.
Maybe they should. With the tantrums and decisions Japan has had over our military bases and now a weak US with Broncobama at the helm, add in an aggressive China...well, it would just makes sense.
Maybe that’s not so bad. Japan can start feeling the full weight of their defense costs. Maybe the whole frickin’ world can. Socialism has been more affordable for the rest of the world because of the US, yet they’ve kicked the US as the horrid, awful aggressors the whole time.
We shoulder much of the military costs of protecting the world. It’s time for the other nations to put-up or shut up. I’ve had enough of the pampered finger-pointing whiners. Other nations need to get their own hands dirty for a change.
I’m starting to see the Paul light. I’m not there yet but give me a bit and may get there. Let the defense of their nations really start costing them tax-dollars and lives. The US is the Rodney Dangerfield of countries.
good for them... they’ll need it
it’s not like the US will be there to back them up.
our marines, what’s left of them, will spend most of their days in sensitivity training followed by interior design and fashion instruction
This article is so anti-japanese it’s laughable. The rising sun has been the japanese ensign flying on all their ships and was never changed after the war. It is seperate from the standard flag as are most nations. The U.S. is an exception to the rule where our ensign looks identical to our flag.
Time is running out for Japan as a nation state. Low birth rate will make the population extinct before the end of the century. China and North Korea are able to destroy the country within a week of hostilites. Maybe the USA could agree to give the country protective status until the last Japanese citizen is dead, and then annex it to South Korea maybe.
