China Base On Nanji Island Threatens Japan's Senkakus
Investor's Business Daily ^ | January 29, 2015 | IBD EDITORIALS

Defense: War clouds gather in the East China Sea as China, in one of a series of territorial claims against its neighbors, builds a helicopter base within attack range of Japan's Senkaku Islands, which Beijing claims as its own.

When President Obama traveled to China last November, we don't suppose that he discussed with his Chinese counterparts their military buildup in the East and South China Seas and their ambitious territorial claims on island chains such as the Spratly, Paracel and Senkaku.

As Bill Gertz reports in the Washington Free Beacon, commercial satellites observed construction of a Chinese military helicopter base on Nanji Island off the Chinese coast last October.

They have s-400’s nearby, on the mainland, about 45 km away.

They give full coverage over Taiwan and the Senkakus.

Our response to Chinese coddling of nuclear-bent Iran and intimidation of Japan and Taiwan should be to give Taiwan about 200 nuclear warheads, including a ballistic missile submarine, and then tell China to “suck it”.

As a person who worked in Japan for a little while, I think the Japanese need to rediscover their Japanese warrior manhood once more and bring back the Samurai, for the Chinese in some way never lost theirs over the many years.

The scary thing is how it seems like many Japanese men have become... “feminized” is the only term I can come up with, perhaps to a greater extent than Western men, although you even see it with many Japanese-American young men.

That sort of thing is why so many women go for the “Bad Boy”; you see white women throwing themselves at black gangstas and Asian women throwing themselves at jockish white guys.

I suspect that it is not necessarily that many women want “Bad Boys”... they just want real men, and “Bad Boys” are the closest many of them will get to real men. Its the result of de-masculinizing, metrosexualizing, feminizing, feminist castration.

Now the feminists (at least the non-lesbians among them) got what they wanted and now they have “Buyer’s Remorse”. My opinion is “You broke it, you bought it.”

meanwhile today, in spite of many such things, the stupid policy planners in the Pentagon are upset that Congress wants a slower pace to U.S.-China military cooperation events.

You got it right. There's a news item today about a woman who couldn't find anyone to marry her, she became 40 and married herself. That's a feminist that got what she wanted.

Oh I know all of that I see it in the mainline culture and heck I even been seeing it in the Anime I watch, they seemed to have lost some of the manly touch like the Gundam Animes for example in the 80’s and early 90’s which had it compared to now which is just the opposite.
