Hope they get the oil issue resolved before starting anything.
Tora Tora Tora
They’ve just now figured it out?
Good.
just breakout a screwdriver...
“We have always been at war with Eastasia.” Then, later, “We are at war with Eurasia. We have always been at war with Eurasia.”.
George Orwell was highly prescient.
Kamikaze drones are a big thing these days . Banzai !
The Jap Navy is a significant add-on to the USN.
They can provide 36 destroyers to supplement the USN’s 68 Arleigh Burkes.
3 light/helo carriers to add to the USN’s 9 LHA’s.
13 very modern submarines.
I think Japan looks at the population of the U.S. and concludes that it better get off it’s ass and DEFEND itself.
This is a population of people that elected America Hating, No Resume, INEXPERIENCED Barack Obama twice and a mentally ill unstable man NOW.
I lived there (in Japan) 2 years and know them well and I think they look across the Pacific and see a population with a too high percentage of sub par people including homosexuals, trannies, lesbians, homeless, meth-heads, cocaine blowers, fentanyl death wish types, marxists, socialists, democrats, RINO’s, homeless, non-patriots, police defunders, outright America haters and perpetually unemployed losers. In other words, they don’t see a RELIABLE American people standing behind their flag anymore.
Finally, Japanese leaders conclude that if an American majority of human debris is about to achieve the destruction of America that they have long sought that they (the Japanese) have lost their protector.
Japan needs to be an entirely new different kind of military, one built around billions of drones.
They have the technology to do it, and drones and swarms in particular are the warfare of the future IMO.
China would be foolish to underestimate the JMSDF even today.
Proven maritime warriors, and an embedded culture of it going back 1000 years.
With US technology.
Unlike in the past Japan has a very legitimate reason to be *very* afraid. And,for that matter,so does South Korea.
To deter China...
Uh huh...
