Chinese General: Prepare for Combat
Washington Free Beacon ^ | Sept. 18, 2012 | Bill Gertz

China’s most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent.

Protests against the Japanese government’s purchase of three privately held islands in the Senkakus chain led to mass street protests, the burning of Japanese flags, and attacks on Japanese businesses and cars in several cities.

because of WWII and Japan's unconditional surrender, they have no means to defend themselves.

This all must be happening because Bathhouse Barry is such a strong leader of the free world.

The general population here in Japan remains peaceful. How much longer will peace will last? As we speak there is a flotilla of 1,000 Chinese fishing boats headed to the disputed islands . If Japan does nothing it will be seen as weak and ineffective . If it reacts it will be accused of nationalism . If the US does nothing to protect it then Japan will see no reason not to ditch the constitution that prevents them from re-arming and strengthening their military.

This is happening because Bathhouse Barry, the ChiComs and Russia are on the same "New World Order" page.

How much oil is under those islands?

Any areas with a lot of that sort of resources which lies between two or more nations..... will be the locations of the next wars.

Within past month there was an MOU permitting for long-range Japanese UAV’s to operate from GUAM...! That was huge and tells u were looking also at long-term secular trend of higher instability in that region.

When I was in the Army my Battalion was fortunate to go over to Japan and train with the JGSDF. In this day and age there is no reason to hold Japan to the post WWII constitution regarding their military to be for self defense only.

I hope China owns all the deadbeat countries it’s lent money to - the 47% that live off the hard work of China and give nothing in return by bad IOUs.
