It would seem to be logical that Australia would not be the only 5 eyes member to be training the Japanese. I'd also think that if the Japanese are after world class training for their spies then they would be training with Mossad as well.

With China and nork threat, I don’t blame the Japanese to start arming up both for the regular battle and the cloak and dagger games.

Good to see Japan and Oz getting on. Good for us Yanks to have them both as allies.

The Ninja are being reborn. This is a good thing in the short term.

Good for Australia!

The Japanese are nice, peace-loving people—so much so that it’s difficult for me to believe they were ever as brutal as I know they once were. Regardless, peaceful people are easy targets for aggressive nations, and there’s no shortage of the latter. Even worse, Japan cannot count on the present American administration. The Japanese better prepare for conflict. The Chinese certainly are.

As the United States continues its descent into the hellhole of decadence and the powerful nations of the Pacific rim--notably China--become more aggressive, it will become increasingly important for Australians to increase their defense capabilities--unless, of course, Australia should follow North America and Europe into the hellhole.

Australia's military power will have to increase, and she will have to build alliances in the area, probably with India and South Korea as well as Japan. She will also have to take a protective stance over New Zealand.

To do otherwise would be to surrender to Chinese imperialism, something that Australians will not want to do, unless, of course, they are too entrenched in Western decadence to bother with their survival.

Anyone! Right? Wrong? Sane? Crazy? Near the beam? Completely off it?
