[Prophet in the wilderness]

It's a good thing, that the Japanese are our allies ( a dependable ally for the last 50 years ).... and we sure hope they remain one of our dependable ally.
Do you think ? the Japanese in some small way, can counter Russia and China, with the Aussies, and the UK on our side ?

[Jeff Head]

I beleive we can, and will. It is going to be a matter of how much we lose in the process based on how long we wait to react directly and forthrightly.

If we wait too long, we may get pushed back =at the start like in World War II and lose a lot of people putting the genie back in the bottle.
