Yeah, right.
People nowadays seem to forget or they apparently never knew that during World War Two, Imperial Japan’s armed services were the al Qaeda of that era.
They though it was the greatest thing in the world to die for their Emperor. We finally found that we had to fight them to win and did so when we showed them that if they all wanted to die for their Emperor, we would accommodate them with atomic weapons.
To defeat al Qaeda and the growing world of Islamic terrorists dead set on killing all of us as a religiously necessary Jihad, we need to fight them the same way and if necessary, use nuclear weapons before they use nuclear weapons on us.
Go Japan, show Red China how the cow chews the curd— Heavens knows our current resident in the White House won’t.
What “force” does Japan have to stop the Chinese incursion?
“What “force” does Japan have to stop the Chinese incursion?”
The Chinese might find that it’s a lot more than a Pokemon military.
The Japanese have got more firepower then folks think . They don’t/can’t advertise it .
China is cruising for a bloody nose with most of it neighbors.
I still say we should stop trade with it dead in it’s tracks.
We’ll see just how successful China is with no traders from around the planet.
The second most powerful navy in the world. Please pay attention.
Something tells me now is not the time for Japan to start to practice its ancient ways.
A navy far bigger that the British have for starters. Modern fighters that they improve locally. And the ability to build anything they want, to Lexus standards, quickly.
The Chinese have a big land army, but they are relatively still new at naval warfare.
And Japan has a strange personality that we do not always understand. Under my pendulum of love theory, the more peaceful and shrinking back a people can be,, the more violent they can also be.
Germans were the epitome of romantic thought, hiking the mountains, eidelweiss, poets and philosphers.
The Japanese are very pacifist,, but they are also motivated by honor and pride and principle (as they define it) in ways we do not always fathom. It could get weird.
Clarion call. Got that right.
Bigger Coast Guard, better navy and air force, closer bases to the area.
If it stays low-key they have the advantage. Only way the Chicoms have a chance is massive missile bombardment of Okinawa.

Thanks DeaconBenjamin.

We had lost 100K GI's fighting the Japanese, along with 300K fighting the Axis powers in Europe. I think it was clear that we had sacrificed enough men to merit trying bigger weapons. It was also pretty clear that Hitler and Hirohito were the commanders-in-chief of the major Axis powers. With al Qaeda, a lot of the sponsorship comes from princelings or rich Muslims who are looking to replace the current rulers. So it would be kind of difficult to justify incinerating a Muslim city just to get at some conspirator trying to enthrone himself at the expense of the current royals.
You won't be saying that when my man Gamera comes to dance, nossireebub!
2)It's easy to forget by looking at our own Left how militant, nationalist, and "patriotic" Communist regimes can be. I sometimes wonder if flower-throwing pacifist hippies and North Korea really do share the same ideology. I'm sure even in a Communist America (G-d forbid!) they'd disarm us and have us kowtowing to everyone. No patriotism for the "socialist motherland" for us!
3)And again, if it weren't for Harry Truman's State Department China would have been a friendly power all these years. Great job, Marshall and Acheson! [/sarcasm]
Japan has huge investments in China. That would go over like a lead balloon.
