I'm not sure which is bigger news: that our allies now see Barry as the worthless, lying, incompetent, poseur manchild that he's always been; or, the NY Slimes has published a less that worshipful article on his Barryness.

Japan....Are you a Muslim Country? Do you kill Christians??

So why are you even asking?

The Japanese need to be worried. Obama is no Nimitz.

So if Putin takes back Alaska, will Caliph Baraq draw a red line and issue a “strongly worded” statement?

Of course with Russia’s tax rates, maybe the Alaskans would welcome him?

China is building a BlueWater Navy. North Korea is playing with Nukes. Japan has an unreliable “protector”.
I see new, magnificent ships on the Pacific. Vessels with historic names, names that fought heroically in a (gladly) losing cause.
Names such as Yamato, Hiryu, Shinano, Yahagi, Shokaku and others. The U.S. Navy, though, will no longer be able to display its most famous name....ENTERPRISE.
When the United States was either Respected OR Feared, a lid was put on the world. Yes, there was agitated bubbling under the lid, but the kettle never boiled over.
Now, the lid is off the kettle and “here we go.”

U.S.NON-Response to Crimea Worries Japan’s Leaders

[Jack Hammer]

I can’t imagine why Japan is worrying - in case China and/or North Korea attack, Obama’s United States will continue to leave the Japanese alone to do whatever they want.

Barry has an ax to grind concerning Japanese treatment of muslims in the Philippines, Borneo, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia during the 1940s. Hussein also has an ax to grind against Japan over it’s support of the United States in its wars of aggression in Korea and Vietnam.

From the article:

Some analysts and former policy makers were blunt in saying that a failure to come to Japan’s aid in a clash over the Senkakus/Diaoyu islands could spell the end of the two nations’ postwar alliance.

“If Japan is attacked, and the Americans decline to respond, then it is time from the Americans to pull out” of their bases here, Mr. Miyake said. “Without those bases, America is not going to be a Pacific power anymore. America knows that.”

What - they're gonna hike defense spending beyond the current measly 1% of GDP? I have my doubts. Uncle Sam's the only game in town unless the Japanese are willing to make sacrifices. The Yamato spirit isn't dormant - it's extinct.

Japan is right to be worried. We are too.

The demise of the United States of America evidenced in its failure to honor treaties.

U.S. Response to Crimea Worries Japan’s Leaders

I'd love to know what security assurances The Ukraine was given to talk them into giving up their nukes.

No country will ever trust the US again, thanks to the usurping kenyan muzzie.
