Japan is just likely to go Tora-Tora-Tora on Comrade Chia Pet’s stroke-impaired ASS.

Who doesn’t think that Japan could reduce North Korea’s pathetic military ‘machine’ to wreckage inside of a week?

They would have to, because the Usurper in the White House isn’t going to do jack sh!t.

Japan is very short on offensive capability. They have a very professional and otherwise well equiped military, but what will they hit NK with? They don't have the right weapons mix right now.

People here don't realize how p!ssed off the Japanese still are about the Norks kidnapping Japanese right from Japan to work as language teachers.

While there is a threat of internal terrorism, the Japanese have never integrated Korean immigrants or their descendents, and keep pretty good files on them, especially the ones from North Korea. They wouldn't be averse to rounding them up if anything started even if that meant having to close down a majority of the pachinko parlors.

I served with the USAF in Japan. Frankly, I was not impressed with what passed for a military there.

It's been awhile, but I wonder if Japan really has the hardware to do much to NK if the balloon goes up.

Not really up on there Japanese military capability, but if someone is, could you enlighten me?

Thanks,
