The Philippine Air Force is using the leftover bras of Imelda Marcos for skycaps.

[Shadow44]

The IJN can definitely take on the PLAN (worst navy name ever by the way).

That’s about all they need to do, unless things go nuclear.

Not if Obama draws a Red Line, they won't! /sarc

Or mine the area ahead of Chinese moves.

You might be showing your age a bit, Shadow. The IJN is now the JMSDF (Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force).

[Shadow44]

I hate using such a verbose acronym.

Let’s not kid ourselves, Japan’s pretty much rearmed already. Abe’s at this point just making it official.

Let’s not kid ourselves, Japan’s pretty much rearmed already.

Come to think about it, going back to the IJN just might put a wee bit of a scare into China.

[Phillyred]

We can send in our new sensitivity-trained, lgbt loving military.

[Snickering Hound]

Their newest aircraft carrier is named “Kaga”...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Astounding.

[mikefive]

What Philippine Air Force, it’s almost non-existent.

“Duterte is in bed with China.”

Yup.

He is.

Obama to put red line in South China Sea

[HomerBohn]

I hope so.

Perhaps putting up a good fight as did South Korea against North Korea in a recent bloody sea war won by the South, would be enough.

It’s too bad the Korean War was lost as was the ‘adventure’ in Vietnam, but both were proof that politicians run things. Had we decisively won WWII none of this would have happened. Had not Europe went to war over very cloudy issues there wouldn’t have been WWI that begat every war that followed.

[bankwalker]

that politicians run things.

you left out the "i"

[dp0622]

when did South Korea and North Korea duke it out at sea? Thanks ahead of time.
