JAPANESE POLITICIANS WANT THE ABILITY TO BOMB NORTH KOREA FIRST BEFORE BEING 'DESTROYED'

Top Japanese lawmakers have begun arguing for the capability to launch a preemptive missile strike on North Korea in the face of Pyongyang's increasingly active ballistic and nuclear weapons programs.
In response to militant rhetoric from North Korea, a group of influential Japanese legislators has announced a public campaign to end the World War II-era restrictions, imposed on Tokyo by the U.S., that prevent Japan from initiating military action. The post-war scheme tasked the U.S. with defending Japan from foreign attack but Japanese politicians including ruling Liberal Democratic Party head Hiroshi Imazu and former defense chief Gen Nakatani have said that Japan deserves the right to defend its own interests and should acquire the means to do so.

As said..China rides a tightrope and we know Beijing will only help rein in Fat Boy when its own extreme self-interests are threatened. Hit China's banking industry and you'll see some cooperation pretty quickly!
They know the US has no intentions of invading NKorea...there's nothing there. China is the only one has benefited by using them as a buffer zone, ..but China's investments etc. world wide now has changed that equation...cut China's banking/financial institutes would hurt China and they know it....soooo...we shall see.
And japs are smart, generally speaking.
I voted for Ross.
Even back then the Republicans were wishy washy.
I know you didn't mean for this to sound racist...
As they should.
The OTHER guy is constantly trying to 'know your enemy'; too.
Even the now 'friend' that may BECOME your 'enemy' in the future.
Very true.
I would think the people themselves would want this. How can this little POS have this much control over his nation?
Turn them loose. Kimchee dung will wish he never uttered a burp.
And we have a winner.
Maybe we could chem-trail a LOT of Fentanyl like the Russians did a few years ago at their opera house but that didn't work well.
Good point - even the Chinese have enough dignity to be embarrassed by the fat ugly creepy one...
