WORLD War 3 fears are raging in the Pacific as tensions rage between the US, China and Russia with dire warnings of the threat of another "Pearl Harbour".
Japanese defence minister Yasuhide Nakayama gave a chilling assessment of the situation as discussed threats from China to Taiwan and potentially to Hawaii from Russia.
Mr Nakayama was speaking at the Hudson Institute and reportedly claimed China and Russia are preparing jointly for the threat of a major war exploding in the region, according to the Washington Exaimer.
"We have to show the deterrence towards China, and not just China but also the Russians, because, as I told you, that they are doing their exercises together," he said.
And to hammer home is point about the threat in the Pacific, he pointed to recent war games which Russia carried out just 35 miles from the US state Hawaii.
He compared the threat to that of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese surprise attack that dragged the US into World War 2 at the end of 1941.
"Seventy years ago, we attacked Pearl Harbor, but now the U.S. and Japan [are] very good allies, one of the best allies all over the world," he said.

Lebowski and Old School in one thread?…outstanding.
Well they did have a “fort” just outside of Waimea on Kauai many years ago.
Fort Elizabeth I think it was called, just a pile of rocks now.
And as that military tactician, SpongeBob said....
I hope we’ve updated the target list to include Wuhan.
Seems there are several here that prefer dead Americans.
DC is a bigger threat than Moscow.
Maybe the nuke aimed at my house will miss and take out your doublewide!
That is something I should think about.
One benefit anyway.
This is some Japanese guy speculating about it, rather than the Russians warning us.
Again people trying to stir things up, when it’s not necessary.
“He compared the threat to that of Pearl Harbor...”
Umm, the real threat of Pearl Harbor was that it was a surprise attack. If you are doing military exercises off the coast of Hawaii, you’re not going to surprise anyone if you attack Hawaii...
“Only recently I find myself debating that question!”
Oddly, so have I.
Exactly.
We should have never overthrown the Hawaiian Monarchy.
The big difference is in 1941 America was still America, had the fighting spirit and will to survive and prevail. Leadership politically and ESPECIALLY militarily was on an entirely different plane then today. Half the country hates each others guts and wishes profound calamity to the other half and vice versa. Does not look good and sooner rather than later.
“And amid the warnings in the Pacific, NATO war games are taking place in the Black Sea...”
We play games in their backyard, they play games in ours.
If the CCP too over San Francisco today, would SF be a better or worse place to live a year from now? Give 3 reasons for your answer!
Maybe Maisie Hirono will come to the rescue?

With Biden sleepwalking all the big bad players can do whatever they want. They are going to test him.
