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.

“Hmmm...If the Russkies or Chinks wiped out Hawaii and Cali...would we be better or worse off?”
That’s a disgusting thing to say even as a joke.
The Bolsheviks had been infiltrating the Russian military for years, that’s why they lost to the Germans and brought about the Russian Revolution.
Every time I hear the Hawaiian Senator open her commie face in committee, I always felt that state was aligned more with the sino/soviet style commies.
Well Free Republic would be history
Not if they just hit San Francisco.
Face it, with xiden it's already there. You just cannot see the hand up bidens colon making his lips and eyes move yet.
Yep.
It’s not a joke...answer the question. Again, 20 years ago I would never ask such a question. Today, it is a completely legitimate question. Try not be afraid of words or thoughts!
Pathetic hyperbole.
No, WW3 fears are only raging in the unethical news media and the bloggers seeking hits.
Every time a US plane intercepts and escorts a Bear off the coast of Alaska these fearmongers try to scare everyone so they can get clicks.
maybe it’s just a tit for tat since we were just in the Black Sea
maybe it’s, Trump’s gone so we can play chicken with Biden
Otoh, I was reading an article about China/India and a comment was that China had effectively encircled India to the point of now threatening India’s access to their mountain water supply by starting construction on a mega dam. The thought struck me that with China embedded in South America on both coasts, (and to a certain extent in Canada) and striking a we-wont-nuke-each-other agreement with Russia, that North America is also encircled.
Pres Biden just met w Putin. Peace in our time!
Commie Russians or Commie Chinese attack Hawaii thee will be a whole lot of tourists bent out of shape.
Much better...
Less poop on sidewalks...
Less crime everywhere...
Less perversion...
Zero financial cost for all elections..
Better transportation...
Stronger political power in Congress for Pelousy and Finesteen...
Also, Finesteen would get her chief advisor and chauffer back... .
Haven’t seen one of those since junior high.
And that’s a long time ago,
There was a time when he would have received an immediate dishonorable discharge.
We’re starting this fight with Russia, and the Russians may finish it. Our gay-prided, transgendered military is not in fighting trim.
“Is that a good game?”
It’s all fun and games until somebody gets hurt.
Somebody almost got hurt once upon a time when we put missiles in their backyard (Turkey) and they decided to put missiles in our backyard (Cuba).
All it takes is a mistake...playing “chicken” when both think the other will chicken out..., but I don’t think that will happen this time, at least not near Hawaii.
