The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force on Wednesday started nationwide exercises involving all units for the first time in about 30 years in an attempt to boost deterrence and strengthen its capabilities amid China's ramped-up regional assertiveness.
The GDSF drills, including transporting necessary supplies and testing communication systems, will be carried out until the end of November across the country, with an aim to strengthen the ability to defend remote islands.

This is what happens when you aren't convinced your "ally" has your back, and may even be working for the other team.
It may get China's attention, though. Memories are long over there.....

How in the world does a military go for 30 years without drills. That’s just ridiculous, even with the USA saying we had their backs.

Their Men are worse then ours! They get their rocks off on CGI GFs. They haven’t even the balz to ask a woman or even girl out on a date.

Agreed.
The Japanese still do not like the Chinese.

Now that the Harris/Biden junta is in power it's understandable that Japan,South Korea,Taiwan,Vietnam and the Philippines are scared silly.
To: Tench_Coxe
De Gaulle was no fool. He knew better than to stake France’s existence on the word of DC politicians. The Japanese, South Koreans, Vietnamese and probably the Philippines all need need their own force de frappe or independent deterrence capability now. Stolen American elections have world wide consequences.

Japan is in peril thanks to the Biden sellout. They do well to anticipate Chinese occupation attempts against outlying japanese islands.
