Japan knows they’re on their own now. Probably have known for a while.

American ships denied entry to both Guadalcanal and Tarawa. Doubt this would have happened if Trump were President.

If Trump was President, gas o line would not be as high as it is now. Nor would groceries be so expensive you could not afford them. But in the election of 2020 the American voter said,”To hell with him. We do not want , nor will we have this honest man having the rule over us. We want Lying Joe Biden , the biggest liar and crook in the history of man ruling us. To hell with prosperity. Give us Lying Joe to lead us. It was made to happen.Enjoy his leadership and all the fringe benefits that go with it.

Why? Those islands are too small to resist the Chinese and Biden won’t defend them.
