Russia should slow down energy deliveries to Japan, and jack the price up.
Don’t do it Japan.
China just needs to wait until the Biden-Blinken fools, zeepers, deep-state and their allies have exhausted the USA with stupidity.
Consider the headline from the point of view of production and delivery. Why not supply Ukraine directly, if that is the aim? Sounds like someone wants a "pass through," and it is certain that neither the ordinary folk in Japan or the US will earn anything at all from this, but someone somewhere will be paying. US taxpayers? Again?
What a vile joke this country has become.
Depleting the stocks of all NATO countries. The Ruskies must be impressed.
China is watching the US disarm as it prepares to invade Taiwan.
Beijing Benedict Biden continues to deplete and weaken our military making it easier for some country like Mexico to declare war on the US and win.
China is watching the Russian army smashed into little pieces by an international alliance. They now know they can expect the same should they move on Taiwan.
First South Korea, now Japan. Isn’t it fun fighting another proxy war with Russia and probably China...this time in Ukraine.
Don't think China isn't pulling some strings in Ukraine. Their dirty little paws are everywhere.
That is embarrassing
China - “Let you and him fight!”

Japan has NO CHOICE in that they are subservient to the US, just as Europe is. They will disarm and leave themselves exposed, or they will lose the protection of the US.
And like Europe and the US, once this Ukraine crap is over, and the Neocons are properly spanked - Japan will tell the US to F-Off and will again be a military power.
...and so was it such a good idea by the Neocons to cause the war in Ukraine by goading Russia? I don’t think so, but others may think differently.

Actually, Japan is conducting its largest military build-up since WWII that “will make the country the world’s third-biggest military spender”.
“TOKYO, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Japan on Friday unveiled its biggest military build-up since World War Two with a $320 billion plan that will buy missiles capable of striking China and ready it for sustained conflict, as regional tensions and Russia’s Ukraine invasion stoke war fears.
The sweeping, five-year plan, once unthinkable in pacifist Japan, will make the country the world’s third-biggest military spender after the United States and China, based on current budgets.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who described Japan and its people as being at a “turning point in history”, said the ramp-up was “my answer to the various security challenges that we face”.
His government worries that Russia has set a precedent that will encourage China to attack Taiwan, threatening nearby Japanese islands, disrupting supplies of advanced semiconductors and putting a potential stranglehold on sea lanes that supply Middle East oil.”
“His government worries that Russia has set a precedent that will encourage China to attack Taiwan”
Well your Neocon friends sure as hell didn’t help the Taiwan situation. It’s almost like the Neocons WANT China to attack Taiwan.
...the question is why? Perhaps a new superpower war excites the Neocons? If not, then why are the practically BEGGING China to attack Taiwan.
It is great for America that Japan is getting closer to us and our Pacific allies and building up its military.
This invasion by Russia is really helping us all prepare better for the China threat and Russia.
