Japan has voted to allow itself to impose sanctions without UN approval.SKorea has decided they really want us.China can gain from the blackmail but not war and Krazy Kim just may pull the trigger.Haven't kept up with Australia lately.Perhaps we are going to have a solid front?

SK may have decided that they want us, but it's up to us to decide if we want them. I assert that we can't afford them, and they can well afford to take care of themselves, since they are not only our economic competitors but have an economy going like gangbusters. We can operate flexibly from the Sea of Japan, or in Japan itself.

[William McKinley]

Australia is on board. Australia has been even more staunchly allied with us than England of late (even though obviously with much less power or resources).
