By the Government of Japan, in response to North Korea's threat earlier today to treat 'severe sanctions' as a defacto 'declaration of war'.

We need to encourage Japanese re-armament toute suite.

They are better armed than you might think. They 've got a small blue water Navy, an Air Force that can easily reach North Korea, (Which includes F-15Js, E-767 AWACS, indigenously built fighters).

BTW, the South Koreans have F-15Ks, pretty much the same as USAF F-15E Strike Eagles, with LANTIRN precision targeting, navigation, and terrain following pods.

I'd be button popping if those -Ks took out Little Kim, since I worked on the design of the terrain following system, which would be very useful in the mountainous terrain of the Koreas.

"...Japan won't ask for any green light to be 'given'. They will simply move ahead per what is in their national interest and right of self preservation. If we were them, we would do the same..."

I think we're about to, AIT. We - the USA - will have to act against Iran by April, 2007, when they will have produced enough fissile material for an A-Bomb.

When they have a bomb, they will attempt to deliver it upon Israel, and that cannot be allowed. Amanutjob is as crazy as Kim, and it's quite probable that both will be attacked conventionaly.

Keep your head down, old friend..............FRegards

The US Navy is so immensely vast that EVERYTHING else is "small" relative to it...

But in terms of modern ships the Japanese Navy is actually one of the largest in the world.

This Korean event, like the Hezbollah event a couple months back, are distractions intentionally created to sidetrack our actions against Iran.

"Kim Jong il scripted and directed the blast at Seoul's Kimpo Airport a few months before the Seoul Olympics in 1988, seriously injuring people, in order to scare off the World from Seoul because he was 'jealous' of them being in the spotlight and he could not co-host".

I was in a cab on the way to my hotel in Seoul when that blast went off, I missed it by minutes!
I was in S. Korea to install the Voicemail® system they bought in an effort to impress the world with their embrace of "leading edge" technology.

I posted this on the other thread regarding NKs in Japan. Read up on the threat guys, these folks are no joke. We could beat em...but it would be ugly. They've trained for this for the last fifty years. Whatever happens...won't be cheap.

Well, let it collapse, and the sooner the better. Who would be missing it besides the unreconstructed stalinist defecatives?

I'm going off memory and that's never all that reliable but I do recall it mentioned recently that South Korea kept approx 1 million men in uniform as a standing army.

As anyone who's trained in or been stationed in Korea will attest, these aren't the 1950s type Korean soldiers. These guys are hard from the floor up and it will be their families they are fighting to protect.

The Japanese police are pretty much useless . Good at helping little old obaasans across the street , or at giving directions from their cozy seat in the koban ( police box ) ...Co-ordination body ? Haha...that's a laugh ...The love forming these " bodies " but what usually comes out is no bueno . Laugh laugh ...

Abe and his LDP cronies are using this wacko jacko crapola from NK to scare the populace and make the sheeple feel even more indebted and loyal to THOSE IN CHARGE so when the time comes to have " those to be governed " told to fork over more of their hard earned yen they will willingly do so with heads bowed . Somebody has always got their hand in your pocket over here ; the nanny state utopia ? Hehe...

Japan is still under the terms of unconditional surrender...

Japan will never have a nuclear weapon, ever...

Now, Japan just might be able to build a conventional, fully equipped military, with permission from the USA.

I would actually like them to become a state...
