Germany and Japan conducted their first joint military drills on Wednesday in Japan, as Berlin seeks to expand its security commitments in the region.

Three F-2 fighter jets from Japan's Air Self-Defense Force and three German Eurofighter jets participated in formation training to improve communication and tactical skills. The drills, which last until Friday, took place at the Hyakuri Air Base near Tokyo.

According to the Global Times, analysts said that the exercises would help boost Germany's joint air combat capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region.

German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht told the Japan Times that Berlin would see a continuous security commitment to the region.

"The military buildup in the region is picking up speed, geopolitical tensions are exacerbating territorial conflicts and the risk of escalation is increasing," she said. "We are aware that Euro-Atlantic security and Indo-Pacific security are connected. That is why we want to help maintain peace and stability in this important region."

I'd love to see a summary of how various civilized nations conduct their elections. For example: do any such nations have voting on a singly day? I know that some have "rounds" but I'm thinking of one day per "round". Do any require the voter to go to a polling place? Do any require ID when registering to vote and/or at the polling place?

We've all seen photos of people in Third World countries with purple ink on their fingers after voting,which is meant to prevent voter fraud. God forbid we have something like that here!
