They are pretty well armed, particularly Navy and Air Force. Their blue water navy (JMSDF) is aguably as good a destroyer fleet as exists on the planet.

My guess is they could produce nukes in short order if they felt they needed them.

Your insight is appreciated.

Can I ask you, the Sunburn missile seems pretty scary to me. Do we have anything that can knock it out? I know you can't divulge your sources, but this thing scares me. The last second zig-zag built in seems to be designed to foil our target and acquisiton (sometimes slow) computers.

Also, a lot of people think that Asians are all the same. I know Japan HATES China, as Korea hates Japan. If the balloon goes up, what do you think would happen? I know, super open-ended, but I don't have your books yet in front of me (but will!)

Thanks for indulging me. :) I really appreciate your take.
