Kim is a child.
If this test occurs, the first thing Bush should do is announce that he will make an emergency trip to Tokyo to consult with the Japanese Prime Minister and his Cabinet.
While there, the President should deliberately insist on Japan's right to self-defense.
At the same time, the Prime Minister should announce that a Navy Bill will be submitted to the Diet for consideration and Imperial Rescript.
Six carriers of the CVNX class should be included in that bill. The President should announce that the United States understands that present conditions require Japan to see to the safety of its people, and that the United States Navy will assist in planning and maneuvers for Japan's projected new fleet.
In a single stroke, all of Beijing's plots and plans would go down the tubes. All because of a vainglorious, spoiled little nutcase of a man who can't leave his palace without wearing elevator shoes.
Be Seeing You,
