I get where you are coming from, but unlike Ukraine.

Japan has quite a big memory (its own history). And unlike Germany it hasn’t been guilt shamed to death.

I like to believe that Japan is smarter than being an american pawn. But you know, the Vaccine rollout proved me wrong. So we shall see.

But one thing I observe I do observe from Japan is. Is that the leadership there really keeps their population in the dark when it comes to these level of politics.

Hey Kaz

I get where your coming from but unfortunately…. Japan is bound to American strings. Undoubtedly the US war machine will make massive profits.
I’m also getting a ‘sacrificial lamb’ feeling about this whole thing.
Same as Ukraine.
Along with the threat of wider war…

But at the same time, since you have all those arms it would be a waste to just let it rot away.

Personally Japan needs a army which isn’t bound to American strings. If they can succeed with that, than as far as I know its a good thing.
