#1 Do the Chinese really want to mess with the Japanese?

The last time they crossed paths, it didn't turn out too well for the Chinese.

(Yeah, yeah - I know the Japanese are nicer now. But still....)

#2 But the last time, Japan was an Industrial nation, and China had a (basically) 19th century military. Mao changed all that. The PLA is nothing to mess with.

#3 I think it's time we say we're thinking of sharing nukes with the Japanese. (Don't know if they'd want them or not, but saying it would certainly get an interesting reaction.)

I think they've shown they will not misuse them (if they get them) - but the thought of the Japanese having them would surely get some Chinese knickers in a twist. And that's a good thing. ;-p

#4 They're under the Umbrella of
Pax Americana/Trumana/Reganus.

#5 The Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force is nothing that China wants to mess with today. Japan has been building up the MSDF for some time and their training is serious when it comes to defending their territory.

Look it up. There are several very good websites that link to the MSDF's capabilities. They really don't need the US all that much to defend their interests these days (especially since Clinton and his ilk reduced the US Navy to about 200 combat ships effective - something the MSDF might just be able to challenge these days).

#6 The legacy of the Clintoon Dynasty, from gutting the military to infecting State with Moonbats and PCized Ambassadors, will evenutally be our end -- if we don't sterilize every institution we have. Amazing.

And the Wank-o-Matic Wife Wants to be CIC. Right.
