#1 ION PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > JAPAN TO SEND [100] TROOPS TO REMOTE ISLE OVER CHINA FEARS.

YONAGUNI-jima, close to Taiwan.

AND

* SAME > US PENTAGON RESDIES NEW SHIP-KILLER [LRASMS = Long-Range Anti-Ship Missles] FOR PACIFIC SHOWDOWN [China].

ARTIC = USN LRASMS designed to sink CPLAN warships outside the range of effec Chin countermeasures [read, DF-21 ASBMS].

VERSIES

* DER SPIEGEL > [WW2 Brit SeaForts] WW2 "FORT MADNESS": BRITAIN'S BIZARRE SEA DEFENSES AGZ
GERMANS.

Got da job done.

ARTIC = even after end of WW2 + start of Anti-Soviet Cold War, in 1948 the UKMoD contemplated a Naval Security scheme that required only 11 upgraded SeaForts to protect ALL OF THE SEA LANES AROUND THE UK.

CHINA + DISPUTED CHINA SEAS ISLANDS = CPLA MISSLE-ARMED SEAFORTS + ARSENAL/FIRE SHIPS on routine patrol areas, aka AREA/THEATER DENIAL???

1970's US SAFEGUARD ABM SYSTEM > the USDOD dev a plan to convert offshore US MEWS Platforms into dedicated ABM = BMD Missle Stations.

#2 Again, the US desires to turn over many of its 20th-century, Cold War + Post-Cold War Security responsibilities to Regional Allies-Partners, e.g. JAPAN, etal., to which the latter as a class believe requires their STATE-SPECIFIC DEV, PROCUREMENT OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS + ADVANC MILTECHS.
Many ordinary Japanese including Okinawans want US Milfors to leave Japan ASAP but Japan's Govt wants the USDOD = USMC on Oki to remain until Japan is (1) LEGALLY ALLOWED TO HAVE ITS NUKES, ee BY TREATY; + (2)REGIONAL GMD-TMD IS IN PLACE [2018-N-Beyond].

MORESO IFF US GOVTCRITTTERS. e.g. POTUS BAMMER, is going to be saying that US GEOPOL DOMINANCE IS DECLINING OR WEAKENING due to various factors.

A KINDLER, GENTLER = ANTI-US-ANDOR-NON-US-DOMINATED/CONTROLLED OWG-NWO [Post-GWOT Global-Space Order].

* WMF > TANG CHUNFENG: JAPAN HAS NO LEGITIMATE SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE RYUKYUS ISLANDS [aka OKINAWA Perfecture], THE PRO-MAINLAND/BEIJING CHINESE COMMUNITY IN JAPAN, OKINAWA, + OTHER REGIONAL STATES SHOULD SUPPORT THE ANTI-TOKYO INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT ON OKINAWA.

* SAME > ONE IN FOUR SURVEYED OKINAWANS DO NOT LABEL OR DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS "JAPANESE, BUT AS CHINESE, OR CHINESE OF RYUKYU DESCENT, TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT SUPPORT FORMAL INDEPENDENCE FOR OKINAWA PERFECTURE FROM MAINLAND JAPAN.

* SAME > LIANG TANG: US WILL SUFFER A LONGER WAR + MORE MILITARY DEAD, CASUALTIES THAN IT EVER EXPERIENCED DURING THE KOREAN + VIETNAM CONFLICTS IFF IT CHOOSES TO DEFEND JAPAN IN WAR IWD CHINA OER THE DISPUTED DAOYUS, THE CHINESE PEOPLE PREFER DEATH-BY-LT-STARVATION THAN TO ACCEPT NATIONAL DISHONOR.

* SAME > REVOLUTIONARY COMRADES IN OKINAWA: BEIJING SHOULD EXTEND THE FORMAL PARTY-GOVT AUTHORITY OF ITS DEPT/PROVINCE OF FUJIAN TO OKINAWA TO DEFEND THE ANCIENT RYUKYU BLOOD + TERRITORIES, ALL CHINESE LIVING IN JAPAN SHOULD ACCEPT THE STRUGGLE FOR RYUKYU INDEPENDENCE, RETURN TO CHINA AS THEIR OWN SACRED OR MORAL DUTY.

* SAME > RUSSIA AIMS THE KURILS SWORD AGZ CHINA: PRESIDENT MEDVEDEV DECLARATION OF THE FORMER JAPANESE KURILS AS RUSSIA'S PERMANENT TERRITORY INDIRECTLY BLOCKS CPLAN TRADE, MILITARY ACCESS INTO NORTHERN PACIFIC + ARCTIC ROUTES. INDUCES JAPAN TO EXTEND MILITARY CONTROL OF TOKYO TO YONAGUNI + OTHER ISLANDS NEAR TAIWAN, CPLA BLOCKED FROM SOUTH CHINA SEAS BY US-PHILIPPINE ALLIANCE + US, RUSSIA, + INDIA AT CAM RANH BAY.

Versies

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > PAKISTAN NAVY CHIEF WANTS GWADAR DEAL [Pak-China] CANCELLED.

Taken collectively, CHINA = may be left wid NO DOMESTIC, FOREIGN = EAST ASIAN WARM-WATER PORTS NOT AT MAJOR RISK OF DESTRUCTION ORD ENIAL BY THE US ANDOR US-SUPPORTED REGIONAL POWERS.

China's ability to transcend the Natural, Geopol obtructions of the "First Island Chain" looks worse-n-worse every day, VERY MILPOL DANGEROUS AS CHINA HAS HINGED ITS "MANIFEST DESTINY" = POST-US RISE AS A TRUE GLOBAL SUPERPOWER ON SAME???

But, once again, I digress ....
