#3 Germany has been working on how to tax American expat incomes since 1946 or so. Democracies aren't good at this kind of thing, that only a few petty bureaucrats in a corner of the 27th floor of the secondary annex building really care about.

#4 All things equal, IMO the CORE ISSUE here is REGIONAL + INTERNATIONAL TRUST, ACCEPTANCE OF A NUCLEAR-ARMED OR "RE-MILITARIZED" JAPAN, ALBEIT DEMOCRATIC. Wid the end of the Cold War, Tokyo now deems US Milbases in Japan as a de facto COST BURDEN.

CHINA > on its part deems its "EAST/NORTH ASIA NAVAL PROBLEM", i.e. breakout from the "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN" vee US, as "MAKING-OR-BREAKING" its rise to true global superpower status.

THERES ALWAYS 2012 + Pert(s)-forecasted MASSIVE SOLAR STORMS.

To wit,

WMF > SEPTEMBER 22, 2012: US ECONOMIC, GEOPOL POWER MAY BE HEAVILY DAMAGED BY ANTICIPATED MASSIVE SOLAR STORMS. UP TO 1.0MILYUHN AMERS DEAD AFTER ONE YEAR. US DEGRADED TO "THIRD WORLD NATION" STATUS AFTER 4-10 YEAR RECOVERY PERIOD?

IOW, US = THIRD WORLD NATION? after Year 2022-2025 [ r.o.]???

Year 2022-2025 is AFTER the projected Year 2018-2020 timeline [MSM-Net] for US deployment of reliable/effective GMD-TMD around the World.
