Japanese troops begin nationwide drills for 1st time in 30 years

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

They should have continued doing this for 30 years. Why are we STILL in Asia?

For the same reason we are still anywhere. The military industrial complex is big business.

It seems everyone knows what a disaster biden is except liberal americans who cannot overcome their irrational hatred of Trump--The famous TDS syndrome.

Which I think is driven by several factors though many ascribe it just to stupidity.

I think more is involved.

Not being a psychiatrist yet I think psychiatric factors are involved in much of the irrational hatred of Trump especially in the case of intelligent liberals.

Though most who vote democratic are not intelligent....just people who want free stuff and are too lazy to work for what they want.

That especially includes the minority group who believes they are entitled to be supported by the white working class.

Intelligent many of them---yet they know not what they do.

Look at all the leftwing liberal Jews in Russia that facilitated the slaughter of millions...as in the end justifies the means....a core belief of communists.....the problem being their end was much worse than what they had at the beginning....hence millions of lives lost for nothing...something even worse than nothing actually.

Many of the descendants of jewish communists in Russia immigrated to America ...mostly to New York ...got involved in the labor unions (a great many of them) and vote liberal enmasse....though a few of the younger ones are beginning to steer away from that.

The media succeeded in demonizing Trump to such an extent that many liberals actually think their irrational hatred of Trump is morally based.

The liberal need to feel morally superior has long been recognized as a primary factor in liberal motivation.

The problem with this 'liberal moralism' is that it is quite the reverse.....stealing from Peter to pay paul is just one example, another being their ridiculous sympathy for those who do not deserve it....criminals and other suffering lowlifes.

Mistakenly believing because if someone is suffering or a minority that entitles them to a better life and outrageously that the government should force decent citizens who work to pay taxes that support the lowlifes, the criminals and all who want to game the system and are not willing to work to support themselves.

Which reminds me of something else.....it has been documented liberals give less to charity than conservatives....documented.

They cry their crocodile tears for the suffering masses but refuse to put their money where their mouth is....they want the white working class to foot the bill.

Trillions of dollars (literally) were wasted in the LBJ so called war on poverty......it benefited no one....they in fact became even worse and more lazy....having kids just to get a bigger gubmint check....kicking out their husbands to git a bigger gubmint check....now most of their children have no father present in the home and roam the streets all hours of the day and night looking for something to steal or to have some fun stabbing some old Asian lady, or pushing some elderly person down some stairs just for fun.

In a nutshell the big difficulty liberals have in recognizing joe for what he is --does not come from logic or any sort of rational reasoning....it comes from emotion and a basic misunderstanding of the human condition culminating in a belief in a utopian society based on communism/marxism/socialism.

Our universities are full of these(for lack of a better word) demons.......followers of Satan hell bent on destroying America whether they realize it or not.

What does any of that have to do with the topic of this thread?

Economics and security

Economics and security

No reason we should still be providing military 'security' for the third largest economy in the world.

If they would have started building their military 30 years ago they would be completely self sufficient by now.

This idea that "Them Japs get a military they're gonna take over the world" is a line of horse shit whose time ended in the 1950's.

This is a scam, and though I don't blame the Japapanese we need to move out.

The same for the EU. Shit needs to stop.

Yeap, they say lots of amorphous shit, don't they?

Your government is not your friend.

It only seeks to grow itself as the 'servants' of it enrich their true benefactors, the corporations, while robbing you blind through taxation.

@@@@@@@
The Pentagon did not detail what Milley spoke about in his two conversations with China's top general — one of which reportedly took place days before the U.S. presidential election, with the other reportedly dating to shortly after the Jan. 6 riot and attack on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.

So, the pentagon does not know what milley said to to the commie general but bob woodward does?

I think its time for libs to release the un redacted transcripts or shut the fuck up with their lies

TOKYO, October 16. The new Prime Minister of Japan Fumio Kishida admitted that as part of the revision of the national defense strategy, it is possible to develop the potential of Japanese troops aimed at preemptive strikes on missile bases on the territory of a potential enemy. The head of the Japanese government said this in an interview with the largest Japanese newspaper Yomiuri, excerpts from which are given on Saturday.

Kishida said.... Well, why does he dislike Japan so much? After all, after such a "preventive" strike, the japanese islands will have to be erased from all maps of the world...

Preventive strike against what exactly state? There must be a reason, why they named Kaga their second Izumo-class light carrier.

Realizing they can no longer count on America for their defense they are going to do what they have to do.

They should also begin training Japanese citizens in using rifles and pistols...that is how Switzerland kept the Germans from invading. If they can't hold the ground, it becomes less desirable to attack....

Point being, if the Commander in Chief is taking his orders from the CCP, the number of troops won't matter
