    Massive Japanese Protest Against a New US Military Base in Okinawa Island

    I don't understand what he said anyway. The US is an integral part of Asia's economic prosperity, removing it would doom Asia - and much of the rest of the world. Weak US consumer spending and sentiment is currently exacerbating China's slowdown, why would further removing the US be a good...

    Global Hawk:o: :yahoo: Major capability upgrade that will be. Has Japan explored its own cooperative engagement capability? It has all the pieces, except for the long-range land-attack weapons (for now;)), but I haven't noticed any official news. Now I know better than to assume a lack of...

    That's not very nice:(. Denmark stinks. :lol:Going the American route, eh? Just arm everything? Not bad, not bad. Perhaps the JASSM would be better than the tomahawk though: EMP Unitary Rumor has it that the LRASM will have a land-attack variant.

    Yeah, you really don't know what you're talking about. Since when was Norway considered Slavic? Slavic Norwegians are Germanic, not Slavic. North Germanic @Nihonjin1051 can you give me a rundown of the ethnic makeup of the Nordic peoples? Last I checked we weren't Slavic.
