Well China will find transgressions if it wants to find them, i'm resigned to that. Just don't be surprised when the other countries welcome a larger US presence and continue to arm up.

I agree with the words, but likely not in the way you meant them. :(

The words of your foreign minister are enough. We never threatened to take those islands, so you cannot use that as an excuse.

So just 1 liners and Lol? What happened to your eloquence nihonjin, aside from the subject of pan-asianism you seem to have become a different person! I respected you as a poster not just because you were able to remain emotionally detached and not take things personally, but also because you...

China Won’t ‘Militarize’ the South China Sea — But It Will Build Military Facilities There | The Diplomat From their foreign minister a few months ago, Lol

The Alliance is strong. Hillary will continue the tradition

Well lets keep perspective, I'm sure his views are a small minority in Japan, probably infinitesimal given the priority they seem to place on Chinese and North Korean interests over Japanese interests while simultaneously arguing that the Japanese were trying to save the rest of Asia in WW2 from...

Pretty disgusting that you continue to support the North Korean regime Nihonjin... my opinion of you has dropped...:( Also source on Japan opening trade with NK, I don't mind if its japanese. Thankfully reality shows otherwise.Even government officials can hold negative personal opinions of...

i'd say this is more credible than either of those claims, but it's not like i've seen the movie so who can say with this. Iran will have to act like it is true though.

Assuming its true, it sounds like the US has access to much of the critical infrastructure of Iran in case things went pear-shaped. That should be more troubling for Iran than Stuxnet.

American hegemony has led to the most peaceful era in human history. Asia has especially benefitted.

How exactly would leaving NATO benefit Turkey given they are at odds with Russia and Iran? How would it help them follow their own interests?

If China rises peacefully, then the US will peacefully let China rise.

no, it would be for a full flyaway f-35 A. It should be noted this only applies to the F-35A, the most common variant. Also the guy who says an F-35 costs 450 million is incorrect by an order of a magnitude at least, the F-35A at least, which is the aircraft variant concerned is currently...

Pierre Sprey is not the designer of the F-16, or even an engineer. He was part of a group of analysts (google fighter mafia) that contributed to the set of requirements for an aircraft that eventually became the F-16. He is also a clown stuck in the 1970's and not to be trusted on issues outside...

funny, I think the opposite when i think of Hillary and Sanders. Hillary is the centrist candidate and is one of the few candidates that has the ability to reach across the isle both due to perception and actual experience. She isn't the best candidate, but compared to the extremists (on the...

like the sanctions or regime change that happened in the Philippines? The US has been pretty benign in Asia relative to the really unsavory areas of US policy such as the Middle-East or (previously) South America. The US would obviously try to come to a compromise or agreement to retain basing...

Well he is clearly intelligent and is capable and willing to engage in fruitful discussion, which is always a pleasure. He is very optimistic about cross Asian relations and somewhat pessimistic about American relations with the countries of Asia though. Countries in Asia including South Korea...

If there was a human close at hand to monitor I could see it, but it is a real ethical problem to have an unmanned killing machine with no human decision process in the loop.
