U.S. Space Force launches Tokyo unit to bolster deterrence

It just an office room with 10 staffs but it will really cool in media since it has word "Space" on it.

Just admit the fact you don't know what the space force does, no Russian/Chinese spies have that intel

Another breach by the U.S. side of a bilateral agreement, the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty, that says only the Navy, Army and Air Force are granted to use land and facilities in Japan!

That weren't possible unless Japan was still under U.S. occupation.

Why?!

Waste of time and Japan's sovereignty!

If you haven't already read the book, consider reading Chalmer Johnson's seminal work Blowback on the final chapter of USA empire. There is one chapter on Okinawa which applies directly to the USA military's overreach in Japan, Space Force being the latest example.

Not sure exactly what Japan can add, strategic merit, given that so many rockets here tend to explode of late.

Maybe material sciences would be an area Japan can move the 'needle' in space!

The one threatening the stability of the Indo-Pacific region is the US. As long as the conflicts happen away from its land, it's all good for bully of the World.

No, China's threat to all of its democratic neighbors remains.

Space is HOT, no question the militarization is happening fast and furiously. Trump's the Pres. that started Space Force and the industry is VERY excited to have him back!

This move screams "lack of sovereignty" from the host (read: occupied) country.

What self-respecting, decent independent country takes orders from an occupying force?

Money and sovereign state don't ever go hand in hand in Washington for the industrial military apparatus

Just days before the U.S. Space Force’s fifth birthday on December 20.

Mark, Jason, Princess, Keyop, and Tiny.

Russia just demonstrated a nuclear-capable missile system that flies into space and drop payloads at hypersonic speed straight into a precise target - but we have people making fun of Space Force

@travelbangaijin My complaint is too much Space Force and zero diplomacy. Agreements and treaties need to be drawn up but Blinken/Biden and other recent USA foreign relations teams prefer bombs and bluster to discussion.

Keep it up further escalation more money to be made great for regional stability and yeah as paranoid as Yoon
