Italy, Japan sign agreement on defense cooperation

While the people are poorer and poorer the government is spending more and more with the west on weapons that they will never use.

One in Mediterranean, one in pacific, that's really relevant for Japan defense.

I'm British, which means I have to Insert the joke about the Italian tank with six gears, five in reverse and one in forward in case they get attacked from behind.

there was coalition in history like some say 8plus decades ago and history knows how all have ended...

This isn't a weapons deal: it's a cross-service agreement.

And I hope the weapons that are made are never used. That means their deterrence effect was sufficient to prevent a devastating, actual war.

Really promising news.

Japan and Italy have a strong history of military co-operation, dating from WW2. So this alliance is a pretty logical fit between two very similar nations of famously passionate, freedom-loving people.

Someone made a comment about WW2, good.

Just a nonsense agreement to satisfy the pathetic geopolitical whims of good old US.

Puppets..
