...an agreement that would enhance interoperability and collaboration between their armed forces, as well as of a deal to jointly develop a fighter jet...

Well, that's welcome news, I'm sure, to cheer up the sorely-tried Brits struggling with the "benefits of Brexit" after "taking back" all that "control" they've wrested from the clutches of the EU (aka the Germans). The announced Anglo-Japanese military cooperation will certainly put food on the table for the few, but just not on the tables of the many, especially those who need it most, like the tens of thousands of families eking out their existence on foodbanks, as well as the millions of hard-working families who are sleeping badly, worried over utility bills and dreading the prospect of further Tory austerity policies that will soon bite, taking another chunk out of their savings. Can't help coming to the conclusion that while it may be nice work if you can get it, it's the same old same old "Guns not butter", innit?

Britain is an island facing and, destined to affect Europe. Japan is an island facing Asia and, destined to affect Asia.

Fumio Kishida is Prime Minister of Japan. Rishi Sunak is Prime Minister of Britain. Kishida and Sunak are wise, intelligent young men destined to rule over Japan and Britain with positive results that will affect their countries. And, the World.

Kishida and Sunak are intelligent young men with great power in their hands.

They were the future once. But does anyone really believe these two countries are going anywhere? If so, I'd love to hear about it. It's hard to know which one is gonna make less impression on the future world.

Chabbawanga,

Taiwan is China's business. Why does the United States not

mind its own business? Suppose there's an island off the U.S. coast which

the U.S. claims belongs to the U.S.A. but, the islanders say they want to become an independent nation. Would China sell billions of dollars of arms to the island to defend itself against the United States? No. China minds its own business. Why does the U.S.A.not mind its own business?

No talk about the import of decent quality cheese?

Now that is a disgrace.

Bring back Liz Truss!

Sunak may be intelligent but does not have "great power". Kishida has neither.

You do realise that, despite your aversion to my beloved country, the UK is still one of the top powers in the world? It's within the top six or so economic and military powers. Isn't that good enough for you?
