Japan and the US should reopen the old gunnery ranges in the area. mine them, and send out NOTAMs and Sea warnings that the ranges are again active and unauthorized entry into the area could result in ships and Subs being sunk or damaged, and aircraft could be engaged as well.
Anti-ship missiles and Air defense Missiles on the Islands would be great too.

Posted in: We want hunters to be able to fire in urban areas if the situation is right. See in context
Totally fine for life saving situations. Most Hunters in Japan are well trained and excellent shots with many years of experience.
If there is a Bear roaming around in a residential area where kids walk and play, waiting for the police to make a decision is of course foolish... but, This is Japan and the Laws are very very different compared to many other countries on a topic like this.

Why create a card to do the same thing a present card does?? (i.e. Nat Health Card)., And why make it mandatory??
Seems its another effort for the Government to access all aspects of you financials, medical, and probably all your transactions in the future.

Posted in: China, Japan trade blame over confrontation near disputed islands See in context
Japan should immediately deploy anti-ship and Air Defense weapons to the area. Then, tell Chinese vessels (military or Coast Guard types) that if they do not leave the area, they will be forced out by lethal means if required. Yes. SINK one of their boats quickly and film it with all the radio conversation.
Do NOT let China get away with this crap!
