Yes I have been watching the JASDF restructuring towards defense of the SW islands due to the inceasing threat from China. Even transporting Tanks from Hokkaido all the way to the south of Japan.I am aware that US forces can help defend Hokkaido easily if needed.

But the continuous milotary build up on the 4 islands, and the increasing Russian naval presence, one even jointly with China, calls for a increased highly visible US presence, both USN/JMSDF drills and land drills in Hokkaido.

Love it! The United States, UK, France, Australiam, Russia, Taiwan (Republic of China), Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore all have no problem with this flag. The tri-color German flag whih goes back to 1919 is distinct from the Nazi flag, a political flag which was in use only during the period that the National Socialist Party was in power. The Japanese Naval Ensign does not fit this category. Nothing like watching the uneducated and misguided digging themselves deeper into the hole.

True, German-Americans and Italian-Americans were interned, but nowhere near the scale of Japanese-Americans. Moreover, the internment of Japanese-Americans was more racially motivated.

This is what happens when you have an unthinking idiot in the White House.
