Interesting, is this the sign of an increased relationship (trade?) with Japan, or just incidental?
The UK and our NATO allies should have a big push for Japan to remilitarise
Containing a hostile China is key to the future of western hegemony
We can’t afford to support growing poverty I. the UK or pay our public services enough. How are we going to aford bombs and tanks.
I haven’t seen anything about this on the news channels. Would be huge for both defence and future trade.
Great, bringing us closer to World War 3. I can’t wait to tell the conscription office that they can just send me to prison because I’m not going to die in another fucking imperialist war. We have learned nothing; we have forgotten.
