Japan is rich but isolated geographically on that bony island with scant resources and vulnerable lines of supply while the PRC is rapidly militarizing. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30051589 It's a race between becoming an uninhabitable radiation zone, or falling into the sea. It would appear that way, which is why a good old fashioned war might be on the cards soon. Really big ones tend to kick-start the economy in some very unique ways. |

An LDP/Restoration government is likely to take a harder line on foreign policy. Quoting: The Tauremini This is all moot. There won't be a Japan 5 years from now. |

Japan and China have a mutual hate relationship. And no wonder, given their history. But, I believe Japan has a number of nuclear weapons and would use them to go out in a blaze of glory, should it come to war between the two. I don't think China would be so foolish as to start a conflict, though. |

I don't think China would be so foolish as to start a conflict, though. Arabs have a saying, "With my brother against my cousin. With my cousin, against the world." What I have seen in many dreams is this: Japan will unite with China and Russia. They will successfully invade. American Indians will aid them so that all Indians with traditional long hair will be banned from major cities, which will be barricaded. Remember, the Japanese actually resent the U.S. for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They don't care about their imperialist, enslavement policy that brought it about. They all are well aware of every rape and/or murder case brought against U.S. sailors and Marines on the islands. Blacks also commit a lot of crime there. (Seriously) Japanese have a difficult time identifying blacks, and convictions are almost zero. I have never seen greater racism, anywhere, ever, than the pro-black racism of blacks in Japan. There are clubs where only blacks or Japanese women are allowed. White or Hispanic, walk in, get beat down. That's it. No discussion. Black Marines used to play a game. I forgot the name, exactly. It was something like "Punch" or "Knock-out". The rules were simple. Each player put in $5 (varies). They drew straws. On his turn, each man had just one punch to knock out the next person who rounded the corner, no matter who it was. They knocked out old ladies, put out teeth from strangers, and once punched a Marine officer (not knocking him out). The officer said, "You just f***ed up. You hit an officer." At this, the group beat him into the hospital. Another time, a very attractive Marine female officer was abducted while jogging outside the base wall. It was a group of American blacks. They gang raped her. That made the base paper. How many local girls suffered the same? So, yeah, Japanese totally hate Americans. There is an annual protest day when the Americans are told to stay on the base. Gangs ride around in armored buses with sticks and weapons looking for U.S. soldiers to teach a lesson. Yes, the Japanese have some hatred of Americans. However, for the record, the Americans still have never equaled the brutality and stark evil of the Japanese in China and in Korea. When it is their turn, it is going to be dark. Trust me, the Holy Spirit has shown me that, too. Are you right with God? Have you sought to become a direct follower of God, or do you still follow men on tv and behind pulpits Sunday mornings? Better ditch those false teachers and find the real God. "Come out of her my people, lest you suffer with her for her iniquities." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29896802 Japan 12/16/2012 06:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is he going to stop the radiation from Fukushima? Of course not. Japan is now an experiment, like a Petri Dish. Fukushima is certainly a worrisome event but it is hardly the end of the world. Have a sense of perspective. In March 2011 GLP was full of people screeching that global doom would be here in less than a month. It's been over a year and a half now and the doom has yet to materialize. I'm not saying that it's harmless and there won't be problems...merely that it isn't what GLP exaggerations have expected. And there is more to Japan than Fukushima. Other problems include social malaise, economic malaise, and problems with China and Korea. The DJP has done a shitty job of dealing with these matters and a shift to the right is just what the country needs. |

This country is truly lost. DJP = globalist/socialist agenda. They would be working towards mass immigration like in Europe, multikulti/race-guilt politics, "diversity" etc. Those policies have failed everywhere they have been tried and would drag Japan down into a crime-ridden third-world cesspit. |

There is a massive cultural problem in Japan that is maybe more threatening than Fukushima. The current Japanese generation seems to be utterly nihilistic, not to mention bizarre. |
