Japan has Marines again!

Only 2100, for now.

China brought this on and this won't cause them to back off, they'll just keep doing whatever they want until something happens.

I still think Japan is the key to N. Korea. Trump tells China to denuke lil kim or we give the Japs nukes.

I remember my Dad told me that when they encountered Jap Imperial Marines in WWII, they were wondering "Who ARE these guys?"

Instead of the short scrawny little** Japs they were used to fighting, the Imperial Marines all seemed to be at least 6 feet tall and 180 pounds.





** - "short scrawny little" was accurate, but nobody thought they weren't deadly.

I thought I heard they had Mongolians and others in their army also.

The Japanese during WWII called them Special Naval Landing Forces, and they were about as different from US Marines as could be.

But... the Japanese Navy also had paratrooper forces.

I guess if we don't want to be China's rival in the Pacific, encouraging Japan to rearm a bit would do it. 

And I doubt we would have to give Japan nukes.  They already have the reactors.  I wouldn't be surprised to learn they already have them or plans to quickly build some.

I don't know.  They are pretty culturally anti nuke.

They have made a few pro nuke noises. And the idea of DPRK nukes overflying them makes those noises louder.

I'm certain the Japanese could develop and deploy a large enough deterrent of nukes within 3-5 years if they wanted.  It's only a matter of political will.  The tech is not an issue for them.
