Japanese beheadings - the folly of the Trudeau approach

[WIP]

That should be no surprise, the right-of-center Liberal Democrat Party has been the predominate governing party in Japan since the end of the Second World War........Necon global fascists conspiracy or a reflection of the (majority) views of most Japanese........whatever fits your narrative I suppose.......

So, along with war on ISIS, War on Terror etc., we can replay WWII all over again? At least the War in the Pacific, if Japan goes rogue, like Russia did after the end of the Soviet Union and all of that communism blather we got marinated in for decades!

I guess we these guys might be afraid now? Not that it matters, seeing as they have been caught.

Not sure of your point?

Hey poochy - What do you think came first, Canadian involvement in those Middle East civil wars or the creation of this ISIS cell in Canada?

Guyser if you have to play with words then don't bother with what I post. Very childish.

Not playing with a thing.

You said Trudeau would cave, for him to be able to cave, he would have to be in power.

Youre enlightened now !

I guess it's that I don't see the rise of Imperialism in Japan as a promising development...regardless of whether U.S. policymakers consider it useful or not. Same goes for this Modi in India! Just as in the Middle East, the U.S. gives little thought beyond their needs of the moment as they go about choosing allies and enemies abroad.

As well they should.....Canada looks out for its own interests as well. This is as it should be.

I think the greater participation of Japan in world affairs is but only a natural reaction to the vacuum created by the growing irrelevance that is becoming of most European nations………

As said though, all nations have interests, surely the direction of the democratic Government of Japan is a reflection of the Japanese people’s world interests……Japan is after all one of the largest consumers of Middle Eastern oil, as such, their interest in the region is only natural. Inversely as American reluctance in Middle Eastern oil declines, so too will their diplomatic and national security interests, leaving Japan but no choice to grow their ability to secure their own interests in a region they deem vital……..

Enjoy! As soon as Harper gets dumped out on his ass, Canada may go back to the previous stature of trying to be independent of U.S. foreign policy.

OK....but that still looks like illegally bombing Serbia, kidnapping Haiti's democratically elected president, and invading Afghanistan.

Big difference !

So, if Japan decides it needs to go get it's oil with guns blazing, you're like, Bob's my Uncle and can I interest you in a few F-35's?

Realeconomik meet realpolitik. Different bucket same shit.

Of course....see WW2...Pacific theatre. Oil is worth fighting...and dying for.

The Japanese are already buying F-35s.......likewise the ability to utilize them overseas:

A choice far longer in the making than the beheadings.......
