Title: Would Japan Ever Make the Same Mistake Again?

This time under an umbrella of US protection?

Quote
"President-elect Biden gave me a commitment that Article 5 of the US-Japan security treaty applies to the Senkaku Islands," said a delighted Suga. And what does Article V commit us to?

"Each Party recognizes that an armed attack against either Party in the territories under the administration of Japan would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger…"

Message: The US will treat a Chinese attempt to take the Senkakus, tiny rocky outcroppings in the East China Sea, as an attack on the USA, and America will fight China to secure Japan’s right to keep the islands.

For those who think that antiwar.com is still pro-Trump, it's not it's antiwar.

So you’re saying that you would let China take over territory that isn’t their’s militarily?

Why is it OK with you for China to wage war?

I agree with Biden, if China wages any kind of land grab/war against Japan then the US should let China know that will not be tolerated.

I won't say whether I disagree with that or not Gorgeous. Hearing my opinion would be counter productive. But I will ask you another question:

If the US wages any kind of land grab/war against some country where China has interests, should China let the US know that will not be tolerated?

The title of this thread refers to Japan's mistake of becoming a warring nation in 1939. That resulted ina small scale nuclear attack on Japan. If there's another one it won't be a limited nuclear attack.

How does Japan's leadership think on this subject? Are they emboldened enough by US assurances to move ahead and settle the issue once and for all?

Is China ready yet? If not then wasting time just gives China more time to get ready to handle any outside aggression. And don't discount the defensive alliance that has been formed between Russia and China.

The OP implies that nothing should be done about this standoff with China and also the standoff on the two China's situation in which the US is beginning to push the bounds that have kept world peace up til now.

If you intend to behave appropriately and stay on topic, I'll entertain your ideas. It's entirely up to you.
I have no intention of tampering with any of your posts. I consider that to be out of bounds for this forum. l
That is, right now at least under the current format.

It’s perfectly appropriate.  You are so bad at trolling.  Hopefully, JMT gets tired of your Trump threads and bans your account soon.   You just take up space.

Letting China start annexing nearby territory, especially of our allies, is probably the dumbest thing the US could do.  What would you do?  Do you want to be Churchill or Chamberlain?  I'm a Churchill guy myself.

If China wants to please antiwar.com they should probably not annex other countries.

What allies do you have in mind? The Nato article 5 won't allow that and as far as I know it's never been up for question with China. You do understand that China has decided on a peaceful approach instead of a military response to US/Nato aggression and expansionism?

I can answer your question if you can lay out the hypothetical you're imagining. As it stands right now, I see it being the US that has intentions of encroaching further on China's borders and so it's more a question of what should China do. I can answer that one too!

Currently China is in the process of forming a peaceful alliance with Vietnam. Any comments on what the US should do? The US has been cut out and has been displaying very large naval force in Thailand.

Regardless of your hurt feelings you need some time to lick better, there's no doubt that your spammer friend is ignorant on that which makes up Nato and the significance of it's 'article 5. When, or if the US becomes involved with active military aggression against China, could you explain to him how Nato becomes a player?

And then how Canada will become ground zero too in the nuclear war that could follow?

I'm sure we all know what article 5 means. It's where the hell did you dream up this ridiculous idea of the US waging war against China. did you have a bad dream the other night? No more lollipops near bed time OK?

NATO and Article 5 does not apply unless the US has been attacked. The closest US territory is Guam.

Maybe the US could try to trade off some Western country for H.K., S.K. Phillipines, Vietnam, or Japan.

China may be possibly be coaxed into finding some incentive to letting go of Cuba or Venezuela?

Even though they have no reason to trade off anything when they're sitting the the cat's seat.

We'll undoubtedly see more aggression comeing soon, as Biden has set up a very hawkish cabinet to take care of the losses by Trump of allowing a leg up for both Russia and China.

I'll stoop to answering you squid because it's a reasonable question this time. Even though it's not addressing directly and honestly that which I've claimed to be happening. I'll consider it close enough in your case.

My claim is that the US is encroaching on China's territorial waters.
To help you understand this more clearly you could imagine China flying over the Bahamas with war planes or cruising those waters with their warships.

Reasoned and polite replies from you will be entertained. Spamming won't!!
