We're about to order the Konsberg and the lockheed missle is in full rate production.

Getting Japan and SK to sit down without fighting is already a handful, and India is in no hurry to full on confront China after they got wrecked in 1962. I don't think most Muricans realize what kind of monster you unleashed upon Asia with decades of technology transfer and investment towards China. Give it another decade, and China probably can crush any of the three with relatively ease.

You fed the dragon, and now it swallows your allies. It's been quite entertaining watching it unfold in Canada.


It's an unlikely prospect. Japan is up to its neck in debt with a dwindling population that is aging rapidly. They will need to spend more and more on social welfare programs. Japanese politicians know those elderly votes will make or break them. Its economic and political influence on the world stage have been declining in the past few decades.

You do realize China has a massive debt problem as well right?

While that is also true, they have a lot more room to expand than Japan. Their economy is still growing at a rate of 6% or more each year, while Japan has been stagnant.
