Great. Now he'll use those in addition to his chronic overuse of the exclamation point.

Appalling.

Ashaming!
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Siege's comments aside, I do wonder how China has been thinking about the past few years. You have American troops in Afghanistan, bases in Central Asia, troops in South Korea, Taiwan and Japan are US allies, rapproachment with India...

From Beijing's perspective it must look an awful lot like American encirclement.
China must surely be happy to know that they could 'liberate' SE Asia the way they did Tibet.  Nobody there is allied to the US.

That said, I'm not sure how important encirclement is in a modern security setting.

Japan must embark on a program of dreadnought construction.

Languish in the morning with all the Timmay threads is like reading the Drudge report, only without a flashing siren graphic.

Jet: I see.

Alright. I guess Japan needs to build more boats then.

Japan recently launched this aircraft carrier helicopter destroyer



Everyone and their dog has those things now, or similar.

It doesn't make sense for Japan to build carriers.  Dreadnoughts are much more sensible.

Indeed.  There's always the off chance they'll get sucked 100 years into the past and become English.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Then I guess dreadnoughts aren't very sensible after all.

I just wanted to get in on the whole alarming thing. :(
