When the world’s de facto “sheriff” for the past 80 years steps down, does that return us to a lawlessness like that of the 1800s Wild West, where every town had to find its own lawman?

    Security is ALWAYS contextual: in the current global mess??

    Yes, Japan NEEDS to go nuclear.

    Probably within 3y, possibly as little as 2, China will have the US rampaging on “NATO”, with Putin, backing that as much as it can, from the shadows…

    but it will be taking-advantage of the absence-of-NATO to be rampaging/smashing/possessing all of Asia that it can.

    Including Japan.

    Arm TO THE TEETH, IMMEDIATELY, & fight to the death, exactly as Canada needs to do.

    The US only needs to smash Canada & Greenland so as to be able to destroy Europe in a pincer, between Trump & Putin.

    The world’s “game” is not even on the same “board” as it was, last year.

    Survive!

    HAVE the means of forcing your own survival.

    Please don’t obliterate yourselves, the way the Democratic-party did within the US of A.

    I see the strongest possible rationale for development of nukes by countries like Japan, Ukraine, Poland, Australia. They’d be fucking stupid not to have 50 or 100 nukes at the ready.

    I guess all those Godzilla movies weren’t enough to teach them about the hazards of nuclear weapons. This is all our fault. We failed them. Godzilla will happen and it will be a direct result of Trump’s incompetence.
