Or maybe they are now trying to raise their sphere of influence since South Korea and China are now gaining worldwide influence to the detriment of Japan. possible. idk. but their people may not like that. thats why the brainwashing from young. japan is still strong, dont need a deployable military to be strong. they got strong "self defense" any time can be offence. the problem is when they got too strong economically.

The money raise meant for China to build a modern and powerful navy then was use to upgrade the summer palace instead of china Navy! In those chaotic times, so without a strong navy, china got invaded in the end this summer palace got burn down by the invader! thus the story of 火烧圆明园. so who fault was it really that China got invaded then? without a strong army, it is only a matter of time you get bullied! that why we spend so much on SAF! imagine Ho Ching uses SAF money to build the world most beautiful gardens in Oxley, then we get invaded by North and South neighbour, acceptable? your history abit haywire but we get your point 😁 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(dont say i anyhow drag malaysia in hor, just eg only) thats why sun yat sen say dynasty cannot liao. cannot save liao. must change gahmen (dont say i anyhow drag ah sun in. he was there at that time period) india got vikrant 45,000 tons. italy got 2 carrier, both total 43,800 tons. should be just equal in capability. but depends on what planes and what ships comprise of the fleet. this one got to go watch blinkov already. he know better.

Anyway, nowadays the japanese youths are more concerned to live a life of cheap clothing and not stressful life. Japan sun is going down.... which is why they very anxious to start the nationalism program thing. its actually ok if for their self protection. but frankly their worst fear that china will invade them will never happen, they only need to be careful they dun become a tool for some 1 else. 給別人dang chiang si Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
