    Interesting take, by banned they mean Japan’s Defense Force used to not have offensive weapons and relied on the United States for defense…

    A deal was made to sell 400 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles to Japan to defend their nation against Chinese aggression.

      Any outlet that has far, far more criticism of America giving weapons to Ukraine so they can defend their country than it does Russia for launching a war of imperial conquest intended to erase Ukraine and its culture reveals exactly what it actually is. And it’s sure as hell not “antiwar”

    “We have tested them and we have a battery or two of them today,” Flynn said. “In 2024. We intend to deploy that system in your region [the Pacific]. I’m not going to say where and when. But I will just say that we will deploy them.”

    Every day we inch closer and closer to war in the Pacific… Was war in Europe (Russia v. Ukraine and the US-led NATO) and war in the Middle East (Gaza v. Israel and the US) not enough?

      Unfortunately, this is how world wars start.

      I genuinely believe the first bullet of WW3 has already been fired.

      It sadly won’t stop until assholes stop profiting from it

      No one is threatening to fire any weapons at China if they don’t indulge in their imperialistic dream of conquering Taiwan.
