The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force on Wednesday started nationwide exercises involving all units for the first time in about 30 years in an attempt to boost deterrence and strengthen its capabilities amid China's ramped-up regional assertiveness. The GDSF drills, including transporting necessary supplies and testing communication systems, will be carried out until the end of November across the country, with an aim to strengthen the ability to defend remote islands. The GSDF last conducted exercises on this scale in 1993 after the Cold War ended. Around 100,000 personnel, 20,000 vehicles and 120 aircraft will join the drills, which will also involve Japan's Maritime and Air Self-Defense Forces as well as a U.S. Army landing ship. A total of 12,000 personnel and 3,900 vehicles from two GSDF divisions based on the northernmost main island of Hokkaido and in the Tohoku region of northeastern Japan as well as a brigade in western Japan's Shikoku region will start an expeditionary mission to the Kyushu region in southwestern Japan next week. The troops will carry defense equipment during the mission, including tanks, to several training grounds in Kyushu via road and sea. Private trucks, ferries and railways will also be used in the exercise. A GSDF official in charge of the drills said the exercises are based on the 2019 National Defense Program Guidelines, which call for strengthening defense capabilities to help safeguard the Nansei Islands, including Japan-administered, Beijing-claimed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. "In order to respond effectively to various situations, including attacks on the islands, it is essential that the necessary forces are deployed quickly and extensively, depending on the situation," Japan's Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi has said on the drills. "In an increasingly uncertain security environment, the focus of our work will be on operational readiness," the GSDF official said, with China's rapid military buildup in mind. |

Japan starting to drill
US/UK/AU Intel partnership Hmm. What are they seeing? I'm guessing significant military movements. |

Good for them. Sad that they even have to do this but the USA is MIA.

If I were in charge in Japan I would be ordering my military to develop nukes. The USA is over. We will be Brazil in 10 years. Our woke leaders can’t even figure how to beat illiterate tribesman from the 6th century.
I’m betting if their were ever a war between the USA and China we would lose and lose badly. We aren’t the country we once were. A lot people haven’t figured that out yet. |

Wouldn't be suprised if it's down in a basement somewhere ready to plug Part A into Socket B and throw a couple fresh AA Energizers in it. |

China threatens to nuke Japan
"The Chinese Communist Party aired a video in which it warned Japan of a nuclear response and "full-scale war" if the island nation interferes in China's handling of Taiwan. The video, which appeared on a channel approved by the CCP, singles out Japan as the one exception to China's policy to not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear powers. "We will use nuclear bombs first," the video said. "We will use nuclear bombs continuously. We will do this until Japan declares unconditional surrender for the second time." The CCP claims that it will "liberate Taiwan," and it warns against Japan deploying "one soldier, one plane or one ship." |

I bet the Japanese could still seriously fuck up someone's shit if you backed them into a corner. They don't seem to have the same self hate that the Germans do about what they did in WW2.

Sure the Japanese don't have any nukes now but they probably have 20 disassembled and able to be put together in 2 days.
