I guess Iran doesn't have an independent foreign policy then :rofl:

He's on some good stuff.

Yes, we are perfectly abivalent to any sort of peaceful deal China and Japan work out on control of the island, but as clarified, as long as Japan has administration of these islands, the islands are covered under the MDT. South Vietnam was viewed quite differently then than Japan is viewed...

Fairly sure its not weapons radar, but I've heard that its apparently common for countries to try to gather data on foreign (in this case PLA) ships during exercises. For subs its things like (radar?) signatures and such. I'm no avid student in naval affairs, but from what I've heard, Locking...

Idiotic unprovable rhetoric, and this still bears no relevance to your accusation that the US is an empire today. You are wrong by definiton, unless you can state and provide evidence of an 'extensive' number of states over which the US government wields supreme authority. If you seriously say...

Waiting for China's side. 1) Japanese troops don't know what orders the Chinese warship received, they only know the Chinese frigate has its weapons locked and ready to fire. The uncertainty on intent is why it isn't done. It could have sparked a major war if either side acted hastily...

Its not really a choice, a weak democracy leads to dictatorship. Vigilance is key.

Except we aren't an empire by any dictionary definition of the word, we didn't decline after Vietnam, and we aren't in a race to prove we are 'better' than the Mongol Empire in empire building, least of all to you. Again how is this relevant to anything today??? This is borderline...

There are different modes for tracking radar on navy ships, the soldier you speak of was likely referring to a less provocative mode then is the issue here, because if he wasn't I guarantee you it would have become a major international incident, and you would have more sources than just word of...

What relevance does some what if scenario have to today? Simple Chest thumping from you. Explain these so-called 'rules' then. You give no reason why. Japan can build a nuke very quickly, there you go. Do you even know how and whyt he Mongol Empire collapsed :what: not even remotely...

unnecessary escalation, playing a dangerous game of chicken, still not calling a bluff.

The last thing we are worried about right now is China and Japan cozying up... quite the opposite in fact. Luffy500 can believe what he wants, there are people who believe we never landed on the moon, despite all the evidence otherwise after all.

This is old news, why post it?

No they didn't :rolleyes: Firing their weapons would be calling the bluff.

You've pretty much torpedoed any credibility you might have....

:edit: nevermind, looks like that is total worldwide.

Go ahead and do so Hong Wu, you are a cartoon character persona :rolleyes:.

Yes Yes We've been given the finger, so angry, you got us good. :rolleyes:

Canada, the US, and Australia would seem to buck historical trends in that fashion. It is homogeneous culture that matters, not homogeneous skin.

Nothing could be done at that point.
