Warsaw Pact and NATO forces used to shadow each other more than occasionally. Not much to see here.

Hint to China: Stay out of Japanese airspace.

   

Notice the flag on the stern of that Japanese ship - they were not playing nice that day.

   

I noticed that too. Just a little reminder of who used to have the biggest stick on the oceans.

   

And they do again. The JSDFN is the #1 power in the Western Pacific - and anymore that includes accounting for the USA given that we barely even keep a task force in the area these days.

   

Seems to me that sharing the wealth would be a better answer than aggression from either side leading to a possible war.

   

Noble sentiment, but China has very little interest in sharing.

   

The Chinese should make a better effort to remember how many time the chrysanthemum throne fed them their own asses in the past before they antagonize the Japanese too much.

   

I'm sure they haven't forgotten.

   

Perhaps, the Japanese should crash an airplane right in the middle of the flight deck of the "new" Chinese carrier ... just for old time's sake.

   

Notice the wide berth that their line gives to the Vietnamese coast ... who have already proven that they can kick Chinese ass.

   

In '79 the Chinese learned first hand what kind of mad skills the Vietnamese acquired after years of jungle fighting against the French and Americans. The Chinese casualty estimates were far higher than estimated Vietnamese casualties.

   

Options for revenge against Japan ended the minute they unconditionally surrendered and signed a document stating so that also had the signatures of recognized Chinese government representatives on it. Maybe this means nothing to the ChiComs today, or to some fearsome armchair drinkers-of-blood like yourself, but it means that if China attacks Japan over what happene seventy or eighty years ago, the US and a whole bunch of others (probably including Canada) go to war in Japans defense. The Japanese are a civilized, democratic, and honourable allied nation & people. Their fascism was burnt out of them with nuclear fire and they kind of joined the good guys team after they learned their lesson and came to their senses. Do make a better effort at getting over the fact that we won the last war against them.

   

Okay...that was funny!

   

You're looking at the wrong side of the line. Their line represents the 200 mile limit from the islands they claim. The proximity of that line to Vietnam is coincidental.
