COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Japanese Defense Reviews on China

Background:




Japan defence review warns of China's military might


17 December 2010 BBC
The major strategic review will shape Japan's defence policy for the next 10 years

Japan has unveiled sweeping changes to its national defence polices, boosting its southern forces in response to neighbouring China's military rise.

It said Beijing's military build-up was of global concern. Japan shares a maritime border with China.

It will also strengthen its missile defences against the threat from a nuclear-armed North Korea.

China has responded saying it is a force for peace and development in Asia and threatens no-one.

China's Foreign Ministry said no country had the right to make irresponsible comments on China's development.

Flashpoints
The National Defence Programme Guideline has been approved by the cabinet and will shape Japan's defence policy for the next 10 years.

Japan is changing its defence policy in response to the shifting balance of power in Asia, analysts say.


Reorganised Defences

  • Troops moved from north to south, near maritime border with China
  • More Patriot missiles to counter possible North Korean attack
  • Defence budget of 23.49tn yen (£180bn; $280bn) for next five years, down 3%
  • More submarines (up from 16 to 22); fewer tanks (down from 600 to 400)
  • Review labels China military build-up "matter of concern"; US-Japan alliance "indispensable"
  • Defences will be scaled down in the north, where they have been deployed since the Cold War to counter potential threats from the former Soviet Union.

The military focus will now be in the south of Japan, closer to China and remote flashpoint islands near Taiwan.

The guidelines say Japan is concerned by China's growing military spending, modernisation of its armed forces, and increased naval assertiveness in the East China and South China seas.

"These movements, coupled with the lack of transparency on China's military and security issues, the trend is a concern for the region and the international community," the new guidelines say.

Relations between Japan and China deteriorated sharply in September, after collisions between a Chinese trawler and Japanese patrol boats near a chain of disputed islands in the East China Sea.

North Korea concerns

The review paper outlines a shift in resources from the army to the air force and navy.

Japan's submarine fleet will be expanded from 16 to 22 and fighter jets upgraded, while the number of tanks will be cut by a third to 400.

Japan's military is constitutionally banned from taking offensive action
North Korea's missile and nuclear programmes were also described as a "pressing and serious destabilising factor".

Pyongyang has fired missiles over Japan and staged nuclear tests in recent years.

Last month it unveiled a new uranium enrichment plant to US experts, and launched an artillery attack on a South Korean island, killing four people.

In response, Japan says more Patriot interceptor batteries will be deployed across the country, and the number of warships which can shoot down missiles will be increased from four to six.

It also plans to cut the number of soldiers by 1,000 to an official headcount of 154,000.

The US has an almost 50,000-strong troop presence in Japan. The paper called the Japan-US alliance "indispensable".

The review paper added that it was necessary to reduce the burden on communities hosting US bases, including Okinawa.

Japan said it would "promote confidence and co-operation with China and Russia" while also developing ties with the EU and Nato.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sparked a diplomatic row with Japan earlier this year by visiting the Southern Kurils, which Japan calls the Northern Territories.

The islands, off the north coast of Japan's Hokkaido island, were seized by Soviet troops at the end of World War II, but Japan still regards them as part of its territory.

Japan has a pacifist constitution. Article Nine of the constitution, which was written under US post-war occupation in 1947, renounces the use of force by Japan in settling international disputes.

The BBC's Roland Buerk, in Tokyo, says the new strategic stance will be closely watched in Asia, where Japan's World War II aggression has been neither forgotten nor forgiven.

  1. So bob had his Lady lawyer write up a binding contract with the City.

    So it was she that decided the land swap was viable and equitable.

    And you who agreed and instigated it, with the City.

    Yet it was you who agreed, with your own son, that it was unfair, to your side.

    You harp on about the injustices of dealing with the City, then it becomes clear that the only one that has been injured is you, at your own request.

    You wrote a contract with the City, did a land swap, just to get a zoning change, on a project that is not only past its' economic prime, it will never be even be born.

    And, now, you have announced that you are leaving for Ohio, before any further development can proceed.

  7. It concerns the Japanese, Chinese and Russians, as it relates to US decline in the Pacific.

    The US decline in influence is not than economic, where we have held our own, and not related to military strength. That is an area where the US maintains both quantitative and qualitative advantages over all others.

    So why has the US lost influence, in Asia, to the point that Japan considers rearming?

    Can it be just "Bad Press"?

    Perhaps caused by the failure of our military to achieve a victory against Islamic border bandits?

    Perhaps the truth is a lack of national direction. Our efforts are frittered away on false hopes and faulty projects.

    Symptoms of which are observable through the parabolic posts of our master of literature.

    China would only become militarily involved with the US, in Asia, if, as in the 1950's it looked as if the US was preparing to invade China.

    Along the historic invasion routes.

    China will not attack Pearl Harbor. It will not attack the US.

    There could only be conflict if the US were to be seen as directly intervening in domestic Chinese affairs.

    ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - China and Pakistan are expected to sign a number of agreements during Prime Minister Wen Jiabao's visit which began on Friday.

    Total value of the deals will be between $10 billion and $14 billion, with another $4.8 billion in commercial deals to be signed on Saturday.


    Interesting way to spend $10 billion USD buys a lot of influence, not a strike aircraft nor main battle tank in the entire mix.

    The EB parable:

    For months bob told us of the depredations the wolves had caused to Idahos elk population.
    Rants against Idaho Game & Fish and the Obama Administration, because the wolves were laying waste to Idaho's elk herds.

    While the commercially published stories tell a different story, entirely. Idaho elk herds have never been larger, nor the results of the hunting harvest more productive. More elk are being taken than ever before. More folks are enjoying the bounty of their "American Heritage" than at any time in Idaho's storied history.

    Now I can understand being opposed to the introduction of wolves onto the National Forests.
    I can understand being opposed to the concept of National Forests.

    But the telling of falsehoods to build a foundation for the parable teller's theme, that's something that needs to be continually deconstructed.

  22. ...There's a vicious cycle at work. Israel continues to hold the West Bank and build settlements. Policing occupied territory and protecting settlers are military burdens, increasing the need for combat soldiers and officers who aren't ambivalent about the job. To meet that need, the army depends ever more on the religious right. Yet this increases the danger of a breakdown in the military when an Israeli government finally does decide to pull out of the West Bank. Large numbers of soldiers, including officers, could refuse to take part...

    Bill preventing big tax hikes heads to Obama Friday

    In a remarkable show of bipartisanship, the House gave final approval to the measure just before midnight Thursday, overcoming an attempt by rebellious Democrats who wanted to impose a higher estate tax than the one Obama agreed to. The vote was 277-148, with each party contributing an almost identical number of votes in favor (the Democrats, 139 and the Republicans, 138).

    The bill's cost, $858 billion, would be added to the deficit, a sore spot among budget hawks in both parties.

    Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said he thought the White House could have gotten a better deal.

    "When I talk to the Republicans they are giddy about this bill," he said.

    Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Fla., called it "a bipartisan moment of clarity."

  48. In family court, a judge turns to ridicule to defuse the rage

    "Faced with warring ex-spouses besieging one another with threats and verbal abuse and dragging their children into it too, Ontario Superior Judge Joseph Quinn resorted to the only tool he had left – a highly unusual verbal roasting.

    ...

    Alternating caustic gibes with amusing observations, Judge Quinn portrayed Catherine – a 36-year-old school caretaker – and Larry, a labourer, as vile, foul-mouthed creatures who had burned through an enormous amount of police and court time waging their futile blitzkrieg.

    He said that they cannot attend their son’s ball hockey games without erupting into loud conflict, and that Catherine once tried to run over Larry with a van. “This is always a telltale sign that a husband and wife are drifting apart,” Judge Quinn remarked dryly.

    On three occasions, a niece of Catherine’s who is engaged to a Hells Angels biker called Larry to warn him that he would be shot dead, Judge Quinn said. “On Oct. 18, 2007, a nautical theme was added,” he remarked. “According to Larry, ‘Catherine’s sister-in-law yelled out her window that I was going to be floating in the canal dead.’”

    Judge Quinn said that Larry, 38, possesses “a near-empty parenting tool box,” and was fond of venting his anger by sending Catherine insulting text messages and giving her ‘the finger’ as he drove by her home. “A finger is worth a thousand words and therefore, is particularly useful should one have a vocabulary of less than a thousand words,” Judge Quinn added.

    Yes you will be arrested, if you request medical treatment they MUST take you to the hospital to be checked out.

    Of course, after shooting someone (legally) you are in NO position to say anything.

    and remember MEDICAL personal are not required to keep what you say private.

    Typically in a shooting situation the flight or fight response is very real and great the adrenaline dump so amazing that you might even piss and shit yourself.

    Our gun class recommends that once the shooting occurs you call the police and state:

    THERE has been a shooting, describe your own health status (i'm ok), tell them your name, location and tell them you are safe, describe where you are SITTING down, legs in front, what you are wearing.

    then hang up. call your attorney.

    when the police arrive STAY seated, put weapon on ground in front, CLIP OUT and open.

    do not volunteer any extra information.

    have your concealed and drivers license at the ready.
