    Oh that’s rich.

    Iran will get them long before Japan does. After what they did to China… it’s only a matter of time. China knows it, Japan knows it and sees the us slinking off that side of the world stage.

    Just like at a hood party Japan is getting knocked out before they leave. Their boy been attentive but he seems to be leaving with that chick over there… China is perking up and no way they are gonna let em slide.

    If you don’t mind the allegory.

    Crazy they want nukes now, considering how much they hated the first two they got. Everyone’s a critic.
