#4 GUAM PDN this AM > JAPAN TELLS US: "START FROM SCRATCH" [MSCAS FUTENMA base deal]. As per MSM-NET, the US has said iff the FUTENMA deal is nixed, the US MARINES WILL STAY IN OKINAWA instead of being relocated to Guam.

Despite any PCorrect Diplomatic rhetoric to the contray, JAPAN = TOKYO GOVT wants to OVERTLY OR OFFICIALLY be allowed to MIL REARM + HAVE A STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARSENAL, AS HEDGE + PROTECTION OF JAPANESE SOVEREIGNTY AGZ CHINA, etal.

The MAHA-RUSHIAN SILENT QIESTION that no one seemingly wants to ask > MANY DECADES AFTER THE END OF WW2, CAN THE US-WORLD [read, ASIA] TRUST JAPAN TO NOT RETURN TO ITS PRE-WW2 MILITARISM.

Not to argue that CHINA doesn't have any IMPERIALIST = WARMONGERING SKELETONS in its closet.

China makes all her neighbors nervous. My take is the Japanese feel they can no longer count on the protection of the United States.
