IS Japan's defence spending just a complete waste of money?
Let's be honest, if USA is not capable of defending against China's DF41, what chance Japan has?
China's most advanced Mach 25 (31,425 km/h; 19,625 mph; 8,660 m/s) DF-41 ICBM has a range of up to 12,000–15,000km (7,460-9,320 miles) and is capable of carrying ten conventional or twelve MIRV (multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles) warheads with 8 x 250 kt or 10 x 150 kt MIRVs of payloads.
When fired fiom chosen launching locations (Silo, road-mobile Transporter erector launcher, rail-mobile) these missiles can reach and destroy most major cities in USA, in less than 20 minutes, with 150meters target accuracy.
Df 41 can hit Tokyo in less than 7 minutes, one DF 41 can comletely destroy all Japan major cities and targets in one go.
Advice to Japan: stop wasting your tax payer money on military build up; better spend them for the benefit of your citizens.
Negotiate and sign a peace treaty with China, this is better than any American Pie in the Sky.
Ukraine came out and said Navalny's death wasn't in fact Putin (as Biden and the US Policy makers were so quick to decry)! David & Elizabeth react to the news in this short reaction video!

China cancels all flights to Japan, warning its citizen not to travel to Japan Citing "a surge in crimes targeting Chinese citizens" and earthquakes, the Chinese foreign ministry said nationals "face serious security threats in Japan,"
On his way to China, Starmer made this comment:
"Like it or not, China matters for the UK," he declared ahead of the trip. "As one of the world's biggest economic players, a strategic and consistent relationship with them is firmly in our national interest.
That does not mean turning a blind eye to the challenges they pose - but engaging even where we disagree."
(Doesn't he not sound like Mark Carney?)
Will he do anything with China that will anger Trump to threaten UK with a Canada-like 100% tariff?
(Side note: lets face it, if Trump imposes 100% tariff on most countries, the net impact is the same as no tariff, the only difference is US consumers end up paying for more exoensive imported good.)

The Canadain 51st state dilemma: Buy the Kill- switched F35 jets or let US take over its air space.
F-35 “kill switch”, which would allow the Pentagon to disable foreign-operated F-35s.
According to UK's Independent News:
"The United States could alter its decades-old North American Aerospace Defense Command deal with Canada should its government backtrack on the purchase of 88 Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets, the U.S. ambassador to Canada has warned.
In the latest back-and-forth between the U.S. and Canada over the deal, Ambassador Pete Hoekstra cautioned that if Canada purchased fewer fighter jets, the U.S. would “fill those gaps” in security concerns.
That could mean the U.S. would need to purchase more F-35 fighter jets for its own use and use them to intervene in Canadian airspace more frequently."
