Stupid boys playing soldiers. Total lessons learned from the 20th century? Zero. Poor Japan, getting picked on from three sides of the compass, lucky America occupies the 4th.

Everyone needs to pull their heads in......

No they aren't. It's when the 44mm starts putting warning shots across the bow that it gets real.

Japan isn't in Australian waters. Japan has no claims or disputes regarding Australian territory.

I have to say that Japanese warning is very gentle. Water cannons. By comparison , Russians usually give warning shots by 30-millimeter automated cannon and, in case of refusing to stop engines, shoot right into engine compartment of intruder.
