A well publicized training flight of an Osprey group from Futenma to the Senkakus, and landing there will do wonders for telling China to drop this stupid island issue. Hell, we don't even need Japan's permission, we alreday have it under SOFA.

Agreed! The US really needs to step in. After all, we have agreed to defend Japan. The same logic China is using to claim the islands could be used to claim all of the Ryukyus. Last month, a low level Chinese politician said that it was time for Japan to give Okinawa back,, according to JT.

I've heard Japanese politicians say the same thing about Hawaii. Ignore the nutters.

@OssanAmerica / Del Ihle: You guys don't like Osprey and their pilots? Send them to Senkaku and get them shot down, act of war and then drag in all the innocent people of Japan.

Let me give you an insight, Chair of Fed just started buying back bonds, China holds a lot of these to finance America and its war of terror. America will not upset the Chinese cause once they do, the Chinese will start dumping bonds, US will suffer from higher unemployment and super inflation. Hence why US is only urging and putting oil on teh fire so we Japanese stir the fight with China, damaging both our economies.

Ever since America asked Japan to revaluate the yen (increase its value) since we were buying up America and some idiot Japanese politician agreed, Japan has been put into recession for more than a decade. Thanks USA for your protection!

Shonky loans built on a bubble economy is America's fault? Your alternative reality is really interesting.

@Tiger, are you suggesting US to freeze China's investment? How come we did not think of that? Great. Thanks.
