The Price we pay for "Convenience".
This is why I reiterate to the tellers when they laugh at me for going into the Bank Branch every time to withdraw my money instead if using the ATM - Because of Worms like these!
"Oh, but Online Checking and ATM Transactions are 100% Safe and Secure Sir" - And I read stuff like this and think "Riiiiiight"
Uh Not, I'll go into the Branch Thanks.

@BertieWoosterMay. 09, 2013 - 10:53PM JST "Saketown, America and Japan will have to democratise their own countries first. Surely you don't think of the U.S.A. and Japan as being democratic, do you?"
LOL - Japan is a Democracy (Parliamentary). And Yes, so is the The U.S.
We got that thing called "The Constitution" and "The Bill of Rights".
Read up on it sometime shipmate. ;)

The PRC just wants The U.S. out of Asia.
We're undoubtly a HUGE thorn in their side when it comes to their push to Communize the entire Western Pacific.
We will not leave Okinawa nor let it fall into the hands of Communist Maoist Extremism.
America and Japan will continue a "Pivot" to Democratize ALL of Asia so future generations can make a Democratic Choice on how their Governmets should Work for the people's benefit and not the Communist Leaders benefit.

Tssss...This is the typical Communist "Fish Wrap" coming from the Maoist Propaganda Machine on Mainland China.
Unfortunately, for most Chinese living on mainland China, they'll believe this rhetoric because they've been so brainwashed by their own State Run Media for so many decades that this kind of "Fish Wrap" won't go away anytime soon.
Not to worry, the U.S. will not leave Okinawa for another 300 + Years according to our current Defense Budget and our New Renewed Pivot to further Democratize Asia.

Can't wait to see the Zumwalt Class "Stealth" Destroyers. These new DD's are going to make all the enemies of Freedom and Democracy think twice before raising any radar lock.
Furthermore, with all the LCS's being commissioned and the Arleigh Burke Class DDG's rapidly going into service, I hope The Navy continues to keep the Ticonderoga Class Cruisers around a bit longer. At least the CG's can carry a larger payload for when you need them.
I think the Amphibs are getting a New Platform: USS America LHA-6 "My Ship - My Country".
Nice to see the USS America back in action.

France just assisted Communist China by upgrading their Military Capabilities by selling Communist China Helicopter Landing struts for their Missile Frigates.
Thanks a lot France!
Your efforts at assisting Communist China's aggressive incursion of the Western Pacific just made the world a little bit more nervous.
I guess the Frenchies are still pissed that FDR told them to exit the East Indies during WW2.
Remember this France: If you go to bed with Communist Dogs, then you will surely wake up with Communist Fleas.
Don't believe me? Go ask South America. The fleas are sucking them dry...

When the day Communist China allows their People the right to Vote for their Politicians vice Goverment Selected Politicians THEN we can talk about "NationalIsm".
Brainwashing the populace as Communist China does gives them No Right to lecture The United States on "Nationalsim" and or who we choose to side as Our Allies and Friends.
China needs to drop Communism...it's a dangerous disease.

LOL - Oooops!
Inose-san should just take a sound bite from our American Politicians and just say "Uh, I mis-spoke..."
Here Inose, let Saketown go into Damage Control Mode for ya:
Ladies & Gentlemen of Turkey, I mis-spoke. First of all, I had a little bit too much Sake before that press conference. What mis-spoke was the fact that my good classy friends in Turkey who just happen to pray to Allah are just like us in Japan who just happen to pray to Buddha. Secondly, my good friends in Turkey prefer Shiraz - we prefer Sake. Just like Russell Crow, everybody likes to fight once in a while...So, no hard feelings Turkey. Finally, Best of Luck but we hope Japan wins the bid....we hope.

Oh don't worry, we'll keep Kiddo Kim under control. I'm more concerned about that spider in my bathroom than Kim Jong Un.
The point I want to make is for The U.S., Japan, and Taiwan to build a "Great Wall" of deterrence against Comminist China's aggressive ambition to takeover the Western Pacific and destroy the Oceans Environment in the process as they have already done to their own country.
Can you imagine what China would do to the Oceans around the Okinawan Shelf? Judging by what I've seen in China, I am Very Concerned.
We can't let that happen. We'd all end up breathing that Smog Ridden Air and Drinking Dead Pig Filth Water or eating Tuna laced with some mutated chemical from a Chinese Offshore Platform.
Gawd, just the thought of that Countries Sick Ambitions make me nauseous.
BTW: Thanks for the NPP nod...so when do I get my Bronze Medal and 1 Million Dollar Paycheck in the mail?

Bro, haven't you been thought that a Nations Monetary Value is based its National Defense Capabilities?
Why do think do think 3rd World Countries are racing to go Nuke Capable?
They want to get a foothold in the World Markets, plus a "Nice Warm Chair" at the U.N Security Council.
Nukes = Power = Money. That's how it rolls Man.
Besides, Money is no object to America when it comes to roll'en out "The Big Guns".

Yep. We gotta be ready to defend The Senkaku's in the event of a Communist Takeover of the Western Pacific.
Japan is 100% worth Defending Militarily if needed and I am glad General Dempsey put "The Perspective" right in front of China's "Selected" (instead of "Elected") President Xi that if Xi and The Communist Party of Power tries to take over The Western Pacific (as laid out in Xi's vision) then he will certainly have to go through The U.S. Armed Forces (The Greatest Military in the World) in order to achieve that vision.
And we will not allow that to happen.
Bravo Zulu to General Dempsey and our Armed Forces in Asia who put their lives on the line Every Day for Feedom and Democracy.

Nothing good comes from War.
Nor past or present.
The pain of the loss of life never stops on both sides, and in the end everyone loses.
Not just the conqured, but also the conqurers.
War brings out the Beast in Men.
We lose our humanity during War and we become killing machines numb to pain to suffering.
This is why we as humans should never go to War.

My Gawd, this Country whines about Everything!
South Korea are a bunch of WHINERS!
They whined about getting hacked from 1st America, then they blamed Russia, then North Korea, and finally the True Culprits: China.
They're Golden Girl "Samsung" theives Apples design products, whines that Apple STOLE their design products, and then unleashes Lawsuits on Apple Corporation - endlessly.
They whine to Japan about the unpaid hookers (sorry "Comfort Women" ) from 70 Years ago during WW2 and previous invasions that Japan has repeatedly apologized for, paid millions in compensation to "the victims", and offered to assist South Korea in any way possible if the North tries to invade.
And no matter how many times Japan apologizes - its just not good enough.
They stole the Takeshima Islands away from Japan, then Whined when Japan tried to lodge a complaint to the ICJ in order to reclaim their Property.
Yasukuni Shrine is a "War Memorial". Every Country that has participated in a War normally has a War Memorial to pay respects to those who gave their lives for their country despite the Politics or The Governments Agenda Preemptive or Post War.
South Korea: You have Won Saketowns coveted "The Biggest Whiners of the Decade Award".
Congrats, you've earned it...

If Japan halts sending Fighter Jets aloft in order to stop the Communist incursion of the Senkaku Islands, then the "Free Nations" in the Western Pacific risk a Communist Takeover of their islands and we (The U.S. & Japan) will not let that happen
Communist China can Kick and Scream all they want, but the Pivot to push for Freedom, Democracy, Peace, and Prosperity in Asia will not stop.
We will not be threaten or intimidated by Communist Agression wether it comes from China, North Korea or anyone else who wants to step into the ring and have a go at it.

306 Times in just 1 Year.
That's a lot if deterrence.
This shows how obsessed and foaming at the mouth the Communist Chinese Party is at grabbing the Senkaku's away from Japan.
What's even more absurd is China demanding that Japan and the U.S. not to send Planes, Ships, etc to stop China from taking over the Islands.
China just simply needs to exercise calm and reserve itself, otherwise, they will run into a GREAT WALL of deterrence from Japan, The U.S., and other Allied Asian Nations.
