    China could conquer Japan in about two hours. Hopefully it won't happen because those Honda cars sure are good.

    Good question. Normally there would be no doubt whatsoever that a U.S. president would automatically go to the defense of Japan, but with this president as Commander-in Chief of the United States, well were I Japanese I would be worried, very worried indeed.

    US has deals with Japan AND South Korea. If SK is allied with China against Japan then US cannot intervene militarily unless their troops become under attack.

    That's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

    One day to design an effective one complete with payload delivery vehicle but years to create it because they have to decide where to put all the chrome strips and advertisement logos and embedded LED decorations.

    In reality though the Congress can declare war against any nation on Earth for any reason whatsoever -- if they collectively are so of mind to do and the President has such vast leeway for going to war that effectively he has ongoing and active war decision powers. So who really knows which direction the war ball would bounce?

    If China really wanted to use their full economic and demographic might, and were not concerned about huge casualties, there is no country, including the United States, that could keep them from getting what they wanted.

    Today? I dunno for certain, but during the cold war they had intercontinental missile platforms that might or might not have launched at need and might or might not have gone where aimed and might or might not have delivered their payloads and might or might not have detonated. Nowadays? I suppose they have narrowed that window of 'might' to at least 'probably will' and might have included ICBM capable submarine launch platforms in the mix.

    Unless the Japanese have been very busy beavers indeed below the radar they would get their clocks wiped within minutes after trying to go toe to toe against China for real . . . were China willing in turn to go all out to win.

    As a japanese i find that topic laughable. The typical western fear for china. China is a paper tiger. Japan always crushed china. you must not fear them. china never won any war in its history.

    Oh please; simply by comparing standing and ready to go armies China has Japan beat hands down. You do know that China launched an aircraft carrier last year, correct? That's how many fighter jets capable of striking anywhere inside Japan on an instant's notice?

    If the Chinese were to decide to become militarily aggressive then they would do so by biting off little chunks at a time and then offering to negotiate afterwards. Wouldn't that be the approach that you would take [towards the U.S. anyway] if a foreign policy goofball like Obama were sending another goofball like John Kerry to sit across a negotiations table from your THOROUGHLY TRAINED ambassador?

    South Korea and Japan are both American allies and despite the difficult bilateral relationship between Japan and its former colony, there is no way South Korea sides with the Communist Bloc. South Korea's paramount national security concern is North Korea, which could cross the 38th parallel without warning at any time. South Korea needs American support to deter a North Korean invasion to unify the Korean Peninsula and Japan also has to rely on the mutual defence treaty with the US, which obliges America to intervene on Japan's behalf if China lands on the disputed islands.

    Yes, absolutely. I'm a former nuclear missile technician but that 'expertise' is so many decades out of date at this point that all I can go by is distant memories of how things once were.
