After what happened to Iran only those on the brink over-intelligent geniuses will expect Kim Jung Un to lay down his nukes. And flying warplanes to intimidate NK will certainly make President Trump and Rubio laugh and cry at the same time.

The racist guy should be ordered to do some social service and community work in Kenya or Somalia so that he can open his mind and broaden his narrow horizons.

Jail time or a hefty fine will not change his being a racist.

Relax! Japanese and Chinese pilots are so well-trained that accidents will not happen. It's a game they like to play to cure their boredom. One spies and one intercepts. That's routine. People are just fond of hyping things up to make a good headline. They will call a flash from a camera as extreme lightning! LOL!

Nagasaki Mayor Shiro Suzuki should be the next PM of Japan.

That would mark the first time that a Japanese leader would not kowtow to China and hopefully would have the moral courage to re-establish full diplomatic ties with democratic and peace loving ROC, Taiwan.

Time for Japan to stop China from endangering Japanese aircraft and personnel.

Tokyo should break ties with Beijing and give diplomatic recognition to Taiwan, ROC.

About time for NZ to give diplomatic recognition to ROC-TW and establish a military alliance with the democratic Island Republic.

Japan, the Philippines and the USA should re-establish full diplomatic ties with peaceful and democratic ROC , Taiwan .

These countries doin drills in the SCS without actually threatening to cut diplomatic relations with the PROC is a very weak charade that will not send a strong message to Beijing.

Taiwan government maps place Diaoyutai in 宜蘭縣頭城鎮 Toucheng Township, Yilan County, which is postal code 261. However the Taiwan Postal Administration gives it its own postal code of 290.

Time for Japan to re-establish diplomatic ties with democratic ROC-Taiwan.

Tiauyutai belongs to Ilan county, ROC-TW.

This is the ICC vs the hero of the majority of Filipinos.

Their kidnapping of Duterte is a sign of their desperation to remain relevant.

The ICC is nonexistent to Trump, Putin and Netanyahu .

So they arrested an 80 year old sickly person without even following the rule of law by not permitting him to go to a sovereign Republic of the Philippines Court which is open and functioning.

Who are the kidnappers? Israel?

Tokyo’s foreign policy is controlled by Beijing making Japan a province of China.

The ICC should let the Filipino people decide. They should not let Duterte's political opponents who were totally dumped by the Filipino people as garbage be their sole counsel. Moreover the ICC's clandestine seizure of a 79 year old without considering his health condition is in itself a violation of human rights. The powerful druglords in the Philippines are celebrating now.

Elon and Ruby clashing is a non-issue. Unless one of them is fired.

To be fair what President Trump said is true.

On the other hand Japan can also demand more payments for Kadena and the other American bases in the Ryukyu Islands.

@Hiro S Nobumasa My hunch is that Trump will make a grab for Palawan due to its strategic location. You know if there was a vote there that the locals would jump at the chance to have USA citizenship.

@deanzaZZRToday, You are very right and if that happens then the folks at Batanes would also join. That would make US ballistic missiles there so near Taiwan .

If China continues to harass the Philippines under the Trump Administration there is a chance that President Trump would make the former US Colony the 51st. State.

And unlike Canada almost 98% of Filipinos would approve it.

So China better be good to Manila or else Subic and Clark will have thousands of ballistic missiles aimed at Beijing.

The whole world should now pay attention as to how the United Trump of America treats peaceful and democratic countries in comparison to their treatment of Russia and China.

Why Washingjing only gives diplomatic recognition to Beijington but rejects having one with ally and fellow-democracy ROC-Taiwan is a warning to Europe and the rest of the world that protecting freedom and democracy is never the creed of MAGA.

Despite being bullied by China the Philippines still cling to the 'One-China Policy' and steadfastly refuses to re-establish diplomatic ties with peaceful and fellow-democracy ROC-Taiwan.

Beijing must be laughing at the President of the Philippines and their Foreign Minister!

When will Manila wake-up ?

Presiding Judge Chikako Murata himself have morally raped the child victim a second time.

Shame.

Sure, Japan can enjoy prosperity from nuclear power as long as Tokyo will not make the Pacific Ocean their da-kine nuclear radiation waste dump site again.

Darn way of making a street with a spectacular view of Mount Fuji look like a military bunker.

There are many ways to take advantage of such a strategic viewing street into a tourist- friendly corner that will make everyone happy instead of making the place look like little Kursk.

The China VS Taiwan issue is no longer about the Chiang VS Mao fisticuffs.

It is NOW an issue of DEMOCRACY vs DICTATORSHIP.

The US and Japan must clearly choose where to anchor their feet.

Stand with the Authoritarian Dictatorship OR fall in line with the DEMOCRATIC and FREEDOM loving & peaceful people of Taiwan?

China can bully Taiwan because both the USA and Japan refuses to give diplomatic recognition to the democratic Island Republic.

Shame on da-kine Washingjing and Tokyojing!

With the best surgical , nursing and rehab team available, I'm confident that the Empress emerita Michiko will be ambulatory soon and on the way to full recovery!

Just take another group picture .

Nikki Haley and former Japan PM Noda should have stated what they speaketh now while they were still both active at their lofty positions.

It's precisely because of their deafening silence then that enabled the PROC to bully Taiwan now.

It's a scientific puzzle that totally expired products always speaks louder than the present active US UN Ambassador and Japanese Prime Minister.

Is Japan becoming so financially desperate to do such a daylight scam?

Never happens in Naha!

Japan and China should behave and return those isles to the rightful owner , Ilan county of the democratic Taiwan.
