Japan weathers the economic storm

[YanBrassard]

USA is a danger for Japanese culture. I think they should protect more themselves against the USA and be more independent. I have a question for all of you. Why are you not able to talk about another country without talking about war? We all know that the US have the biggest army. They could win against any country (except if all the countries attack them at the same time). The American army is too much dispersed. They should get out of outside countries and make their own business.

The problem is that Japan has no means to protect itself against massive asymmetric (special forces) attacks. Its very small army is widely dispersed. Thus, in wartime, Japan has to rely on Korea.

There was no room that bought the United States article in Japan after the bubble had collapsed. Japan was busy with disposition of bank nonperforming loans. It made our economic damage a minimum.

[kensoo88]

What is it thought the world economy to become it in 10 years?

As for Japan, economy was undervalued by depreciation of the yen.

It is returning to the origin.

[xxwzaebd]

The problem arises when Western marxists induce China and North Korea to invade Japan. With its current military,Japan will be defeated. On the other hand,Korea has a strong ground and air force sufficient to inflict fatal damage to China in case they invade again. Japan only has a quantitative(not qualitative) advantage in naval vessels(although there are many in reserve that can be reactivated in wartime).Japan cannot protect itself without help from Korea.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

But what is the point of East Asians weakening themselves for Western-Jewish-Rothschild parasites?

[xxwzaebd]

Our economy rose from the world's poorest country to a First World economy within 4 decades; this was only possible while fighting against marxism. But the Westerners put enormous pressure NOT to fight against marxism. Finally, they forced the financial system open. Now leftism has grown like a final stage cancer to a point that hardly anything can be done any more while the conservative front has become weaker and weaker.

The only "true" Americans are the Native American Indians were were massacred and killed by white European settlers.You stated Obama was a "decline", did you mean because he is biracial ? The majority of the world welcomed his election victory.

[sniper6081]

Well at least somebody's doing good.

[ImperialEmpire]

Japan is not doing good. What Russia Today once again leaves out is something called facts. Look up the term "carry trade".

Japan with the help of the US and Europe artificially keeps their currency devalued and their interest rates at almost 0%. Why would a country do this? They do this because countries use their banks to finance projects in other countries and it then keeps Japan afloat.

China is trying to do the same thing now so that can grow from cheap labor to a modern nation.

[ImperialEmpire]

Because of the economic problems, even though the US dollar has gotten stronger, the net effect is the Yen has grown stronger too, which means countries aren't doing the "carry trade" anymore. It will further collapse Japans economy.

Japan is only surviving right now because their imports are hugely devalued by their currency as well. Their real estate collapsed in the 90's and is literally worth $0. Their entire country would collapse without the carry trade.

[xxwzaebd]

Japan=very good country.

Much better than China or Russia.

It is a good decision that our satellites will be lauched by Japanese rockets(H2A).

But Japan should have a strong military.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

Unlike the naive and superficial Western countries, Japan is homogeneous. Japan remains Japanese, whereas the West has been transformed into a cesspool of different races and religions.

The British world has led the entire Western world to disaster.

[xxwzaebd]

Yes, but Japan is also slowly changing. There is also a move to increase immigration(such as high tech specialists from other countries).Our country is now multiethnical and multicultural.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

Immigration to Japan is negligible - and as you mentioned - highly selective. This is, of course, very wise. Japan will continue to exist - while the West fades into the pages of history.

[ImperialEmpire]

Japan doesn't exist. It stopped existing in 1945. It is nothing but a colony for our American Empire. Japanese citizens would willingly sacrifice themselves to protect the United States, that's how badly we beat their asses, that they now look upon us as gods.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

Japan will outlast the 'United States'. Every year, the 'United States' becomes less American in character. I speak of the real American - the White-European American.

Obama is certainly a fine indication of U.S. decline. (as were Bush and Clinton before him)

[ImperialEmpire]

LOL. White European American?

There are no real Americans. Everyone here is an immigrant. You just sound like a nazi.

Being an American is to believe in an idea. "White" is a race.

Where are you from?

[ImperialEmpire]

P.S. I don't know where you're from but since the declaration of independence, "white" americans do not consider themselves european. You must be from Europe if you think Americans consider you our equals.

Most Americans want to leave NATO and let Europe rot.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

And so the founders of this United States didn't originate from a certain location on this globe.

90% of the U.S. wasn't 'White-European' in 1960. It was all made up.

Bring any average Mexican or Ecuadorian and he'll be as intelligent and upstanding as the average Englishman or German.

It is absolutely irrelevant whether you understand or accept reality. It exists entirely independent of your mental deficiencies.

[ImperialEmpire]

Ok using your theory every Human on Earth is from Africa. What is your point?

You must be a Nazi from Europe. No America that is born American, and definitely anybody besides 1st generation American, considers themselves "european". Nobody here says "White European" American. Stop dreaming.

Americans are Americans and the rest of the world is the rest of the world. Keep telling yourself Americans classify themselves the same as Europeans. We hate Europeans lol.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

Who is 'we'? Your local synagogue?

[ImperialEmpire]

Once again, where do you live?

Please tell me. Where do you live?

I guarantee it's Europe, Asia or the Middle East.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

Race is reality. Race is biology.

As the U.S. becomes less White-European, it will become less American - and poorer and less capable.

Japan will remain a presence on this planet.

[ImperialEmpire]

For the 100th time, where do you live?

Since you're a scientist, here's a lesson on race. Humans came from one group. We all looked alike and had the same traits. Then a natural disaster happened killing most of humanity, only leaving a few thousand humans. These few thousand humans were isolated in different regions (whites in the caucasus mountains thus they're called caucasians). Because of the isolation, genetic mutations that would have been purged were allowed to become dominate traits.

[ImperialEmpire]

This is known as the "bottle neck effect". For example, humans with blue eyes. This is a freak mutation. All humans with blue eyes are directly related. They are family. The same thing with red haired humans.

Because of the bottle neck effect and the isolation, 6 "races" ended up forming from the original group of humans. It's not like 6 humans existed from day one or something of that nature.

It's nothing but genetic mutations. See 2 black people can have a white baby, it's called albino.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

It is absolutely stunning - and a wonderful example of human stupidity - that one trumpets both evolution and biological equality.

So, what you're telling us is, there is no difference in intellectual capacity between Japanese - and Australian Aboriginals? Thanks for enlightening us all.

[SPIRITOFODIN]

I think the crucial mistake you, and others like you make, is that believing in racial differences necessarily means you hate or seek to oppress and exploit them. I have disdain for colonialism and exploitation. Have you ever watched 'Star Trek'? I like the concept of the 'Prime Directive'.

[Linsteadite]

xxwzaebd, Japan's financial crisis in 90's was engineered by the people you call real Americans and they knew that they would be a greater return to their investment capital if it moved to communist China. Japan will never be able to overtake China because it has a mixed economy and thats the advantage of Marxism.

[xxwzaebd]

Anyway,Japan's leaders should establish a strong military-right now, the Japanese military is more like a territorial defence force thus being very vulnerable against attacks from China. Their weapons are not very advanced.

[ImperialEmpire]

China won't attack them. China lacks a naval force capable of protecting any invasion and their air force sucks too.

[xxwzaebd]

The problem of Japan is its weak ground force.China would invade Japan by asymmetrical means(special troops).In case of war,Japan has to rely on Korea for its defence. (although Japan has more ships-Korean Aegis is somewhat better)

[SPIRITOFODIN]

China and Japan aren't stupid enough to self-destruct as the West did.

[xxwzaebd]

I hope so.
