Japan was flirting with disaster when they succumbed to the temptation of imperialistic expansionism, even if they had some arguably justifiable (at least to their own mind) reasons

Japan ...... SUFFERED from US ( Political Play within JAPAN govn ). a) They had to HOLD Trillions of US Treasuries (Bonds) ... WHY ??? ( It should be Balanced with Euro, etc ) b) Scientific R&D into electronics and CHIPS was STOPPED in Japan ( Intel, IBM, Honeywell, etc ... subsequently took over such R&D ) c) Why ALLOW so MANY US military BASES in JAPAN ? d) JAPAN is ONLY allowed to use US weapons. e) JAPAN people held a Referandum and REJECTED Nuclear and OFFENSIVE weapons within JAPAN. Yet .. US Aircraft Carriers, Bombers, etc ( Offensive Weapons ) where allowed into Japan including Nuclear Missiles.

JAPAN is basically a PUPPET for the US.

In history , all genocides will be followed by hundreds of thousands of refugees who feared for their lives. The most recent genocides was the Rohinyas. Every years , there were thousands of Rohinya refugees leaving Rakine seeking protections from all neighbouring countries. Did you see any Qighurs refugees in Pakistan borders in the last 5 years ?? If there are genocide, do you think the pakistan muslim brothers will keep quiet when their muslim brothers are massacred? The lies by US on Xinjiang is just too obvious.It will be very difficult for China to cooperate with US when the US is bent on demonise China through whatever means even to the extent of standing so low by fabricating lies..

abu sayyaf is not a regular military force, but more like a guerrilla force.

a sub is likely not suitable for fighting them, but maybe fast surface boats if fighting on water, or heli gunship and/or apc if on land, like we did against them sulu intruders in lahad datu that time.

Malaysia will not be able to defend itself strongly in any foreign attack. The whole government system is so corrupt from the top to the bottom so much so, that our military forces are not so strong, lack discipline, mental strength, fortitude, no actual combat experiences, ill and outdated equipment to be able to deter or prevent any more powerful external attacks. World war II/Japanese invasion was a good example.

you can criticise them in terms of physical, weaponry etc. shortcomings, but they're definitely not cowards as you might like to think they are

they even risked & sacrificed their lives to save a bunch of trapped american soldiers not once but twice, first in bosnia & then somalia

US and China should go to war and kill each other.

This will solve HUGE problem of Global Overpopulation...

and normally cruise missiles have a high failure rate.

just dun be surprised and also "hopefully" a few cruise missiles might end up and explode inside Putrajaya due to guidance error.

we are talking about US cruise missiles are normally inaacurate when old.

US cruise missiles actually have an expiry date.
Some are solid propellants which degrade over time,
and metals especially control surfaces oxidise
and electronics using cheap capacitors experience drift away from specs.

thats why US needs a war with China URGENTLY

they already rehearsed using long range bombers la, so no need cruise missiles for them

no lah

Raytheon Tomahawk cruise missiles cost USD1.8 million each.

they will fire more than 10,000 missiles X 1.8 million each to Beijing Imperial City to destroy the History of China and then later during peace negotiation aka peace demands will give the Invoice to China.

thats how it workd
