Japan Sends Biggest Warship To Protect US Supply Vessel by cristianisraeli: 8:22am On May 01, 2017 |
Japan has dispatched its biggest warship, in the first such operation since it passed controversial laws expanding the role of its military. The helicopter carrier Izumo is escorting a US supply vessel within Japanese waters. The US ship is heading to refuel the naval fleet in the region, including the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier group. North Korea has threatened to sink the Carl Vinson and a US submarine, amid rising tensions in the region. It also carried out a failed missile test on Sunday, despite repeated warnings from the US and others to stop its nuclear and missile activity. The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Tokyo says the Izumo is the pride of the Japanese navy, and is by far its biggest ship. The 249m-long Izumo can carry up to nine helicopters, and resembles US amphibious assault carriers, reported The Japan Times. Kyodo news agency said it was leaving its base in Yokosuka south of Tokyo to join the US supply ship, and accompany it to waters off Shikoku in western Japan. Under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan is gradually pushing the limits of what its modern and powerful military is allowed to do, and with tensions high on the Korean peninsula, Mr Abe appears keen to try out the new laws for the first time, our correspondent says. Japan's post-World War Two constitution bars its military from using force to resolve conflicts except in cases of self-defence. The Izumo is the first warship deployed outside of military exercises under new laws passed in 2015 that allow Japan to come to the aid of an ally under attack known as "collective self-defence". Mr Abe's government, which pushed for the change, faced criticism that the new laws could lead the country into unnecessary wars abroad - something Mr Abe has rejected. When is military action allowed? Japan can protect the weapons and equipment of its allies' armed forces who are defending Japan It can provide logistical support to allies involved in situations with "important influence" on Japan's security - for example it could support South Korea if the North invaded, but may stop short of sending troops as this may be unconstitutional Japan can shoot down a North Korean missile headed for the US Military action such as minesweeping to keep shipping lanes secure, even in an active conflict zone, may be allowed if the restriction on shipping threatened Japan's survival The Izumo's deployment follows recent joint exercises conducted by Japan and the US, and other naval developments http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-39768110 The Izumo, seen here in a file picture, is Japan's biggest warship Japanese television showed the Izumo leaving the port of Yokosuka The US aircraft carrier Carl Vinson was seen off southern Japan on Saturday

USA puppet thats an island nation with one of the strongest economy in the world after usa,china,eu..second largest automaker in the world..i wish nigeria would be a usa puppet as well..here are some little facts about japan nigerians always like bad mouthing everyone and even bad mouth their own country as well..so am not suprised.. In Japanese, the name “Japan” is Nihon or Nippon, which means “Land of the Rising Sun.” It was once believed that Japan was the first country to see the sun rise in the East in the morning. [b]Japan has the third longest life expectancy in the world with men living to 81 years old and women living to almost 88 years old. The Japanese live on average four years longer than Americans. Japan consists of over 6,800 islands. Home to 33 million people, the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan area is the largest populated metropolitan region in the world. Japan has more than 3,000 McDonald’s restaurants, the largest number in any country outside the U.S. Twenty-one percent of the Japanese population is elderly (over the age of 65), the highest proportion in the world. There are more elderly than there are children in Japan today. The Japanese eat more fish than any other people in the world, about 17 million tons per year. Japan is the world’s largest importer of seafood, with shrimp comprising about one third of the total, about four million tons a year. More than 20% of Japanese protein is obtained through fish and fish products The method of eating raw fish and rice began in the early 17th century. Sushi does not mean raw fish in Japanese. It actually means rice seasoned with vinegar, sugar, and salt. Raw fish sliced and served alone without rice is called sashimi. Japanese Kobe beef is famous worldwide for its succulence and taste. The Japanese cows this beef comes from receive daily massages and, in summer, are fed a diet of saké and beer mash. True Kobe beef comes from only 262 farms in the Tajima region, of which Kobe is the capital, and each of which raises an average of 5 of the animals at a time. In the United States, Kobe beef is called Wagyu beef. Japan has around 5.5 million vending machines with one on almost every street corner. There are vending machines that sell beer, hot and cold canned coffee, cigarettes, wine, condoms, comic books, hot dogs, light bulbs, bags of rice, toilet paper, umbrellas, fish bait, fresh eggs, porn magazines, and even used women’s underwear. Japan has the second lowest homicide rate in the world, but it also home to the spooky “suicide forest” Aokigahara at the base of Mt. Fuji. It is the second most popular place in the world for suicides after San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. The Japanese have such a low birth rate that there are more adult diapers sold than baby diapers. Cherry blossoms (sakura) are Japan's national flower. 3 Likes

Japanese Miracle. A term for the remarkable economic growth Japan experienced after its devastation in World War II. The growth is credited to a combination of American investment immediately after the war and government regulation of the economy. The Japanese government restricted imports and promoted exports The United States took on responsibility for Japan’s security,” allowing to it focus on its economic recovery. But the Japanese economic miracle didn't owe only to having to reconstruct the country and mobilising the entirety of the war's military spending, installations and energy into business. Although the economy was based on the American liberal system, the government boosted business by providing low interest loans to sectors designed for growth, and organized the economy to facilitate development as much as possible. For example, the MITI (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) pressured iron and steel producers to acquire the licence rights of a new Austrian oxygen furnace together, thus sharing the costs and benefits, while the logic of Anglo-saxon free-market would have had each company obtain the licence individually at much higher expenditure. First of all, Japan benefited from the American military protection, which spared the government from high defense spendings. The same happened in West Germany, and both nations experienced the most formidable economic growth in the postwar era. But whereas West Germany's GNP increased 28.5x between 1951 and 1980 - compared to 18.7x for France, 12.7x for Britain and only 8x for the USA, Japan's increased 73x ! i guess we all know whos high on that ewedu leaf now..when i say kids should study history they will say NO..again nigerian government should allow history in nigerians schools..kids have alot to learn 3 Likes |

MONITZ: The so-called treaty only barred Japan from mass producing offensive weapons of war, not defensive. The recent moves Japan have been making so far, is in line with the 2015 parliament passage of a bill authorising the deployment of Japanese armed forces in any crisis theatre that would otherwise impact significant consequences on the national security of Japan. But, like i have always said, the vultures are gathering for the great feast...Most developed nations of the world knows the big one is coming, and they are all preparing for it.... As it stand now, the chances that the world will surely see another world war is gradually coming to a definite conclusion.....Already, it's becoming rife, approaching a point of inevitability. Alois Irlmaier's prophecy quickly comes to mind...... Watch the Balkans....... 3 Likes 1 Share |
