Japan, Germany may hold 1st joint land force exercise next year

The German Army is expected to join an exercise with Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force as early as next year, according to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, against a backdrop of China’s military buildup in the Indo-Pacific region and territorial claims in the South China Sea.

In a recent written interview with Kyodo News, Pistorius revealed that the upcoming joint exercise, set to take place in Japan, will be the first of its kind between the two countries’ ground forces. The development comes as Germany has bolstered ties with Indo-Pacific partners and emphasized its mission to “maintain the rules-based international order.”

Pistorius pointed out that no signs indicate that China will abandon its territorial claims in the South China Sea, as Beijing continues to deploy coast guards, maritime militia as well as sea and air forces in the waters concerned to enforce its claims.

…”Our military experts tell us that Russia would theoretically be able to attack NATO territory in five to eight years. Regardless of whether Moscow would take this risk or not, we must be prepared for anything,” he said while emphasizing that the country’s goal is deterrence.

Russia has China, a dubious partner and vice versa. USA has Germany and Japan, both reliable partners, incapable of serious backstabbing. Notice the timeline—five to eight years—before the Western cabal attacks Russia or provokes war with China. No way to be sure of details, but these bits of information do reveal real alliances and against whom. Russia would gain nothing and lose everything if it attacked Europe. This is too obvious for words. Russia can only hope to stave off its annihilation. The question arises: does USA possess a superweapon? We know DARPA is many decades ahead of publicly known weapons development. My thoughtful guess is USA does possess a superweapon. There is a strong now-or-never feel about USA behavior domestically and internationally. From the POV of the Western comitatus, the stage has already been set. The pieces are in place. Encroachment will continue apace and escalate. ABN
