Should Japan re-arm?

Thanks Mallery.

Merry Jewmas!

There’s more then one Bean book?

To be honest, though, I read a few of the Ender books and really only liked Ender’s Game.  Later Ender’s Shadow came out and that was pretty good.

Hegemony
Speaker for the Dead
etc

Really seemed too long winded.  Dunno.

Anyway, anyone read David Feintuch’s Midshipman’s Hope?  Great book, okay series!

“Five years ago, a man’s fantasy became a reality in a form never seen before: Kitchen Stadium, a giant cooking arena. The motivation for spending his fortune to create Kitchen Stadium was to encounter new original cuisines which could be called true artistic creations. To realize his dream, he secretly started choosing the top chefs of various styles of cooking, and he named his men the Iron Chefs: the invincible men of culinary skills. Iron Chef Japanese is Masaharu Morimoto. Iron Chef French is Hiroyuki Sakai. Iron Chef Chinese is Chen Kenichi. And Masahiko Kobe is Iron Chef Italian. Kitchen Stadium is the arena where Iron Chefs await the challenges of master chefs from around the world. Both the Iron Chef and challenger have one hour to tackle the theme ingredient of the day. Using all their senses, skill, creativity, they are to prepare artistic dishes never tasted before. And if ever a challenger wins over the iron chef, he or she will gain the people’s ovation and fame forever. Every battle, reputations are on the line in Kitchen Stadium, where master chefs pit their artistic creations against each other. What inspiration does today’s challenger bring? And how will the Iron Chef fight back? The heat will be on!”

I relly HATE to say it, but, “I told you so!”
Two day old news on front page of many newspapers across America.

“Our fear that Communism might some day take over most of the
world blinds us to the fact that anti-communism already has.”

Anonymous U.S. Analyst In 1967.
Quoted in “The Uses of Anticommunism,” vol. 21,
published in The Socialist Register (1985).

Germany is the only choice. It takes too much time to levy a fleet capable to penetrate the Japanese marine and deal with the troops in Japan. If you spend too much time on a fleet for this, Germany and Japan will crush Russia and then the game is almost over for sure.
