I'm not terrified. I'm delighted. Skeptical; I'll believe it when I see it, but I'm delighted just the same. Just like I'm delighted that Japan is massively re-arming in the Pacific and getting ready to rumble. This is not 1945 anymore. The world has changed and all of the players must change with it as circumstances demand. We'll deal with the realities of today now and worry about tomorrow when it comes. The future is never guaranteed and only a fool expects it to be. The entirety of Europe must put itself on a permanent war footing because wars are rapidly coming back into vogue. Strength and resolve are deterrents, weakness and indecisiveness are not. Had Europe been armed to the teeth and not been so negligent and foolish in its world outlook, if it had reacted forcefully and decisively to Putin's mobilization, it's extremely doubtful the Ukraine war would've ever started. I'm absolutely delighted that Germany is starting to grow a pair and flex its muscles once more. Welcome back!

Japan has a very capable navy; by some accounts, the 2nd most powerful in the world after the US navy. And their land an air forces are expanding and modernizing at a rapid rate. It is true that they limited themselves militarily for many years but that attitude is behind them. At the closing end of my own military career, I had the opportunity to work with the JSDF a few times and you could see clear evidence of their change in doctrine. The days of hanging their heads in shame over the past are well and truly over. @mekolayn

Backed the wrong side? Really? We should have backed Germany over Britain, France, the Dutch and so on? I think you'd better take a little deeper dive back into your history books and see if you can't come away with a little bit more clarified and a little less simplistic and ill-informed view of things @christopherlees1134
