US ignored Tokyo's request and continued F-16 flights after fuel tank incident

The US military, ignoring Tokyo's requests, continues to operate its F-16 fighters in Japan, despite the fact that the country's Ministry of Defense has recommended an end to flights.

A corresponding request was sent to the American side after on Tuesday an F-16 aircraft, taking off from the US Air Force Misawa AFB, inadvertently dropped two fuel tanks and was then forced to make an emergency landing. One of the tanks fell in a residential area, although initially the American command tried to deny this.

Against the background of the United States ignoring Tokyo's requests, the country's military department intends to re-ask the American side to suspend flights of its fighters - at least until the reasons for the technical failure are clarified and the safety of the F-16 operation is confirmed.

According to the Minister of Defense of Japan, incidents of this kind cause concern among local residents. However, the United States did not provide any clarification and on Thursday resumed flights from Misawa, which, as the governor of the prefecture explained, "upset the population and possibly increased mistrust of the US military in general."

But, apparently, the American military has its own vision of the situation. Moreover, the incident did not occur on the territory of the United States, but in a once occupied country, where the United States continues to behave like a business. Although ... why there is no time ... In fact, Japan is still occupied now.

In general, accidents with the American aviation in Japan occur regularly. Given the country's dense population, they pose additional risks to civilians.

According to the Yankes, they analyzed the incident and conducted a thorough inspection of the aircraft.
What else does?

And the Yankees do everything right, showing the colonies their attitude to the opinion of the aborigines, which they are not interested in! Lay all the Japanese under the Yankees, so bear with the master's whims!

In short, the sheriff's Indians don't ... care.

[Alex777]

Sheriff Indians are not interested in problems ...

[76SSSR]

Just think of a fuel tank ... It's not "Kid" over Hiroshima and not "Fat Man" over Nagasaki. The Japanese have become picky, by God ...

[Carat]

The main thing is that the Japanese themselves voluntarily pay huge amounts of money for the maintenance of American bases in Japan and are still outraged.

It would be necessary for Tokyo, following the example of China, to exclude the United States from the customs register ...
Born to stand in a pose, should not object.

The samurai became insolent or they poured cold sake out of the glass. The owners want to fly, but they ...

[faterdom]

It’s interesting - when the Americans will pour in - will the Japanese kick them? Say, in honor of "December 7"?
So I don't exclude, they have a good memory ...

[tatarin1972]

Aboriginal problems, the sheriff don't care!

[Simon]

So Japan is a vassal! And the Americans wanted to spit on their puppets! Either an atomic bomb will be thrown on the city, or a fuel tank. It's only the beginning.

[Yaro Polk]

... and you will get excited, we will throw off a couple of YaB on your cities (pilot JO)

[tralflot1832]

The fate of the occupied country, and then these Russians and the Chinese fly wherever they want and wander the sea wherever they want. What should the samurai do?

[anjey]

Just think of the fuel tanks, they threw Nuclear Bombs on the Japs and all the rules, "friendship is chewing gum"

[Nafanya from the sofa]

Problems (Indians, Japanese, etc.) the Sheriff does not care

[dimy44]

Americans just twisted their fingers at their temples in bewilderment, they say, what was it?

[Fedor Sokolov]

This is how the occupier behaves! An occupied country does not have the right to vote.

Japan, on an equal footing with Ukraine, is a US colony. And here the meaning of direct negotiations with Japan on the status of the Southern Kuriles is lost.

In any case, these are the territories of Russia.

In my opinion, the Kuriles have no options at all, a colony is not a colony, it does not matter.
The status of these territories was determined by the results of the Second World War.

Four disputed islands were discovered and named in 1739 by the Russian navigator of Danish origin Maxim Shpanberg (1698-1761). Citron-Iturup, Three Sisters-Kunashir, Figured-Shikotan, Green-Habomai. There was no smell of Japanese then on the islands.

[boris epstein]

The problems of the "yellow" (they are not black!) Does not bother the sheriff. The Japanese had to understand this since 1945 (Hiroshima and Nagasaki).

[Fisherman]

Even if another atomic bomb were dropped "by accident" - this is not a reason for the Yankees to react to the Yap's requests, the Yankees consider them their colony, and the Sheriff's Indians do not care about the problems of the Indians!

[Dizel200]

And we are a host. This is the lot of slaves, let them endure.

[Skipper]

Amer do not care about the Japs slaves. There, every year, in the areas of military bases, Americans rape and kill Japanese girls ... the local population is outraged and demands retribution ... and the Japanese government tells them to shut up and be silent in a rag. The Japanese deserve this kind of democracy.

Serfs should not tell the lord what to do, they were eating atomic bombs, and you’re also eating fuel tanks, you’ll think the tank fell, “I dusted myself off and went on my way” (Kuzya)

US ignored Tokyo's request and continued F-16 flights after fuel tank incident

Right. It's time for the Japanese to get used to being subhuman in the eyes of Americans.

[Denis812]

What blatant aboriginal insolence!
I call on the US Congress to immediately impose sanctions on Japan!
The slaves are completely loose!
