The Pentagon confirmed its intention to deploy medium-range missiles in Japan

The US Department of Defense confirmed its intention to deploy medium-range missiles in Japan, despite all the rumors that Washington has no such plans.

Here is how Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh commented on this situation, answering questions from reporters during her briefing:

I have already seen information that the ministry allegedly has no plans to deploy missiles in Japan with a range of more than 500 km. I would like to dispel all the myths about these messages. All the media opinions about the medium-range missiles that you asked me about are absolutely wrong.

Thus, the Pentagon confirmed the data on the deployment of American medium-range missiles in Japan.

At the same time, the representative of the defense department refrained from further comment, stressing only that the security of Japan is a top priority for the United States.

I can add that we will continue to take steps to modernize and strengthen our potential in the field of security in the Asia-Pacific region

Singh noted.

It is noteworthy that the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri reported that the United States was allegedly not going to deploy medium-range missiles in Japan. The authors of the publication proceeded from the fact that there was no need for this, since, in their opinion, Washington had already made enough efforts to contain Beijing, which was also preceded by Japan's intention to acquire Tomahawk cruise missiles, along with increasing the range of Type 12 class missiles in service " earth-ship.

Recall that Tokyo recently announced the allocation of huge funds to strengthen the country's defense capability, motivating its decision by the allegedly growing threat from Russia and China, which could probably "unleash" a conflict around Taiwan. The growing military potential of Japan runs counter to the policy of "active pacifism" that has operated in the country over the past 70 years.

And fuck it - they have been standing in Poland for a long time. The launchers are the same, but what is stuffed in them ... Well, judging by the fact that it has already flown into Poland twice, the missiles there are not anti-aircraft

[credo]

Before it's too late, Russia must and is obliged to strengthen its borders along the entire perimeter of the border in the absence of friendly buffer states.
The Yankees, as well as the entire Western world, are true to their principles, which imply a complete disregard for the fulfillment of their obligations to prevent the escalation of the war in adjacent territories.
What cannot be taken away from the Anglo-Saxons is consistency in achieving their goals, therefore, arming South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, as well as creating a military bloc from the Pacific states, they will pull off the same combination as with Ukraine, only now in the east of Eurasia. And apparently it will happen in the near future.

we have long had launchers under 4 KR Caliber,
there is also a long version of the KR Caliber with a range of 5500 km.
+ Russia will soon acquire new territories in the Caribbean region
Venezuela and Cuba eager to sell a couple of islands to Russia

Started. In 1961, we deployed missiles in Turkey and Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis has begun. But then there was a country, than now for us everything will end the question.

Well, it's their choice. We need to wait for the response of our leadership. And the continuous propaganda that Japan has already been subjected to nuclear strikes by the Americans and that a more powerful strike is now possible and the Americans are again to blame.

[Myths]

In the event of a serious turmoil at all American bases, there will be an arrival, the deployment of medium-range missiles makes this possibility even closer.

[Ross xnumx]

China and Russia must urgently decide whether such an American “gift” is needed at hand and put a note in the margins for Japan ...

[Bingo]

Another plus Korea)))
And at the same time, to hint like that in the fields - after Fukushima, you already contaminated the entire Ocean so radioactively, so sending you deep into the crack in the crust with a couple of warheads is just cleaning the World Ocean.
There is a tectonic fault, it won't take much. But Kim doesn’t care deeply - he is already used to sanctions

After the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019, which forced Russia to suspend the treaty as well, it was a matter of time to deploy them in Japan and elsewhere. The Japanese still do not want to understand that they are simply ordinary hostages of adventurous American plans.

The Japanese most likely understand, but cannot do anything, against the US that occupied their country, the wrong weight categories, and the rulers of Japan are appointed by the same USA.

how to say how to say

Three non-nuclear principles
The Japanese Three Non-Nuclear Principles, or Three Non-Nuclear Principles, is a parliamentary resolution that has guided Japanese nuclear policy since the principles came into force in the late 1960s and reflects the general mood of society and national politics since the end of World War II. The principles are that Japan renounces possession, production, and prohibits the importation of nuclear weapons into Japanese territory. The principles were laid out by Prime Minister Eisaku Sato during a speech to the House of Representatives in 1967 amid negotiations over the return of Okinawa by the United States to Japan. Parliament formally approved the principles in 1971.

And here both are on missiles, and even with a nuclear filling. In those distant times, there were unrest throughout Japan over the deployment of American nuclear weapons on Okinawa. There were killings of American soldiers, attacks on military bases. Everything is in our hands, to competently apply in broadcasting to Japan, let them think with their samurai head.

What about nuclear missiles?

[Last centurion]

Well, the bases of the fleet will be under the gun 24/7. :( So, there is no doubt that special ammunition will be stuffed into rockets at installations in Japan. So some tunnels need to be built to store submarines or something

And, to clean up the site for placement - does it roll? By the right to ensure their own safety? Or will we ask Eun for help?

Everything is rapidly moving towards the "uncovering" of the Pioneer IRBM (with modern accuracy and the possibility of using conventional warheads). You can directly in the mines in the Far East.

[solar]

Where can I get them?

In the process of implementing the INF Treaty, 58 missile regiments were disbanded, armed with Pioneers [2]. The last of the RSD-10 missiles declared in the Treaty was destroyed on May 12, 1991. Several launchers and missiles have been preserved as exhibits in museums in the country and abroad.

What's what, and the occupied territories of the United States will be protected. Where the states have climbed, from there they cannot be smoked out with "dikhlovos".
