nah, japan still has that felling of the good old days of colonial empire, racial supremacy and usa has a lot of influence too, so free japanese cannon fodder to feed the american dream.

i gotta admit i simply forgot drpk, so i don't known how to begin to speculate what will be their moves, but makes sense what u said, they intervening because nato presence in the pacific is a direct threat to them.

i didn't went into results and such, i believe china has more than enough capability to handle this. russia is facing basically alone a coalition of 80 countries and it is not even in war mode yet and managed to depleted a lot of nato ammo depos.

china is a heavily industrialized country and has a working force of 800 million people, imagine shifting some of that to produce military equipment, it wont be running out of ammo anytime soon, and also their infrastructure, 2/3 of worlds high speed trains are on china alone, so they can make stuff and believer to any part of the country very quickly.

i guess my biggest worry would be india, since the relations of these countries has been rocky for thousands of years, but there is a good chance i may be wrong since they are making a lot of progress inside brics
