Japanese Navy Begins Sea Trials on Carrier Equipped to Hold F-35 Fighters

Another example of Japan’s growing military capabilities to further deter Chinese aggression in the region:

One of Japan’s largest naval vessels took part in sea trials this week, brandishing modifications that bring it closer to embarking fifth-generation, U.S.-made fighter jets, local media reported.

The JS Kaga, a flat deck carrier for helicopters, kicked off the trials Monday after departing Kure Naval Base in Hiroshima prefecture, the Asahi Shimbun reported Tuesday. The Kaga’s bow and flight deck were modified to accommodate F-35B Lightning II fighter jets.

The F-35B variant, employed by the U.S. Marine Corps aboard U.S. Navy amphibious assault ships, is capable of short takeoffs and vertical landings, making them suitable for Japan’s helicopter carriers, provided alterations are made.

“Another example of Japan’s growing military capabilities to further deter Chinese aggression in the region:”

Chinese aggression is but a single aspect.

Japan is remilitarizing because they will be the regional power that keeps order in East Asia (just as Turkey and Poland will be the regional powers in their area).

Japan has a big concern over protecting their supply of resources. Expect them to form a supply chain with Pacific Russia and a labor pool from what’s left of China.

In the 2030s, after the world war has resolved, it’s going to be a global party with séxbots and space exploration.

You will actually think the words, “Did ChickenHead have a crystal ball?”

If the answer is yes, in a way, you will be right.

The problem with sexbots is the same as with kitty litter… someone has to clean up that… stuff…

Just make them self-cleaning. It works for humans most of the time.

As the world divided into two classes… those who are useful and those who are not, there will always be a hungry person who will do the jobs robots won’t do.

Hmmm…

Why do we need séxbots again?

Bots will never be able to take the place of a real, live person. Especially during a dire situation like the checkout when some therapy and support are needed.
Parody might be dead, but gallows humor lives on:

Bidenomics.

Good.

That’s the cost of not having to see mean tweets.

What’s the cost of not having a Russian asset covered in hooker pìss in the Whitehouse? Getting to fund a war with Russia.

Whats the cost of not having a raaasysis in the Whitehouse? Open borders welcoming the best and the brightest.

What’s the cost of blah blah blah? Everyone is paying it.

And they deserve it.

All the bad stuff will stop when the self-destruction stops.
