Troubled Waters

Noting that "the Chinese [are] supposedly training to shoot down an American F-22" and "that the US is training with the Japanese SDF to defend the Senkaku Islands," GI Korea asks an important question — Should the US Get Involved In the Senkaku / Diaoyutai Islands Controversy? The answer, of course, is, "No, no, no, a million times no!"

"If the Chinese did militarily occupy the Senkaku Islands is the US willing to go to war with China over it?" asks our man in uniform. "It would seem that with the defense treaty with Japan the US would be obligated to and by participating in this exercise it appears that Washington is sending Beijing that signal." That's why the Founders warned us against "entangling alliances."
