Speaking of NATO, Japan is opening a NATO liaison office, the first one in Asia.   Japan is liable to wind up in NATO somehow.  NAPTO?

Article 10

The Parties may, by unanimous agreement, invite any other European State in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area to accede to this Treaty. Any State so invited may become a Party to the Treaty by depositing its instrument of accession with the Government of the United States of America. The Government of the United States of America will inform each of the Parties of the deposit of each such instrument of accession.

Japan may not be able to be in NATO, although I'm sure we could amend the charter somehow. At the same time, I'm sure NATO could unilaterally sign some form of wholesale treaty with Japan/Australia/South Korea that makes it basically the same thing. Might as well get to work on the problems in the Pacific as well, right?

nobody would care about that alliance unless the big dog was in.  and we might be interested to contain china.

 

edit - thought you were saying the pacific states only.  missed the part where you said nato joined.  oopsie

What if someone gave Japan an island or some acres of land so that they could claim it as part of Japan?  

 

What if Japan bought some of those square feet for sale from Scotland ( https://www.scotlandtitles.com/ )... I mean NATO can't refuse a Scottish Lord, right?

It's not like there is going to be some sort of official announcement, but I think we can safely say that the counteroffensive has begun, right?

appears so.

i'd say it's more they are attacking targets of opportunity due to Russian attrition.

We used to have that, it was called SEATO (Southeast Asia Treaty Organization), but it got disbanded in 1977: https://history.state.gov/milestones/1953-1960/seato#:~:text=In September of 1954%2C the,gaining ground in the region.

The Kaliningrad thing is really interesting.  It is home to a huge military base--primarily navy.  But much of that garrison has been sent off to Ukraine.  And of what is left there . . . doesn't want to be sent to Ukraine.

Historically, Russian revolutions start with or are fueled by naval mutinies.  The Potemkin in 1905, the Kronstadt mutiny in February 1917, the Aurora in October 1917--they reflect pretty clearly that the navy has always been the most politically suspect of all of the services.  And the Soviet Union recognized that--the Soviet Navy had a zampolit on every boat, and the navy was never really trusted.

You have to wonder how much of this sentiment had made its way inside the Russian Navy base at Kaliningrad.  Certainly the easiest way for these sailors and marines to ensure that they don't get sent to Ukraine is to . . . be in the Koenigsberg Navy rather than the Russian one.

And from a practical standpoint, if it were to happen, I don't think there's a lot Moscow could do about it in the near term.  There's no overland route to the Kaliningrad Oblast.  So any ground expedition to retake it would have to be amphibious.  And that would be pretty impossible if the local garrison were supporting the secessionists.

But that's of course a big "if."  And it's an "if" that probably depends entirely on the military's morale and present sense of how things are going (and are likely to go) in Ukraine.

I would not be surprised to see NATO evolved to be a new version of the UN without Russia and China and with more bite when it comes to stopping wars and genocides.

It’s starting to feel like the Russian occupation could collapse much faster than I thought was possible.

Military operations often fail the same way that people go bankrupt: very slowly....then all at once.  Failure and collapse are very contagious.

^NSFW Warning: Blew his own brains out over a broken leg. During my entire time in the Marines the thought that my buddies wouldn't do everything in their power to save me if I was injured is just unfathomable. This tells you a lot about the Russian Army and the situation they put themselves in.

I mean, guys...I didn't tell y'all EVERYTHING that happened while I was in Finland.  A gentleman is discrete.

Okay, but then why are YOU being discrete?

Man. It looks like everything is a rotten house of cards with them at this point. "How are you a superpower?" seems pretty prophetic.

I'm here for it.

For me, watching him trying to stand on his broken leg and it collapsing was way more cringey than watching him take his life a few seconds later.
