US-Japan military drills take place amid ‘escalating tensions’ from China, Russia
The Exercise Resolute Dragon, which runs through December 17 at locations from Okinawa in the far south of Japan to Hokkaido in the north, involves 2,600 US Marines and some 1,400 Japanese military personnel participating in a wide range of military scenarios on land, sea and in the air.
Analysts say the drills – which come shortly after bilateral sea-air exercises in the South China Sea and in waters off Okinawa prefecture, as well as a series of manoeuvres with military units from Britain, Australia, France, the Netherlands and Germany – underline Tokyo’s desire to deepen its security and military cooperation with its allies.

Why is the US woke military taking part in drills with Japan? America’s southern border is under mass invasion and the US woke military is not securing America’s border. Oh. I forgot the US work military follows orders from the UN.
Japan and Taiwan should not put too much trust in the US woke military’s questionable commitment to stand with them against China. After all, China Joe the Oppressor and his drug using son are very attached to China’s business deals / money.
