posted: The US and Japan have resurrected a controversial deal to move thousands of Marines from the island of Okinawa.


The deal to move the Marines, signed in 2006, had depended on the closure of a US airbase on the island. But Japan has been unable to relocate the base.


However, both sides have now agreed to "de-link" the two issues, paving the way for the Marines' redeployment.



Are we really sure the Japanese are ready for independent governance without the watchful eye of US military occupation?

Theres no point in occopying Japan any further. Right now it would serve USAs interest if Japan decided to start massacring the Chinese again

Close most of those bases

What sucks is the people in most of the areas around the bases love them because of how they help the local economy. The US cant afford this anymore.

Afaik most of the Japanese and Korean people who live around them hate them for the noise and frequent child-rapes
