Japan faces 58 bil. yen tab for interceptor

The United States has asked Japan to contribute 58 billion yen toward a joint missile defense development project expected to begin in fiscal 2006, The Yomiuri Shimbun learned Sunday.

The U.S. government estimates it will spend a total of 545 million dollars (about 58.3 billion yen) on the project by fiscal 2011 and it has requested Japan make an equal contribution.

Japan contributed 26.2 billion yen to joint Japan-U.S. technical research on the missile defense system between 1999 and 2005.

I wish Japan would tell the US to f*ck off.

1. Maybe remembers to mushroom clouds and cannot tell us to fuck off.

2. They told Canada we wouldn't have to pay a thing to join. Yeah! Right!

This will be Canada :hi:

This will be the US with missile defense: :tinfoilhat:

:hi::tinfoilhat:

Everything that gets shot down before it hits the US will hit Canada. With or without missile defense.

:nuke:
:hi::tinfoilhat:

Where else are the bombs going to be shot down - Over Russia? (No - Russia is where the bomb will be tracked as it starts out from Asia) Over Mexico? (equator is too wide to send a bomb - it will be sent over the pole).

I think we Canadians and the world will be much better off if nuclear non-proliferation treaties are mean and destroy all bombs. Why what will the US say once they have star wars up? "come on - hit me - I dare ya!".
