I think you think war is a video game, war is horrible my friend, is horrible, and you do not need to start a war just because in a past war a nations killed each other.
Wars are not something we want do i ask you are you going to be affected if there is a war between China and Japan?
Do you think a war is good a video game, i know some people play games of war in the sentakus, i know that but i will tell you war is no game.
Japan has not blinked neither will give the islands to China simple like that, if they do it will be with a big pressure by the US but a war will be a huge thing and the Japanese will use logic to avoid one.
Wars are no game only a person who is bad in the brain or insane can want a war when there are such beautiful things in life
or do you think Japanese Children need to endure a war?
No my friend the odds we are discussing are high for that reason the Japanese sent a protest to China and that was the right thing to do to avoid wars, you think Japan blinked because i am sure you have no friends in Japan who can suffer is there is a war or do you have friends? tell me what you gain by saying Japan blinked?
I also don't want to see a war. I have friends of many ethnicities and many countries, including Japan.
However I also understand this is a territorial dispute, and that both nations will try to push each other as far as they can while avoiding war. China doesn't want war. I hope Japan doesn't want war either.
However Japan started this by arresting that fisherman in 2010 and then buying the islands last year. If that didn't happen then none of this would have occurred.
But Japan did press China on its claims to the islands, and China had to respond. Are you suggesting China should have just shrugged and let it go?
So what do I gain by saying Japan "blinked first"? nothing. I'm only speaking what happened. China played a good card in this territorial dispute, exactly because they can erode Japan's claim without firing a shot.
