1. A Chinese naval flotilla led by a powerful destroyer has been on a 12-day circumnavigation of Japan’s main islands in a display of military power as tensions simmer over Taiwan and as Japan prepares to host G7 leaders next week.

   Japan’s Defense Ministry on Thursday released a map showing the Type 055 guided missile destroyer Lhasa, one of the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s most powerful warships, leading a four-ship flotilla that also included a smaller destroyer, a frigate and a supply ship on the clockwise circumnavigation.

2. Chinese warship go fuck yourself

3. Can we still invest in war bonds? Or war stocks? I feel like those are going to be valuable in the future either I like it or not.

4. Probably several undetectable Ohio class subs in the same waters.

5. What’s their objective, to get the Japanese defense budget raised even higher?
