No matter how many private donations we give, you gotta give the Japanese some credit for what they did today. They may not have aircraft carriers, but half a billion dollars.
The Japanese don’t pay for their own defense, and unlike the U.S., the Japanese still have to atone for what they did to Indonesia and S.E. Asia.
Atone? China has some atoning to do as well and what kind of a cheapskate great power are they?
