Someone said keep your enemy close to you.
Japan has now increased their military budget self-defense budget for the first time since world war II.
The Japanese government is finally Awakening up to the fact that they really have to defend for themselves in the future if Joe Biden gets elected and I think this is one of the reasons why the military budget has greatly increased this time around.

Don't forget about the intel last week that China had been strong -arming NK to do some missle testing prior the election...
That's a good point.
I do remember reading about that.

The missile flew for 53 minutes, reaching an altitude of around 4,500 km before descending and landing within Japanβs Exclusive Economic Zone. The missile traveled a distance

And I mean really increased this time around.
North Korea tested the 100 kiloton-class warhead for this missile in September, 2017. A couple of months later, they tested the prototype for this missile. In the 3 years since, they have apparently put this missile and its transporter-launcher into production. In other words, North Korea became a full-fledged nuclear power on Trump's watch. That's a fact, and has nothing to do with what Biden might or might not do if he is elected.
Japan is awakening to the fact that Trump let North Korea get strategic nuclear weapons and Japan now has to deal with that fact.

Arm Yourselves and Prepare; China Massing "Tens-of-Thousands" of Troops in Prince Rupert and Vancouver Canada. Invade USA?

Under a Treaty signed in late 2019 with Canada, the People's Liberation Army of China has been quietly massing military troops in Canada since the beginning of 2020 and those troops are believed to be readying for an actual military invasion of the United States.
While it has long been rumored that China began massing troops and armor in southern Mexico for a similar invasion goal, word of such troops appearing in Canada only began this year. Those rumors were pretty much laughed off until video emerged this week of Chinese troops on a back road of Salt Spring Island, near Vancouver, British Columbia. Here is that 35 second video:

Didn't Trump go to North Korea and hold very successful diplomacy talks with Kim Jong? Or maybe Trump over exaggerated the success of these talks, maybe he had the wool pulled over his eyes by Kim Jong?
Either way, it seems Trump succeeded in bolstering NK's Offensive Capabalities.

The photo does sure looks a little strange. The missile also seems a little large for the mobile carrier it's on. Not mention the carrier. Might just melt the mobile carrier when it launches , tip over or do both at the same time at launch.π And where will they roll that thing at 5mph without being seen from the birds above ? It will also take a while to fuel that missile and must be done carefully. It would be found and turned dust before it ever launches. And last but not least, you don't use a missile that large ( moon rocket size) for a 100 megaton yield.
Last week China was Nuking Guam with a look alike modified Russian bomber that no one could see coming π
All this propaganda before the election.

Wow, not a link I'll be clicking, giving traffic to a balls-out-right-wing-conspiracy-laden Radio Show? I think I'll pass. Got anything more credible for that? Didn't think so!
My best guess is made of recycled metal from china, via U.S.A. and just a shell. Eye candy for the subjects of NK at the parade. could be a fake image as well.
