Another new island Nishino-shima born in 2013 located 200km(125miles) north from Iwo-jima.
Chinese fishing boats used to gather around this area to poach coral.

Chinese fishing boats near the Ogasawara Islands nine years ago.
They seemed to have given up poaching due to fuel shortage.

When I was in the Outer Hebrides Islands for missile firing practice in 1963, we encountered Soviet "fishing trawlers". They were covered with radio antennas.

Ronco fish finders, I'm sure.

Maybe they were an upgraded version of "Armed Merchant Cruiser"?!

They were SIGINT stations masquerading as fishing trawlers. We warned them that they were in our range impact area but they wouldn't move so we fired our missiles anyway.

What's Russian for "INCOMING!"?

What's Russian for "INCOMING!"?

входящий!

Or

прибывающий!

So, they were AMCs, infact!

Armed with inteligence equipment.

N.Korea announced to Japan Coast Guard yesterday that it would launch a satellite rocket during the period from November 22 to December 1.
Earlier today, Japanese government suddenly announced that N.Korea had launched a missile a while ago and recommended the people to evacuate.

Q. Evacuate to where?
A. To a safe place.

Don't go to Guam, though. It might tip over.

I honestly thought he was joking when he made that statement.

Much to my dismay, he was not...

It wasn't a statement by a "him", it was by a "Her", a dopey congresswoman a few years ago.

Actually, no, it was in fact a man. It was Representative Hank Johnson from Georgia, and it was a very poorly made joke about not putting more troops on Guam back in 2010…

An island is small, so it is called an island, not a continent.
Japanese police literally capsizes an antibase protestor's boat in Okinawa.

Ah, this is it.
US base would be too large for such a small island to be welcomed IMO.

You are right! I remembered Johnson as a dopey congresswoman. I don't think he was joking, he was just displaying monumental stupidity in public. How the Admiral kept a straight face is beyond me. "We don't anticipate that happening."
