For what it's worth, ive noticed a huge increase in US troops in Japan
Its easy to notice because corona restriction prevent tourists from coming. I talk to bar tenders too. There has been an uptick since May But its really increased the past two weeks.
Im going to Okinawa tomorrow. I have a couple GS13s to talk to.
I used to work for Nishimura Chem Tech in Tsuruhashi Osaka translating power point presentations. They make semiconductors. I got to know erything they're doing because I did all the business English and also tutored their international sales team.
TSMC has been here since April.
I remember before both gulf wars, we had all these pilots staying in the motels in Cape Hatteras. They were doing laser targeting drills. All of knew we were going to war in Iraq because childless men who arent related dont stay together especially in the off season.
I would hate to see Taiwan lose Kinmen or Matsu over Pelosi.
