I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Right, like the helicopter carriers. My point was more about people who get terrified about Abe revising Article 9, which he should. I think Japan should have offensive weapons.

It's not like if the SDF became the Japanese Army, they'd suddenly start beheading Chinese people and raping Korean women.

Edit: efb on the the totally not an aircraft carrier.

wouldn't an archipelago island nation have a lot of use for sea/airlift capability if only for defense anyway

If they go up against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel is going to want in with our without the Saudi's approval, and Iran is likely to go balls deep as well.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

The Saudi Arabia thing is loving Tom Clancy levels crazy. They invite the prime minister of Lebanon over for a meeting, he “resigns” as prime minister at the meeting, and directly after they declare that Lebanon has declared war on them. That prime minister, by the way, is still stuck in Saudi Arabia and is not being allowed to leave. Then they gas light Iran, who took the bait and is now saying they support the Yemen ballistic missile firing into Saudi’s capitol, and reports are saying hezbollah is amassing the majority of its troops in Lebanon in expectation of an invasion.

By invading/seizing everything valuable in Yemen, Bahrain, and Qatar. Bombing the rest and killing most of the civilians. Lebanon/Iran left them no choice you see.

Realistically the corridor from Saudi Arabia through the edges of Jordan, Iraq, and Syria are already shitholes so either of those three protesting Saudi armies and Air Force tracing through their "sovereign" territories is the best you're going to get. Jordan could oppose then. Iraq could oppose them, but they're not going to work together to do so. Neither wants a war with Saudi Arabia.

So if this goes down. (And lol, it's 2017, of course it will) The Saudi Air Force will be overflying Jordan, and any land forces will travel through the west tip of Iraq and cross through the wastes that remain of Syria. And neither the Iraqi or Jordanian governments will do more than yell at the international community.

In summary this is a bad idea for every single nation in the region and there's no way its not devolving into a bunch of genocides and land grabs.

No this is the one where the Saudi tanks tell the American soldiers what's wrong with themselves when they turn them on and automatically order replacement parts.

Will Jordan even care enough to object? If they agree on the basis of "well it means they're hitting Hizballah so we retroactively consent" I wouldn't be all that surprised.
