In a surprise "snap" drill in July, Russia mobilized 160,000 troops, 1000 tanks, hundreds of planes and other aircraft, and in an unprecedented move, partnered with China in war games with the perceived threat of repelling a joint Japanese-American first strike. The exercise was personally overseen by Vladimir Putin who had his hand on the button, ready to pull the trigger.
Now, what may have prompted such a move?
Enter the new shogun, samurai, or whatever you want to call Japan's head hauncho. This cowboy wants to change Japan's constitution to allow for an offensive military as a fundamental right to bear arms, kinda like our second amendment. Japan, as some of you may know, lost its ability to maintain an offensive military capability after the second world war. Here's a picture of that mean little dude:
