Japan, Britain, Italy defense ministers to meet in Tokyo this week

Super losers powers

Super losers powers

I thought you claimed to be American. That's no way to talk about your supposed country.

If the smaller powers are to remain independent, they absolutely must collaborate in mutual defense treaties. It might not seem that Japan and Italy would benefit from a defense treaty, given their respective locations, but the world is much "smaller" than it used to be.

Japanese were part of Axis, during Mussolini reign in Italy

Don't forget good old US..

Biggest loser of all.. LOOOOL

Amazing that in the UK there's growing poverty and homelessness, and people at the lower end of the economic scale are struggling beyond belief, supermarket shelves are bare...... but not to fret everyone, there's always money to build more weapons.....British people need protecting from their own government at the moment, not external threats.

@Matt

This is a job creation program for UK with Italy and especially Japan's money.

The engineering headquarter will be set up in UK with BAE handling most of engineering, Japan doing composite fuselage subcontracting work like Japan always does(Think Boeing 787 which is billed as 35% Made In Japan but no one calls it a Japanese plane).

日英イタリアの次期戦闘機、共同開発は英国拠点に　日本主導は後退？

田嶋慶彦 相原亮2023年2月9日 17時00分

航空自衛隊の次期戦闘機を共同開発する日本、英国、イタリアの3カ国企業が「共同企業体（JV）」を組織し、英国に本社機能を置く方向で検討していることがわかった。政府関係者らが明らかにした。本社機能をもつ英国が開発の中心を担う可能性が高まっており、日本政府内には「日本主導の開発」が後退するとの懸念が出ている。

Enough of a winner to have you thinking about us every day of the week.

Italy will be working on reverse gears for the tanks.

During WWI Japanese cruisers and destroyers relieved the British and Italian navies of convoy duty in the Mediterranean.

One of Japan's best battleship classes were the British designed Kongo class, the first unit of which was built in UK but the remaining three were built in Japan. The IJA was modeled on the Royal Navy.

Will the U.S. let go of it, being reticent about this three-nation project conspicuously excluding the U.S.?
