Japan’s Aircraft Carriers That Technically Don’t Exist

Japan says it doesn’t have aircraft carriers—yet the Izumo-class ships look and act exactly like them. In this video, we unpack the clever legal workarounds, stealthy naval upgrades, and constitutional loopholes that let Japan build F-35B-ready carriers while still claiming they don’t technically violate post-WWII restrictions.

Leading into WWII, Japan had a very good navy, but very bad luck.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

It may not be a "carrier" but it's the right concept. Like the Escort ("Jeep") Carriers of WWII.

Smaller target, greater dispersion of forces, fewer eggs in one basket, has its positive aspects.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
