DislikedNo doubt diplomatic & formal channels were/are abuzz after Japan intervened last time. I'm just surprised Japan is so untrue to their oft-repeated words - the internal political fallout won't be repairable. I mean, as one of the most powerful countries in the world, to lay out a plan and not follow it for whatever reason implies major lack of resolve, coordination and management of your resources.
I'm not just talking a case for intervention here, but for the whole value of the yen, and what it can do to your economic prosperity. You don't resolve...Ignored
As you say, the internal damge could be irreparable......if they 'walk the walk', now that they have 'talked the talk' and it pisses Obama off....well....what a pity....he'll get over it....it ain't no big thing when your own countries future is on the line.
Doing what you like is Freedom. Liking what you do is Happiness.
