Raptor<\/em> japonais.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t(Du coup, nous apprenons \u00e9galement que les USA assurent les Sud-Cor\u00e9ens que cette vente au Japon n’a gu\u00e8re de chances de se faire, alors que la presse US claironne par ailleurs, quand il est question du seul Japon, que cette vente a toutes les chances de se faire. Pas de chance.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abJapan’s quest for the F-22A Raptor has alarmed South Korea, despite U.S. assurances that such a sale is unlikely. One day after media reports that Washington might approve a deal, officials in Seoul said April 27 that if their ostensibly friendly neighbor acquired the world’s most advanced fighter, South Korea would respond in kind.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbU.S. officials were quick to dampen the notion that the high-tech jet might be exported.<\/em> () <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBut the episode has revealed a growing South Korean wariness about Japan, which ravaged its Asian neighbors in the early 20th century, and which in recent years and at Washington’s urging has begun to relax the post-World War II bonds that constrained its military.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbOn April 27, South Korean Defense Minister Kim Jang-soo hinted that Seoul might seek F-35 Lightning IIs or even Raptors of its own. Japan is a rich country that can buy these fighters without difficulty. But we can’t in the same way, Kim told reporters. But I agree that we should have sufficient numbers of aircraft whose capacity is equivalent to them.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbA spokesman for South Korea’s Ministry of National Defense was more blunt. We can’t sit idly by as Japan is expediting efforts to seek air dominance in the region, said Col. Kang Yong-hee. Our Defense Reform 2020 calls for boosting defense capabilities in the long term to counter any regional military threats beyond the existing threat, North Korea.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tJapan has made no secret of its interest in the stealthy, supersonic jet. In a May 1 meeting in Washington, Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma pressed his U.S. counterpart, Robert Gates, for top-secret technical and performance specifications so Japanese officials could see for ourselves and make [our] own decision about buying the Lockheed aircraft.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tWe have heard the capability is quite high, Kyuma said. But without more concrete information [being] disclosed, we won’t be able to know.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bbU.S. officials say privately that Japan is unlikely to get permission to buy the F-22, whose export is forbidden by the 1997 Obey Amendment. They have been pushing Tokyo to consider Lockheed’s F-35 instead, one senior U.S. military official said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tRegional experts say six-plus decades have not erased South Korean memories of World War II.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tOn a rarement lu une telle avalanche de mensonges, de contradictions et de contre-v\u00e9rit\u00e9s dans les affirmations des officiels US, qui vont exactement dans le sens inverse des commentaires qui sont faits autour de l’attitude des Japonais, depuis que ceux-ci ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d’obtenir le F-22. Le cas (l’opposition Cor\u00e9e du Sud-Japon) \u00e0 propos du F-22 est pour l’instant trait\u00e9 avec une certaine l\u00e9g\u00e8ret\u00e9 du c\u00f4t\u00e9 US. Mais si l’on tient compte de la tr\u00e8s forte volont\u00e9 politique japonaise d’acqu\u00e9rir cet appareil d’une part, des probl\u00e8mes que l’exportation du F-22 pose pour la l\u00e9gislation US et la parano\u00efa am\u00e9ricaniste, il est probable que nous soyons embarqu\u00e9s pour un nouvel imbroglio dont l’administration GW Bush a le secret. Il est manifeste que les USA, en accueillant avec faveur la demande japonaise, n’avaient pas pr\u00e9vu la r\u00e9action sud-cor\u00e9enne.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
