Japan unveils $1.2B not-an-aircraft-carrier aircraft carrier, biggest Japanese ship since WW2
This thread is about the inalienable right of the Ainu people to secede from Japan
Fortunately, Japan has just the boat for them to sail away in.

If they are a distinct group like the Kurds who are part of other nations due to conquest and who have been fighting for a separate homeland for this long, why would they be happy remaining under the authority of their existing governments?
They wouldn't? You can't always get what you want.
Yes, they scrapped the Harrier fleet which lots of people think was a poor decision.
Not as poor as you might think. The Harrier is not a very capable fighter, especially operated off of a STOVL carrier. It's subsonic, it has crappy range and endurance, and it can't carry much in the way of weapons. Apaches are a huge step down obviously but they're much less of a maintenance hassle and they have two engines.
The F-35B suffers from many of the same problems as the Harrier but it is at least supersonic, which gives it an actual air-to-air capability against modern jets that's worth talking about.

It was a ****ty decision because it left us with a gaping hole in our capabilities until the F-35 is ready.

Not really. The Harrier was being used primarily for ground support and the Apache covers that nicely. In the past, the Harrier was useful against older air frames in an air superiority role, but most of the world has upgraded past those older airframes. Either way, having kept them or not, they did not provide the airpower projection that is needed.
