Such strong words.. It seems that the United States will clearly not negotiate on relocating the simple military facility at all but instead it will stand firm on keeping the military facility in Okinawa whether the Okinawans are unhappy about it or not, they could less. This also means that.. Even though the majority of the Okinawans do not desire to be protected by the local military base yet they will do so anyways as long as the sympathy budget continues. Wait a second, I thought the United States was an ally of mutual trust and strong bilateral relation.. I must had got the wrong impression because this clearly indicates otherwise.
Of course a nation is going to be resistant if one of their allies elects new leaders that insist on renegotiating a treaty that they had just recently finalized after a decade and a half of previous negotiations. No one's is going to say, "Oh, you suddenly changed your mind? Ok then, start over then. It's no problem."
