米軍中佐が「辺野古完成後も普天間基地を維持」米シンクタンクで見解公表 中道新代表は辺野古見解避ける

#Okinawa #Futenma
Je voudrais pas dire "je l'avais bien dit", mais je l'avais bien dit. Le contrat dit que Futenma sera rendue "si la nouvelle base propose les mêmes fonctionalités que Futenma". Avec une piste construite sur un sol meuble, Henoko ne peut pas accueillir les gros porteurs et ne propose donc pas "les mêmes fonctionalités que Futenma". Cette bataille est loin d'être terminée...
