China’s gonna dig up a map from the 1300s with the island on it claiming it as the rightful territory of China since ancient times
And then dredge up an airbase around it. And then accuse Japan of “covert geological incendiary incursions” instead of, you know, admitting they built a thing on an active volcano.
There is already a Japanese airbase about a mile away from it. The airbase was the first to confirm the new island.
Japan’s Maritime Self-Defence Force’s air base on Iwoto Island (previously known as Iwo Jima Island, the site of a major Second World War battle) confirmed the emergence of the new island last week after personnel heard a loud explosion that sent sand and ash flying high into the air.
oh man. I did not think so many would be thinking the same thing on this one.
The hive mind is strong with this one.
Yeah, maybe wait a while before moving

Tough, China already called it.
Gotta stick a flag in it or it doesn’t count
Or set a bottle of booze on it.
You’ll get there only to find a bottle of Canadian whisky and some Danish vikings drinking it…
Do you have a flag?
Eddie?
no mine
You guys might not want to fight over an island so close to sea level considering climate change.
Yeah but this one’s a grower 😉
All islands are close to the sea
Except the ones that aren’t.
No, I mean in terms of how high above the sea the island is.
Yeah, Squid. That was uh… the joke.
I know your game.
You just wanna piece of my island.
There is definitely a giant radioactive lizard emerging at that location.
