It is historical fact that this culture has an unfortunate habit of saying one thing and doing another. Strange considering they profess to be honourable. They seriously lack in both honour and the ability to tell the truth. I suspect our "leaders" will now roll over and say ok....

Not really a surprise, they will probably withdraw from the 1986 moratorium on whaling and the 1946 treaty, which means that they can go back to doing whatever they want. Injunctions on Sea Shepherd is the first step.
Maybe we should place our own sanctions, and not buy Vixen and Takahashi telescopes, or any other Japanese products, any more. Oh, I can just hear the howls of protests from Vix and Tak fans now. Not goin' to happen!
Everyone needs Japan, so sanctions on Japan are probably not going to happen, if they don't abide by the rules, something Japan seem to flirt anyway.
Japan actually has the upper hand in all this. Simply don't play by the rules....nothin' will happen.
