This is another sign that the liberal democratic alliance system built over decades is fraying at the seams. Apparently the strong statement takaichi made affirming the defense of Taiwan was supposed to be officially strongly backed by the US. Obviously this never came.
Personally I’m surprised allied countries still do risky foreign policy moves suggested by the US (her declaration was apparently a Colby suggestion). This is not the first time an ally was left high and dry for taking a move against China, and likely won’t be the last

This one might go down as one of the worst FAFO moment in Japan diplomacy history. I genuinely don’t know what is going on inside her head.
