USA vs Japan round 2?

Everything else he’s done regarding foreign policy in my opinion has been actively and knowingly malicious and done to damage the relationship between the US and its soon-to-be-former allies.
But this? I think this is just him being a fucking moron.

I’m not really concerned about this. This is down right tame compared to the anti-Japan hysteria of the 80s and early 90s. Japan has also been pursuing a more equal relationship with the USA since the second Abe cabinet so this is actually more or less the direction Japan is already going.

You know what? It is uneven… For Japan.
Seriously, Japan’s postwar constitution puts restrictions on its military in exchange for guarantees of American military support because America when rebuilding Japan, didn’t want a do-over of WWII again. Considering America is reneging on that arrangement, I think it’s time to consider some amendments to the constitution to begin rearmament and if worst comes for worst, take a good hard look at all those American military bases which Japan so kindly hosts

Japan needs to re-arm anyway. Do it (and get nukes + extended umbrella to Taiwan).

Between this, waffling on Taiwan & the heel turn on Ukraine, amending article 9 and building offensive capabilities is the most reasonable option. Wouldn’t be surprised if LDP neocons are pushing this to influence public discourse.
