    2. How is this related to sub

    (1) The rise of Japanese militarism: Koreans are watching the rising militarism of Japan with concerns as they are not sure where those guns will be pointing at. Is it an opportunity or a new threat ?

    3. My opinion

    Is the re-armament of Japan really a national security risk to Korea? Traditionally, stopping Japanese militarism has been one of top diplomatic priorities of Korea. But, with the US being driven to insanity with Trumpism and the rise of China, there are some calls for cooperation with Japan on security front. But, is Takaichi really trustworthy ?
