Japan moves to shed pacifist ways with major defense buildup

1. It’s a defense build up, not an offense build up. Stop lying, Jeff.

2. honestly with north korea and china next door this makes me feel safer about their defense situation

3. The Land of the Rising Sun is about to shine brightly again.

4. I live in Japan. With Russia, China and North Korea all run by rabid dictators, I’m relieved Japan is taking measures to protect its peace.

   Also, that title is contradicting itself.

5. Too bad we don’t have a leader who can step foot in North Korea.

6. Externalize the threat so people stop focusing on the internal failures. Don’t forget that our government is influenced heavily by a cult, Abenomics failed, yen is weak, inflation is out of control, etc. We don’t need more missiles, we need higher interest rates, nuclear power plants, and higher wages.

7. “Japan moves to increase its tribute payments to the US by buying useless junk from American arms manufacturers”

8. About time.
