If the pres were not now world famous for abandoning people this NEVERnwould have happened. For G-d’s sake Russia still occupies Japanese territory...!
This is like the guys at the Alamo doing maneuvers with Santa Ana.
THE FAULT OF ONE SINGLE MAN.
PS - there will soon be an arms race in Asia.
IMO, Red China is a bigger threat for Japan’s security.
It worth to forget something and team up with Russia, India and Vietnam who are natural opponents and potential foes of China right now.
With all the free trade crap and debt neither US administration will ever opt for Japan against China.
