Your evaluation of this event has deep insight. I am seeing big trouble in this situation. If Japan does not trust the United States, they will have to make other adaptations. This might mean making diplomatic overtures to China and developing nukes for their own security.

Zer0 is destroying the trust between the United States and Japan that has taken decades to develop. If this situation takes a turn for the worse, I fear a run on the US Dollar that will hurt us big time.

I agree copletely. A smart man would watch for the timing on a run away from the USD, which is so weak now.A lot of money could be made. Will the Japanese allow the yen to increase against the USD? A lot of countries are faced with the same conundrum, like Canada.
