“Great, what do we get out of it?”
Uh, the end of WWII.
Germany and Japan were highly restricted after WWII regarding military.
The US has been keeping them safe (and the world safe from their aggression as well - What country started WWI?).
We need Japan as an ally and Japan needs US as an ally .
Fair enough?
“Great, what do we get out of it?”
Uh, the end of WWII.”
Is that a joke?
“Germany and Japan were highly restricted after WWII regarding military.”
And rightfully so.
“The US has been keeping them safe (and the world safe from their aggression as well - What country started WWI?).”
Yeah, and so, WHAT DO WE GET FOR IT?
“We need Japan as an ally and Japan needs US as an ally.”
We do? For what? What has Japan ever done for us?
“Fair enough?”
I’m not trying to be argumentative, but I believe most Americans are like me and don’t see the point of defending Japan or SK anymore.
Especially given the rapid decline of our own country.
