I heard Japan wants to join NATO. Expect some consequences of that.
Actually, it is quite the reverse. A very long history of unprovoked North Korean missile threats toward Japan into the Sea of Japan and over its airspace, and kidnapping its nationals and never returning them, cyber hacking of major Tokyo firms, supporting elicit amphetamine trafficking in Japan to destroy youth, may well end in the consequences FOR NORTH KOREA, with Tokyo aligning with NATO, first with a representative office of NATO.
Japan , sadly , is still a USA lackey .
