Who in the goddamn fuck would ever care about how the land of Shinzo Abe feels? They’ll do what they’re told by their CIA handlers so their feelings on local issues matter next to nothing.
as long as they have a military, they matter.
They’ll do - what their CIA handlers - tell them to do. They can get riled up, they can get rabid, they can go insane and pull their britches up above their heads; nothing will matter until their handler gives them the go ahead. Their army is only theirs in a sense of its place of origin. They have no sovereign decision power and are an American appendage through and through.
