The Japanese government, on December 16, decided to update three security and defense-related documents, including the National Security Strategy. According to the documents, Japan will acquire the capability to directly attack another country’s territory in an emergency, so-called “enemy base strike capabilities.” Hundreds of Japanese residents protested against the government’s intentions to increase defense spending and against constitutional amendments and wars.
Germany rearming, Japan rearming, lol
Except there’s no USSR to check them this time
Well… there’s China, the DPRK and… Russia too I guess.
The former two will check Japan if needed. Russia though, well. USSR it ain’t.
USSR it ain’t, yes, but Russia could still keep Europe in check.
It’s already being done with Ukraine, being riddled with Nazi scum and whatnot.
