I don't know why you are being downvoted. At one point "pacifist" Japan was one of the top world spenders on "defense". It's a sham and has always been so. The only benefit was that Japan didn't have to join the initial phase of any of America's invasions on behalf of its asian/middle east ally/ies. They have been spending big since the mid 90s. It's too bad that the SDF is still incompetent compared to its neighbours. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/JPN/jap... |
