That’s a fair point... At present, it appears that letting Japan rearm would present the lesser danger.

70 years ago I would have been against letting Japan have more then a Defense Force. In fact I would have put some major restraints on even that. But that was then, this is now.

Japan has civilized quite nicely, (for the most part!)

And O-bummer has shown that he will NOT stand up for civilization. There are a number of nice freedom loving people in Asia and they need to be armed to defend themselves.
