After eighty years of forced pacifism, Japan is finally picking up the sword again.
The Japanese parliament has successfully passed a historic amendment to Article 9 of their constitution, officially allowing the military to possess and deploy long-range offensive strike weapons. Driven by the rising threats from China and North Korea, Tokyo is rapidly building a force capable of hitting enemy bases deep inside foreign territory. The era of pure self-defense is over.
The world thought Japan was permanently tamed after World War Two. It actually just took the right amount of external pressure to wake them up. When your neighbors keep firing missiles, pacifism becomes a suicide pact.
A shield is useless if you don’t have a sword to back it up.
Is a rearmed, offensive Japan good for global stability?
