In fact I think that is the most interesting facet of modern Japan: they could easily choose to become a global military superpower - they have simply chosen not to go down that road. It's not that hard to understand - during their run as an imperial power, they controlled most of Asia, but it ended up with their country in ruins. .

You can do a similar thing by spinning around really fast and falling to the ground because you are too dizzy to get up.
I think this is a very bad move.
We as a world should be moving to a disarmed status.
Nations should be reducing their armies and weapons and seriously working to form a one world nation.
Yes, I know everyone is scared s**tless about this concept, but if we are to survive as a species, we need to all work together and stop thinking up ways to kill each other.
Here's a rather blunt observation.
1 Japan probably has nowhere near enough people to form a decent Army/Navy/AF capable of protecting much more than Japan.
2 Japan has made rather intelligent robotics and is coming closer every day to a true AI.
I think the outcome is rather obvious,
Japan will build robotic soldiers to fill the ranks of Japan's new military.
To me this concept is scarier than One World Government.
You've all seen the terminator trilogy right?
It is the end for humans once robot soldiers that can think for themselves are built.

What seriously needs to happen is for the UN to be reworked and given military power to actually enforce things.
IMO they are like a tree fort clubhouse that relies on the strongest members to enforce the rules.
Since they are the strongest members, they can actively not listen to the UN and no one can do anything about it, (the US war in Iraq)

Long gone are the days of WW2 when Japan could invade China.

IF The Japenese build robots all the united states has to do is EMP them and viola we have destroyed at least half of their army.

So if Japan builds up a military force, should they have nukes? That makes a bit of a difference.
