    Japan should send some super ninja badasses to sort things out. Crack some skulls, bury the odd shuriken into a throat or two.

    Or at least send the Power Rangers to do some threatening looking dance moves in front of somebody suspicious.

      Having seen the JDF in action…they may be called a defense force, but they’re nobody to screw with.

        It’s unconstitutional for Japan’s military to be anything other than a defensive organization.

        Now, in practice, they have all sorts of creative ways to get around that, one of which is linguistic tricks and “technically it’s not an aircraft carrier, it’s a…”.

        I know they were pushing through constitutional changes, or at least proposing them in the last few years, but I’m not sure if that’s been approved yet, or not. A simple Google search could yield an answer, but I’m too lazy at the moment.
