#1 I am glad to see them evolve away from a total passive society, they have a right to defent themselves. Their also slowly realizing that we would have a measured capability to defend them if the Norks attacked both South Korea and Japan. I expect to see lots more of Japan building first a defensive military and then moving into force projection as a deterant.

#2 I wonder if the Japanese are going to deploy land based versions of the Aegis to protect their cities. Either that or the mobile THAAD. The missiles have similar performance, though I suspect Aegis radar is better.
