    My understanding is that after the war, the US agreed to defend Japan. And Japan is still allowed to defend itself against others too. I don’t understand how what you’re saying is related at all.

      The US occupied Japan. The agreement wasn’t exactly one made by equals. It was the same kind of deal as the Marshall Plan.

      Which parts of what I said don’t seem related?

        The US occupied Japan

        Only until 1952. Everything you’re saying sounds like a strawman argument.
