“Japan has a few useless islands that China is trying to get by force. Abe wants the U.S. to back Japan in keeping these islands. ‘Let’s you and him fight.’ He is also concerned that North Korea keeps launching missiles. ‘Tell them to stop.’ America pays for Japan’s defense because (1) we need Japan to keep useless islands away from China, and (2) we need a port for our carriers, so that the boys can let off a little steam on shore leave. Japan encourages this so that it can keep corporate taxes low, so that Japan’s export sector can bankrupt American firms, which pay taxes to defend Japan.”
