Finished listening to The Rise of Modern Japan. It was interesting to hear their perspective on WW2 and the American occupation, which was only accepted, because the Soviet occupation would've been infinitely worse. They also earned a lot of money from the USA's asian adventures in Korea and Vietnam. According to Mark Ravina, Japan will likely join China over the USA, if it comes to picking sides. So Japan's recent rearmament might be aimed against the USA, instead of China.
