What percent is this of the GDP? Japan used to keep defence expenditures lower than 1% of GDP.
As of April it was .929%.

The easiest way to fleece a country’s coffers is through “defense”, or protection, along with wars. In his essay “War is a Racket”, former USMC Maj Gen Smedley D Butler, exposed US wars as a racket. The long written version as well as a reenactment are in the web/You-Tube.
Along the same line of thought, Bill Still, in his documental,(full), “The Money Masters”, expose how the bankers have gotten hold of governments to the point that we are heading to a dead end in debt. That explains the spending frenzy in defense, space programs, and the newly created space cadet corps. These two sources are eye openers for those who are awake.

Long overdue.
Cyberspace Japan is left behind even by countries like North Korea. We all remember the Sony cyber attack, bitcoin attack.
Article 9 and the Plaza Accord of 1985 have one purpose and one purpose only. To keep Japan back economically and militarily.
Your national security should never depend on another country thousands of miles away with their own agenda who had no problem using the most horrible weapon in the world on Japanese people... Twice
