“Now all he needs to do is pop over to Kiev”
It’s Kyiv, not Kiev if you want to be politically correct.

Hamada could use a fashion consultant before photo-ops. That's one messy suit!

Good. It's about time that the JGSDF had better things to do besides the Sapporo Snow Festival.

Not politically correct, just the correct spelling.
Good for Japan, it has needed to react to the radically changed geopolitical circumstances surrounding it for some time.

Ok, however if US wants help Japan they should allow Japan to build nuclear weapon to defend on their own.

Huh? This makes no sense, it's like saying someone should "allow" a vegan eat a steak. Japan has an non-nuclear weapons policy, they have no interest in creating nuclear weapons:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan%27s_non-nuclear_weapons_policy
Japan is of the stance that the world should be absent of nuclear weapons.

Japan doesn't need to be "allowed". They can do so if they really wanted to. But it would need to revise it's 1967 Three Non-Nuclear Principles first. The objection would be mostly from the Japanese public and China and Koreas.

My wife and I were both impressed with Secretary Austin at the B-21 roll-out. Where the Deputy Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Northrop Grumman CEO both used notes for their remarks, Mr. Austin spoke at length with no notes. If you have ever spoken in public, or even before an audience, you know that is hard to do.
