When you have one large neighbor building up and staking extraterritorial claims and another neighbor who is certifiably insane, to not strengthen yourself to act if it becomes necessary is foolishness. Weakness is a horrendously poor virtue when it comes to ensuring national sovereignty and securing territory against…

Japan has been producing much more capable fighters for decades, such as the Mitsubishi F2 and license produced F-15s. While the military balance of power has certainly shifted in the region and things are tense in the South China Sea, do you think China or Japan, whose economies are inextricabily linked, really want…
