TOKYO (AP) -- Japan is debating whether to develop a limited pre-emptive strike capability and buy cruise missiles - ideas that were anathema in the pacifist country before the North Korea missile threat.

With revisions to Japan's defense plans underway, ruling party hawks are accelerating the moves, and some defense experts say Japan should at least consider them.


Rewind the tape to April 2016 when Trump was raked over the coals by the left and the media for daring to suggest that Japan should defend itself. Hmmm....
Trump spoke of Japan (and South Korea) developing their own nuclear weapons, not acquiring conventionally-armed cruise missiles. So yes, Trump is still the idiot he has always been (as is anyone who still supports him).
