Is It a Bipartison Value?

How long can the united states count on japan to really be our lynch pin in asia? It's a fair question, and we have an interest, national interest, in figuring out that question. In terms of intent, i think abe has fixed japan's trajectory in a way that subsequent prime ministers are generally going to follow. There could be big changes if we have war in asia, or if e us, you know, retreats from asia, but i don't anticipate those.
