Interesting thought. Japanese elite are captured/part of the globalist cabal. So, if Q is correct about cabal hold on NK - until recently - it would make sense that Japan .gov would have some influence.
Consider the impact of rockets flying over Japan; more control of the population via emergency, forced actions by US in response, and victimhood for Japan on the international stage. Yet no real harm.
Abe is not /our guy/. The Japanese .gov is maybe more corrupt than ours.
I don't agree about the deep-rooted hate. Most of the families responsible for war were protected from war crime prosecution by the deep state in return for being controlled. Abe is related to a war criminal who was PM shortly after the war.
The god-Emperor status was always a scam since the West "opened Japan in the mid/late 1800s - Meiji Restoration. The current Emperor is abdicating after admitting he is nothing more than a puppet.
I think Hirono and others like her, like many Ds and Rs in Congress are merely working for the DS which, again, has controlled Japan since the war (and certainly to some extent before the war).
