1. OK
2. You definitely weren't clear. Fact.
3. So using history to predict future behavior, you use 77+ years ago data over the last 77 years data? Very strange approach.
4. Nope. Just some emotionally out of control folks think that.
5. I am aware of everything you mentioned about post-WW2 Japan. My Dad was there in WW2 and educated me quite well on the subject in the 1950's-60's. Thanks, Dad. RIP. But that doesn't/hasn't stop /ed them from spending on their military or they wouldn't have any, now would they? And they are free to change their constitution at any time - no outside restrictions. Did you know that?
