@washburnt U shld realize those statements made not based on historical facts. No evidence found showing 2 events really happened @fravel

@TedYokohama Easier to adopt that attitude if you think Japan's long-term security in no way depends on relations with neighbors.

@TedYokohama You'll also find that while the alliance enjoys strong support in DC, US has little patience for that point of view.

Taylor Washburn‏@washburnt7h

@TedYokohama But if you think Japan can afford to alienate neighbors and frustrate the US, by all means, keep pushing that line.

Taylor Washburn‏@washburnt7h

@TedYokohama Personally, I think Japan's security matters more.
