NHK has learned that the United States has asked Japan to provide more than 3 trillion yen, or about 18.8 billion dollars, over five years to host US forces stationed in Japan. The requested amount is almost triple the current spending level.
Regarding the latest requests from the US side, the Japanese government has indicated that it is open to considering an additional contribution.But it says it cannot accept an excessive increase in its burden.
It’s extortion, and the destruction of the US’s power. That’s with Trump does. Destoys the US, and makes himself rich. Like a mob boss doing a bust out in New York in the 80s.
I don’t know, I feel like successful mob bosses tend to prioritize enriching the organization and keeping their people happy. Unless they wanna end up getting whacked.
