Japan Plans to Defend South Korea

Will the South Koreans be fine with this? I mean many still haven't moved on considering the past tragedies between Japan and the Koreas, this being the only common denominator (aside from the Korean culture itself) for North-South relations despite both have hostile views toward each other.

i think you all are reading too much into this, if a second korean war happens, it'll still be the US who are gonna be the main force against north korea, japan plays a supporting role at best.

as for japan and its war criminals/apologies etc. the problem isn't that they did not show remorse or apologize, because japan has made many statement of apology and remorse. the problem is that right after they do they then immediately undermine their own apologies by doing things like questioning whether massacres or force prostitution happened, the fact that these debates and questions are coming from politicians in power, spits in the face of the millions that they killed. meanwhile in germany, the swastika is banned and no public leader would ever question whether the holocaust was real., see the difference?

as for the south koreans, this doesnt mean they are some how "under the protection" of japan, just that there is another ally (implying equal status)in case sh1t hits the fan, they know the only one they are "under the protection"(implying hierarchical status) of is the US

Encirclement

It is interesting to note that in January 2010, it was reported in the news that the U.S. had completed the transfer of a $6.4-billion weapons deal with Taiwan that included 200 advanced Patriot anti-ballistic missiles. It was also reported earlier that month that the U.S. had provided Taiwan with eight frigates equipped with the Aegis Combat System, which has the capacity to launch ship-based interceptor missiles.

That completed the deployment of the Aegis component of the U.S. interceptor missile system in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Australia. In addition, Taiwan has already a network of 22 missile sites around the country… ready to go!
