Whether this is fake news or not (no source cited) I still think the US should pull out of every foreign base and let the world burn if it happens. Japan seems to have a cultural fetish with self annihilation, so if there is a conflict apocalypse someday, it would be nice to see how Japan reacted alone to an object like N. Korea going out in a blaze of glory if it came to that. The only reason the US cares at all about Japan is precisely to have a local interest in the area against N. Korea. The same reason US cares about Israel in the middle east. Leave all bases, America. Let the global political forest burn naturally. Trying to stop it will only cause more pain. Btw, I'm not the USA's biggest fan, but America-hate is so 2005.
