Japan stands at a strategic crossroads. Eighty years after World War II, the country still orients its security identity around pacifism and emotional memory—an inheritance that once stabilized the nation but now risks constraining it. Japan ranks among the world’s top five economies and is the United States’ most important ally in the region—an indispensable pillar in maintaining a free and open international order. Geographically, it sits in close proximity to China, the Korean Peninsula, and Russia, and hosts over 55,000 US troops, making it central to regional deterrence and rapid response capabilities. In an Indo-Pacific defined by intensifying great-power rivalry, which plays out beneath the threshold of conflict, Japan can no longer afford to treat war as a taboo subject or assume that abstention from strategic inquiry equates to safety. Whether it wishes to or not, Japan is a significant player on the board.
