CDR Salamander - Japan’s New Defense Posture, with Jack McCain - on Midrats

When one of the world’s most advanced, high-technology militaries, that, even with a relatively low level of spending, still has one of the most capable forces on the planet, decides that it will double its spending…it gets attention.

When that power is one of America’s best friends, it generates smiles.

That may be too broad a description, but for those in the national security arena looking beyond the Russo-Ukrainian War and events in Southwest Asia, this is one of the most important developments of the last few years.

Where is Japan going?

Returning to the Midrats Podcast this Sunday from 5–6 p.m. LIVE to discuss this will be Jack McCain.

You can join us LIVE at this link with access to the show chat.
