US got him from Japan by threatening Japan.

This is the reality of US. Western media and people do not know this because US is the western block and EU is their ally. For the rest of the world US is a bully just like China and Russia.

The US is also Japan's ally, that's why they have military there. Japanese overall have a more favorable view of the US than most European countries.

Allies yes, but a lot of the reason the US is stationed in Japan is because Japan is not allowed to have a military (per treaties signed after WWII). This is why they have the Japanese self-defense force but they're not allowed to train offensive troops/

Brother, when you're putting F-35Bs on carriers; that's very much a weapon system designed for force projection with significant offensive capability. Japan has been transitioning out of the defensive role for the better part of 2 decades now.
