1. Did LDP play TFR? This is literally one of Japan’s focus trees

   And this is my third tfr comment in a Japan sub

2. As in other words “Money!!!”

3. But according to the government they’re not weapons, they’re “defense equipment with lethal capabilities” and it’s not war profiteering but “development of the capabilities and technologies of strategic industries”

4. Just like Japan doesn’t have an army, just self defense forces 自衛隊

5. The article doesn’t mention it but these arms exports are only permitted to countries which have signed an agreement for defense tech transfer and excludes any states presently in conflict.

   It’s a list of 17 states like UK, Australia, India, Germany, France, and a couple of Southeast Asian countries like Singapore, Philippines, and Indonesia. They’re not selling arms to North Korea you know…

6. What do they even produce to export on that market?

7. Please tell me we’re gonna get howa type 20s in the US🤞🤞

8. Stop letting crazy people into government.
