Wasn’t that codified in treaties? Did we just really poo poo on all tribal treaties?

And yes, treaties are explicitly a higher authority than the Supreme Court. It was that ruling that finally got me to decide that the court has no legitimacy.

A semi relevant SCOTUS ruling on vaccine mandates: https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/197/11/

I say semi relevant because it pertains to state legislatures and the current court is acting in patently unconstitutional ways.

Nothing is a clearer indication that you're an actual fascist, and quite possibly some flavor of National Socialist than advancing a "both sides" narrative when what you really want to say is 6MWE.

The only both sides narrative of the holocaust worth advancing is how the Western Front and Eastern Front met in the middle to exterminate some Nazis.

I swing between "yeah it makes sense for them militarily and for US strategically for them to have a military" and "Japan building an aircraft carrier should be casus belli for every nation on the Pacific Rim" depending on how much they demonstrate that they've not moved on from WWII style nationalism.

Germany went hard on denazification even if a bunch slipped through. The dude that just got murked was a figurehead of Japan's ongoing historical revisionism about the Imperial Japan years.

Don't forget that post-Macarthur, many of the people that were running Japan were involved during the war. It wasn't like Abe, either. I'm talking people with direct criminal involvement. I could list names, but the list is fairly long. Let me just start it with Nobosuke Kishi, who was an economic manager (chief exploiter) of Manchuko and one of the individuals who voted for war against the US, and who eventually became a Prime Minister post-war.

"legally" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, and the answer is they'll help or not as the political winds blow. The boats and missiles have no concept of legality in their arming circuits.

There are a lot of ways of assisting with a military effort that are of utmost importance that have nothing to do with handling bullets and launching warships. Japan is well positioned to provide meaningful assistance in most of those capacities. They don't have to violate their laws to be a critical partner in the defense of Taiwan.

This is so much irony that it collapses under its own mass into a narrative singularity from which nothing can escape. The Punisher's backstory is that he went on his rampage only after the police, courts, and government failed to do anything about the criminals that killed his family.

You can't be UCMJ'd for activities when you're not in the service. The worst they can get him for is falsifying documents, if he lied when they asked him about criminal activities. If he said "yeah, I was at the capitol" when they asked and they let that through, then lol.
