Considering how America let Putin invade Ukraine under three different presidents, only sanctioned Russia for attacking Kyiv after it was clear Ukraine could hold on its own, how they have slow walked military aid to both Ukraine and Israel, how they did nothing when China annexed Hong Kong in contravention of its treaty with the British, and how they handed Afghanistan to the Taliban in the model of the fall of Saigon, Japan has to realize that US security commitments are worth a bucket of warm spit. The political fallout over the deaths of US personnel stationed in Japan would be about the only thing that would draw the US into a conflict between Japan and one of its totalitarian neighbors, then again the US did not act over service members killed in Afghanistan, Americans kidnapped in Palestine, or US sailors killed by Iranian proxies attacking international shipping, so who knows. America is not a paper tiger militarily, but politically is clearly a different story.
