Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, agreed to help President Barack Obama in preparations for war with Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  Abe is asking the Diet to amend Article 9 of Japan’s constitution.

Currently Japan’s U.S. imposed constitution does not allow the Japanese to take part in military action outside the country.  It has been recently amended to allow for ‘peacekeeping’ operations. Abe reminded Obama that Japan’s constitution would have to be changed in order for Japan to help the U.S. against DPRK.

Abe’s request would allow the Japanese Self Defense Forces (SDF) to be used in Korea, under the guise of collective self defense alongside U.S. troops. This is not the first time that Japan was allowed to change their U.S. imposed constitution, the first time was during the First Korean War.
