Japan’s Defense Ministry is asking for an extra $49 billion USD!  The money will be used to create a new amphibious island hopping assault unit, as well as buy expensive Osprey VTOL transport aircraft from the United States.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV aka Drones) will also be purchased, and Japan will increase its anti-ballistic missile defense system.

Officially the Japanese defense ministry says the military increase is to defend against Korea.  Just two days ago it was revealed that the U.S. is allowing Japan to come up with unilateral invasion plans for North Korea!  Invading Korea could be a tactical move in the larger strategic goal of controlling South China Sea oil resources, which means preventing China from controlling those same resources.
