In the Japanese elections, LDP got enough seats to change the Japanese constitution. Article 9 can be abolished now. Has little practical meaning though. China, wisely, always assumed that Article 9 would never prevent the USA from pulling Japan into a war. And Japan's financials means Japan can not spend above 2% of its GDP even if it wanted.
Though I still find it interesting from a symbolic perspective. German re-armament, possible abolishment of article 9 of the Japenese constitution, a war in Europe, US efforts to discredit the UN... Post-WW2 order is evaporating before our eyes.
