Huh:
Japan has ordered a destroyer in the Sea of Japan to strike any ballistic missiles that may be launched by North Korea in the coming weeks after Pyongyang fired a Rodong medium-range missile over the sea, a government source said on Saturday.
This is good. Although will North Korea get used to the idea that their threats aren't the trump card they once were?
For those who champion "leading from behind," this may not be ideal. It shows that when an ally isn't sure of our reliability, they will act on their own to defend their interests.
I've no problem with Japan doing this, but there will be times when our allies interests don't necessarily match ours at that moment.
