    If anything, with the US out of the way, I'd see Japan attempting to make the ROK into a satellite state, except miserably failing due to increased pressure to compete economically with China. If America declines, then I'm guessing Japan would do a speed run of the last 30 years of American history, starting with austerity and ending with a PM somehow even weirder than Taro Aso.

      Why is Taro Aso weird? I feel like Japan trying to make the ROK into a satellite would be a disaster because Koreans aren't fans of Japan.

        He's comparable to George W Bush in a lot of ways. He's awful at public speaking and notorious for pronouncing words wrong, even really simple ones. He comes from an extremely wealthy family that maintained friendships with a lot of prominent politicians. He has a talent for saying the weirdest, wrongest, most racist or sexist things possible but then try to play it off by saying like he was tired or they're mistakes anyone could make. Like once a few years back he said no one noticed when Weimar Germany became Nazi Germany. One of his more famous statements is "hurry up and die" in regards to Japan's elderly population.

        For some reason he's also the Japanese government's anime ambassador?

      Oh Taro Aso. Last PM had to step down because his asshole was bleeding, so the LDP just replaced him with an actual bleeding asshole.

      Edit: nvm, I mixed up Aso with Suga for some reason. I stand by the bit though.
