Hasn't it been aptly renamed to department of war?

No, because Trump doesn't have that power, weirdly enough. However, they're getting around it by using it as a nickname that just happens to be plastered all over their logo/seal.

Japan has basically been an American colony since WW2 and America also took over the Franco-British colonial project called Israel around this time so they're basically sibling countries! Except the Japanese, much like the Romans, actually have a culture besides pillaging and raping...

Recent comments by the new Japanese PM stating that an invasion of Taiwan may trigger an "existential crisis" for Japan that would allow them to deploy self defense forces to defend Taiwan.

It's created a gigantic diplomatic and economic fight between Japan and China.
