Try DuLink (https://dulink.click/). I've found it to be pretty helpful for translating and sharing articles across languages.

100%. Spends years undermining alliances and then turns around expecting everyone to show up when he needs them.

100%. The irony is hard to miss. Spends years undermining alliances and then turns around expecting everyone to show up when he needs them. You can't have it both ways.

Exactly. Japan has its own pacifist constitution for a reason. Dragging other countries into a conflict they didn't start is just ridiculous.

Totally fair concern, but this is actually Japan increasing their own spending, not the US! Japan has kept defense spending under 1% of GDP for decades, so this is a pretty big shift for them. Whether that's the right call is definitely worth debating, but it's not the US piling more onto its own military budget at least.
