In July 2014, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (coalition government of the Liberal Democratic and Komeito Party) approved a reinterpretation of Article 9. This reinterpretation allows Japan to exercise the right of "collective self-defense" in some instances and to engage in military action if one of its allies were to be attacked.
Make History is a funny way to put it. Totally unconstitutional as per article 9 but hey, Japanese First Party amirite

Seems like Shinzo Abe made this constitutional.
I don't think the sanseito has control of our sdf.
