IS JAPAN THE NEW REICH?

     As a watcher of universal trends that hint a a new world order, its clear that our globe is politically divided into three blocs. First, the Totalitarian countries of mainly Russia and China. Second, the Islamic bloc with the likes of IS, Boko Haram, Al Qaeda and others, not to mention seemingly benign Islamic states and countries. Third, little ol' us of the democratic world, with the US, Europe, Canada etc.Japan wants to be seen as part of the latter bloc, but it alarms me for one, although i've not read anything to suggest that they are anything but a loyal Western ally. Really?                                                 The Japanese govt. is pushing to change laws that gives them "fast access of their military into theatres of war". This is in the name of being able to support Western allies and peace-keeping. From info I've seen and read in the last 18 mths the Japanese military, navy and air force are recruiting like never before in modern times, and their training is fanatical. Well, excuse me but I thought the surrender of Germany and Japan obliged those countries to arm themselves as was sufficient for their immediate defense, not to a level to fit them out to engage other countries externally, nor where they were under any direct threat.                                                                                                                           Remember, following WWII, although Germany had been quashed, within 20 years it had re-built enough military might to almost conquer the rest of the world.So what is the real reason that Japan is so hell-bent on building up its armies and legislating for its unrestricted movement? This is a country that, 70 years ago at the armistice, had to undertake not to worship its Emperor as the One God, to not consider consequently that only the Japanese were truly human while all others were sub-human [hence the justification to torture and maltreat the sub-humans]. Am I being alarmist, or will we see a repeat of Chamberlain smooching up to Hitler?
