#1 ..This might mean a lot more than it says at first. First, although the Japanese do have both Patriot and Aegis, those are designed more to deal with tactical missiles than ICBMs. On the other hand, if they have the US ground-based interceptor missiles, they can whack Nork missiles as they come in - or go by, and they will be able to do it without clearing it with the Japanese NCA - or ours...
