Once again, YEAR 2018 = roughly the benchmark year when the US hopes to firmly or permanently establish GMD-TMD in East Asia vee its Regional Allies: + also when JAPAN HOPES TO HAVE ITS POST-WAR CONSTITUTION SUCCESSFULLY AMENDED AS PER JAPAN BEING ALLOWED TO POSSESS NUCWEAPS + ITS JSDFS BEING ALLOWED TO ENGAGE IN NON-"DEFENSIVE", INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES OR VENTURES.

YEAR 2018 = WHEN JAPAN HOPES TO BEGINS ITS "LOMNG MARCH" BACK TO BEING A MAJOR WORLD POWER IN MANY OR ALL GEOPOL DIMENSIONS, INCLUD NUCLEAR, NOT JUST REGIONAL OR ECONOMIC.
