Your concerns are why we published the story you are commenting on. If you search Japan on Popular Resistance (you can use the issue cloud on the right, just click on Japan) you will see we cover Japan pretty regularly.
As far as Abe goes, we see him as a puppet of the United States in general and Obama in particular. He is doing what Obama wants. Japan is critical to the Asian Pivot, the US and its allies circling China militarily and economically (with the Trans Pacific Partnership). Japan is important to both the military and economic challenge to China.
Japan is being put into a terrible position. No doubt your nation will be fighting with China before the US is. Our hope is that Japan changes its leadership and breaks from US imperialism. That is no easy task, we know.
We will keep covering Japan . . .
