Don't want to get ahead of myself but Japan is one of the three/four major strategic pieces of US Pacific control, so it's good to see cracks forming.

And of those, it's such a huge piece that if the US could no longer control it (Japan), then the entire US strategy is basically undone and holding other places is kind of pointless.

Yeah, if Japan broke with US the whole strategy in the Pacific goes out of the window.
