The Japanese Navy Izumo-class Destroyers In today’s article, I will discuss the impact of the Japanese expanding their carrier fleet and naval capacities in the Indo-Pacific region and what that means in international relations and geopolitics. The number one reason for the expansion of Japanese military power is that the United States of America has been withdrawing from its global commitments as the protector of international free trade since the end of World War II in 1945.
