Thanks for that comment. This was such an odd post. Also the other statement in it that Japan has no jurisdiction over US bases is also inaccurate. They are Japanese territory leased to the United States under the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty. While these bases are under exclusive U.S. control and operate under U.S. jurisdiction, they remain part of Japan. It seems posts like these are just intended to increase friction.
