Isn’t Japan scrambling to come up with an extra several billion dollars to fund their recent defense spending increase over the next several years? Maybe this money would have been good to use for that? I’m all for supporting Ukraine, but why are they giving out money when they’re so strapped for it that they’re considering dipping their hands into the special income tax for reconstruction of Tohoku as one of their means of generating the extra cash?
