The US may have it's faults, and certainly has issues with racial tensions. Only a few have the power and capability to take the lead.

Invariably there will be countries that take the lead in global politics, and countries that will be followers. Taiwan isn't really worth fighting a World War over (although I would, I like Taiwan).Д¬hecking China's rise is worth fighting a war over. Ideologically driven delusion of a sociopath. As any good Communist, you think that muslim sectarianism of Yemen's civil war is about the West, that 'War on Terror' wasn't literally in Bin Laden's open declaration of intentions BEFORE 9/11, or that Vietnamese themselves call US invasion a blip in history compared to a 'thousand year war' with Chinese, latest of which was the Sino-Vietnamese war as Chinese Communists decided that Vietnamese Communism was just not the correct kind of Communism to have and invaded. That way I can just openly mock you, instead of even pretending there's something there. I suppose I should be happy that your kind of ideologically possessed genocidal sociopaths feel comfortable enough with their horrific views as to air them in the open. More dead than every other ideologically motivated death combined over last hundred years, but this is ok, because as undesirables were cleaned out, others were allowed to have children and family size was sufficient to manage anemic population growth during the same time everyone had a post war population explosion. They were seriously planning to pit untrained civilians armed with makeshift spears against battle-hardened and heavily-armed US Marines when the US inevitably invaded the Japanese home islands.ДЄh yes, the 'genocide is ok as long as I agree with the ideology genocide is based' narrative. The military had too much power, and too much of the military wanted to fight to the bitter end. That's almost certainly a good thing, but it's worth noting that had that been the case in 1945 it's unlikely that Japan would have surrendered. The Japanese emperor today, of course, has a purely ceremonial position with no political power at all. And, indeed, when at the end of the war and after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he finally did decide that he had to put a stop to it, the result was that a faction of the military attempted to assassinate him (for a second time - there was an attempted coup in 1936 by a military faction that was the direct ancestor of the pro-war group that attempted to stop the surrender). Hirohito didn't choose war, he just didn't choose to take on a large enough policy role to stop it. True, but it's worth pointing out that Japan got into WWII, and especially into a fight with the United States over the objections of its emperor, who was not mercurial at all, but had receded to a largely ceremonial position even though he still held immense status. Democratic Japan has demonstrated multiple generations of good world-citizenship that is based on widely held modern cultural values, rather than based on the mercurial whims of an emperor. Yes, but Democratic Japan and Imperial Japan are very different counties. (Other countries, including the United States, built early carriers by using the hulls of other types of ships.) The Imperial Japanese Navy built the world's first purpose-built aircraft carrier, Hosho, in 1922. Japan was heavily reliant on its navy for power projection and took a natural liking to the concept of operating planes from ships. In December 1941, Japan operated the largest and best-trained carrier force in the world. The F-35Bs landed vertically on Izumo's flight deck and then performed a rolling takeoff. Two F-35B Joint Strike Fighters operating from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni took off from mainland Japan, refueled in midair, and then landed on the ship JS Izumo. The flight took place on October 3 in the Pacific Ocean.

Japan was one of the first pioneering naval aviation powers, but its involvement in World War II saw the destruction of nearly its entire fleet battle force - particularly the carriers. From a report: The flight involving the Japanese aircraft carrier Izumo and American F-35B fighter jets marked the first time Japan has operated an aircraft carrier since 1945. The United States Marine Corps and Japan's Maritime Self Defense Force made history last month with an epic flight that relaunched Japan's carrier aviation program.
