Shinzo Abe's Promise

The prime minister for Japan, Shinzo Abe, has promised to "deal" with North Korea. The article explained that polls have suggested that Abe will win the election- which is why he decided to make this remark. Japan has constantly claimed that they have a military for defense purposes only, however, based on Abe's comment it seems he would want to change the rule a little. The "dealing" with North Korea was something Shinzo used during his campaign- and now that the polls suggest that he will be taking the seat he wishes to accomplish what he promised. In the article he stated, "For that, strong diplomacy is required.". As he continued to mention that he is going to attempt to get more people on board with his decision.  If he is able to carry out what he is promising, there can be potential of the U.S. having some sort of part in Abe's plan to take care of North Korea.
