Definitely more complex. After WW2 ended we gave them hundreds of millions to rebuild everything. The relationship we had allowed Japan to become the 2nd best economic in the world with a boom from 1950s-1970s. We are still required to support them in time of need as well due to the treaty. We have been huge partners supporting each other for over 75 years now which has allowed them to be who they are today most likely. Im sure a lot of our history together has a lot to do with their current views and stance right now. Who knows what it will take for them to change that, but clearly were not there yet.
