You know what I mean. Defensive as in weapons used to take down missiles. The iron dome for example. The west is providing offensive weapons like tanks and guns. Humanitarian aid is also badly needed. Japan is a wealthy country, they can provide a lot in terms of humanitarian aid.

They probably will when it stops being so muddy.
