Oh man forget about these / that movie! As another aside, current really David Halberstam’s “The Next Century”, published in 1991, and his main focus in the book, after Eastern Europe, is Japan. All of this is laughable now (though some say Japan will be a superpower due to the military it’s built up to counter North Korea after NK falls), but makes you wonder, what threat do we all believe in now that will really turn out to be a paper tiger in the years ahead?
EDIT: quote from the book...”the Cold War is over, the Japanese won”
