Losing the UK's Royal Navy, special forces, and nuke force due to Brexit was also a strategic mistake, due to peacetime conplacency. It would have made more sense to be a bit more flexible with Britain.

Lets say Japan's population keeps falling. It should be remembered that the demographic pyramid will be inverted, with mostly old people. In that case there would not be enough military aged persons to run an effective military. AI and

Its worth mentioning that renote work is still a thing only in the US. In most other OECD countries (in Europe or Japan for example) it's all in-office with at most 1-2 days hybrid if you are lucky.
