My primary concern is missile launches towards US bases in SK and Japan - specifically ones with nuclear warheads on them. I assume a viable deterrent is in place, but have not heard much about it.

Japan had nothing for several years, but eventually the US decided it wanted help from Japan as a counterbalance to China, NK, etc. and now they have a very modern Self Defense Force, which is only supposed to be for Defense. However, the last time I looked at Japan's defense budget, it was in the top 10.
