The constitution clearly reflects the epoch in which it was written, a time when Japan had surrendered. This is why I and many Japanese nationalists are in support of the removal of amendments that limit Japan's ability to project power. The gutting of Article 9, as well as the amending of the military exports ban is an example of Japan's normalization.
Times' a changin', buddy.
But you have the impression that it is only Japan that is self limited by policies and other nations are as trying as hard as they can technologically, and that if Japan removes those self limits, it can effortlessly exceed other nations. Both premises are probably incorrect. Instead, evidence points to that Japan is, within the limits of its constitution, trying its hardest to circumvent it, and that other nations are being held back by some of their own policies (not of technology, of policy).
