The countries are ganging up on the United States as the Nations grow tired of the American Empire. When this country had money, it could dictate the terms of its relationships with other sovereign Nation States. However, now that our country is beyond broke, many Nations are reviewing and revising their respective American relationships.
Japan is one such country. The country's new incoming government is against globalization and this runs counter to the current interests of the United States. As a result, the new Tokyo government threatens to end a U.S. military refueling agreement in the Afghanistan war. Tokyo's current leader has also blamed the world's economic woes on the United States.

Yukio Hatoyama, the leader of the Democratic Party of Japan, has caused alarm in Washington after publishing an article blaming the US for the ills of capitalism, the global economy and "the destruction of human dignity".
He also intends to examine an agreement that permits US warships to dock at Japanese ports, in violation of the nation's non-nuclear principles. Mr Hatoyama says he will also look again at the $6 billion cost faced by Japan to transfer thousands of US troops from their base in Okinawa to the Pacific island of Guam amid a wide-ranging review of the American military presence on Japanese soil.
