Original Note:
The note's claim is that the existing agreement is bilateral. This is misleading. According to the note's own source, the agreement only applies to attacks on the territory of Japan. It would not apply to an attack on US territory anywhere else. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Mutual_Cooperation_and_Security_between_the_United_States_and_Japan#:~:text=%22in%20the%20territories%20under%20the%20administration%20of%20Japan%22
