If the USA liked Asia so much, Japan would be in NATO considering how much they've waggled their tails after being brutally nuked, twice.
The U.S already has a defense treaty with Japan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Mutual_Cooperation_and_Security_between_the_United_States_and_Japan
"Article 5 commits the United States to defend Japan if it is attacked by a third party. "
Given your profile, yea your comment checks out.
It isn't NATO, it doesn't have anywhere near the same impact.
