As much as it sounds that way from an uninformed perspective, this isn't in any way their fault this time around. You can blame the rich dudes in your own country, for having created an imperial system predicated on debt- indebting other countries to their dollar, forcing countries to use their dollar for trade (often at gunpoint- literally, many nations have been destroyed by the US with maintaining this as one of the primary objectives), exporting the dollar as inflation, coercing countries into this system of essentially subsidizing the US and storing their capital (not wealth, capital) in the US (or else- for instance the understanding with the Sauds before they had options, with Japan as well no doubt, was a genuine "or else you're dead)...

Believe it or not, in this case, Japan (and the rest of the world) has been the victim here, not the US (the US working class is absolutely the victims of their leaders for this situation, however). In this context the Japanese ruling class are not "ruining your life"- they are literally taking actions to prevent the burden, that the US has imposed on them and their country ever since the end of WW2 and American occupation, from ruining their lives and economies any further.
