Under an agreement made at the end of WW2, US will have to step in. What US news is really not focusing on are the insane amount of resources found off the islands, all the way up to the disputed islands with Russia. This is all relatively new news.
US will definitely and with great force assist Japan as US wants to partner with Japan to drill for the riches. The sovereignty issue is more diplomatic cover than anything else.
Japan has technology for the drilling. Does not have manpower resources. What we are seeing is China and US fighting over partner status. Taipei just wants a taste. You know, lil bit.
Most Americans, most westerners for that matter are only exposed to "Mass-Gomi" - What Japanese call the bought and paid for media groups, like FUJI TV, within Japan. Usually very pro Korea or China. Real Japanese are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to keep the islands, the resources and get rid of the "Mass-Gomi."
