45,000 Japanese protesters rallied outside of parliament today, clashing with police and demanding that the government scrap plans to revise the legal status of the Japanese military to allow them to fight overseas in US-led wars.
Since 1945, Japan’s constitution has been explicitly pacifist, forbidding all overseas war-fighting. Polls show a solid majority, 54%-29%, oppose the legislation, and 68% want to see the bill delayed beyond the current session to allow more debate. It is widely expected to be voted on, and passed, later this week.
What will change? That’s not clear. The Abe government insists it will only allow “collective self-defense,” but military officials are bragging that “there is almost nothing we cannot do” that the US is liable to ask in overseas conflict under the new laws.
Some are concerned that the Abe government is underestimating how much the US is liable to ask for, however, and while Abe is couching it as something that will lead to a new round of war planning for a joint US-Japan war against China, officials concede that the US is probably in the long-run going to want Japan to join bigger overseas wars outside of Japan’s direct interest, like the ongoing ISIS war.
A nation that hasn’t fought wars in generations, the Japanese public isn’t likely to accept such deployments easily. Yet historically the Japanese government has used its constitution as an easy out for saying no to the US on such wars, and in getting rid of that, some worry they’ll face a backlash among US leaders if they resist America’s calls to join these wars.
ABE has intestinal cancer, and likely wears diapers it is reported.
Can an authorization to intern comfort women be far behind?
Being as how the Japanese birthrate is in steep decline and now thanks to 4 +years of constant fission and radioisotope released into their waters from three ongoing China syndromes at Fukushima , maybe it is just a ploy so that Japanese can bring back some healthy breeding stock for Japanese industrial needs.
Mutant children with birth defects are no way to build a future workforce And the surrounding ocean almost completely devoid of fish and life forms, the three squares and a roof over head and lots of easy targets to shoot at may sound pretty good in the very near future.
Japanese cultural of the old Samari and Bushido code has never gone away they merely replaced it with an industrialize society that used a militant mindset to indoctrinate generations into work is good for the nation and if you fail you let nation down.ey a
Market conquest planned with same military precision as in War and kept the
bowing and scraping to their betters, and even lionized and legalized the Yakutza orders of command to keep workers in line while washing their hands .
For Toyota to show its willingness to become part of militarization-Islamization in Middle East they needed to sale all that brand new Toyota trucks to ISIS via turkey, paid possibly by Saudis or GCC in advance and in cash where no one could track the sale. For WV to invest making cars in new markets the manufacturing giant needed cash from banks german banks were paid by the German government where people of Greece would be sacrificed and IMF would make billions. For USG starting, preparing the second pace of its militarizing the pacific they needed Japan as a strategically importance area to be on board, so as Australia and other nations in pacific, now put them together and look for puzzle to fit the current political aspects of the world economic situation, when China decrees the value of its currency and few weeks later the U.S dollars follows. So the idea in Japan becoming the new military force with more bases granted to US military regime, Japan hade to show its appreciation to Saudis-Wahhabis where Toyotas in hands of ISIS appeared in Iraq and Syria, Japan have allied itself with US militarization of the world is nothing new, Japan was involved in what they called "humanitarian approach" to Iraq war sending its military to "practice" in Iraq with military hospitals and etc. that was done for today's political and economical situations where Saudis are no longer considered as a oil producing giants nor their income from oil is enough to feed the Japan stock market or its real state investment in U.S.
Road to getting nuked again….. as Japan goes for the sword!
Japan has been preparing for quite a few years as Mitsubishi as lead of a co glomerate of Japans heaviest hitters has already began production of its own fighter aircraft and it is more of an extended range attack and not defensive weapon.
Under contract treaty US owns Okinawa which is in actuality a chain of Islands; Japan had long thought they were outside its surrender and were surprized when US began building short landing strips and flats for helicopters and our attack VTOL aircraft.
These include air defense and massive supply and main tenance, all supplied by UN Naval Floating cities complete with up to 20,000 sea based Marines with some 15,000 more to be on Islands.
Japan signed se urity treatys with Philippines for small arms and medium armored vehicles to be built by once again a whole consortium of Japans heavy Industry including Hyundai, Toshiba, Hitachi and others.
US firms like Westinhouse are actualy ownedby Japanese firms all under connecting boards to GE fiancial etc.
Japan is still trying to get S. KOREA into some form of Security agreement and has even promised to cut their industries in on selling to Philippnes and Vietnam.
Wars are not always began with fanfare but instead they are begun by people of low means whose passion is destruction and aftrr first searching for a big lie to feed their followers the launch the biggest lie of all; WAR IS PEACE.
