Japan plans to remilitarize at lightning speed

[Suika]

How many times China invade Taiwan? China only threaten ROC if they declare independence

Meanwhile how many countries has US invaded and bombed in last 30years? It sounds like its the truth that the US cut the balls off the japs and now they are either hikikomori or perverts sniffing used underwear. Can't even think with logic anymore.

No, the PRC and Xi says reunification will happen and its part of "national rejuvenation". The military posturing the PRC does towards Taiwan in recent years along with statements is not possible to downplay. PRC even made a mock capital city of Taipei in the middle of a desert in China to practice utban warfare there.

 

[Beny Karachun]

And US also bombed Japan twice.

Yeah what's your point

 

[beijingwalker]

The official name is as increasingly as pointless as the following:

Article 9. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.
In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.

Why some keep consuming old ideas is a mystery.

Old idea? Japanese constitution was written by Americans and you are their slave for 7 decades, this is how old is old. You tiny Japan with fast aging population wants to mess with China? even North Korea can wipe you off the face of the earth in an instant.

No, the PRC and Xi says teunification will happen and its part of "national rejuvenation". The military posturing the PRC does towards Taiwan in recent years along with statements is not possible. PRC even made a mock capital city of Taipei in the middle of a desert in China to practice utban warfare there.

It's China's domestic issue, what does it have to do with you?

Japan is using China as an excuse to shake off US yoke, it's US should really worry, Japan has been waiting for this opportunity for over half a century.

Japanese nationalism is rising but they don't see US as their enemy. It's for Japan to be effectively able to defend themselves in the current geopolitical scenario.
You might think that getting crushed and bombed would've lead to a angry populace but the American occupation was rather different and interesting. MacArthur's plan for Japan entailed the socio-economic development away from the military focused Japanese industry of the past. Also the Japanese expected very harsh treatment under the Americans but were surprised to see that wasn't the case( Japanese knew what they did in Manchuria and expected the same event). Also the Americans helped Japan to develop quickly after the war, Japan had a huge export market in the US and in turn US exported them their stuff.
Also Japanese American culture has sorta engrained together now, you can notice it in their lifestyle and stuff. Also Japan has a lot of softpower globally especially in the US in terms of Anime, video games and popular electronics.
America and Japan are allies compared to "regional partners" in case of India and America.

China.. what a disappointment. For those that wanted an alternative to the US, y'all should be cursing at China and their trolls for doing such a bad job because they blew that chance.

An alternative to US? god forbidden, US is an utterly failed state, why China wants to be an alternative for a failed state?

 

[Viet]

They deserve it for acting as a jerk and US proxy in Asia. Maybe, it has to face south Korea too.

You don’t understand. Nothing with US. The Japanese fear a chinese invasion. Much like me and my people in Vietnam.

We've been dealing with Japan for over a thousand years, we know their mentality so well, they still have hidden desire to revenge, you Indians don't know much about East Asians.

U.S. hails Japan's new security strategy as China lashes out over moves

Washington called Tokyo's revision of key security documents a "bold and historic step," while Beijing urged Japan to refrain from hyping the "China threat."

Please have some respect to Japan

They face a potential 3-front war: Russia, China and NK.

Here comes another delusional rant from a supposed Viet who's head must have been dropped kick when he was a baby.

Please show in what way is China even threatening Japan. What is the national imperative of China to do so? And don't just cite some vacuous western drivel; I would expect better from a supposed patriotic Vietnamese like yourself. Perhaps, you have just simply drank too much of the American napalm bomb when the USAF was busy dropping it all over during the Vietnam War that you have been thoroughly cucked by America.

China should stop making military threats on Taiwan.

You need to have your head examined since Japan has nothing to do with Taiwan.

Again, you're cherry picking reports and facts to suit your ignorant narrative, but the fact still remains that Taiwan is a part of China and Japan has no business butting on any of the core issues that affects China. I don't know if you're Japanese or some hentai/anime loving simp for Japan but you ought to read up on the subject matter (and not just watch some YouTube videos or read Wikipedia) to fully understand the sensitivity and importance of Taiwan to China and the legacy of Japan's brutality inflicted against China and other countries it invaded and equally brutalized in Asia.

China.. what a disappointment. For those that wanted an alternative to the US, y'all should be cursing at China and their trolls for doing such a bad job because they blew that chance.

Lol why don't you elucidate us the supposed failure of China as the alternative to the U.S. aren't you too premature and a little arrogant for a victory lap that has yet to be concluded? Or losers like you just simply love to bark so loudly that any news that drives western narrative automatically constitute as winning. Only monkeys do that.

Much respect for Japan.


Unlike some who inhabit this forum, I don't pretend to have any power or influence over governments.

It is however my desired wish that Japan armed itself to the teeth

 

[QinGua1949]

It's Only YOU, and No one else fears the magical invasion that's coming from China. Why the heck would we want to invade your country? For what purpose? Please do explain, and get in line with the Aussies because they too are apparently on the invasion list as well. Not to mention, there are some unhinged people tricked by the American supported NGO's, politicians, academicians, in the Philippines that spew the same line you wrote. For the Philippines and Australia, I can understand somewhat their concerns (even if it's laughably absurd) since the prevailing narrative is that China will conquer their countries to turn them as Commie countries. Vietnam is already a commie, so from that rationale why the f...would China even pretend to invade your country?

 

[RealNapster]

Might be a boon as curse;

For Japan to be free from US occupation,it needs more regal defense capabilities,but ,is Japan actually trying to reel off US occupation? idk and it doesn't seem to be for now.

But ,it's sure that a Japan overly dependent on US for military support,will never be sovereign state in proper sense.

Majority of what they planned for military built-up is direct purchases from US defence companies. It's not like with this spending Japan will finally be independent.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

I cant imagine US will let Japan develop nukes.

I can. It seems likely actually with the submarine launcher tubes.

Japan eyes buying up to 500 Tomahawk missiles from U.S., report says

U.S. President Joe Biden reportedly indicated that Japan was “a high priority” buyer for the weapons and emphasized his intention to steadily proceed with the possible sale.

The US Navy sought funding for an updated submarine launched nuclear Tomahawk cruise missile. However the Defense Department considered it redundant for the US given its other capabilities...so nixed it.

Report to Congress on Sea-launched Nuclear Cruise Missile - USNI News

The following is the April 25, 2022, Congressional Research Service In Focus report, Nuclear-Armed Sea-Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM-N). From the report In its FY2023 budget request, the Navy eliminated funding for research and development into a new nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile...

Now they are suddenly handing Japan 500 submarine launched Tomahawk cruise missiles...I wonder why.
