Japanese rally against government's intention of military expansion

For more:

The Japanese government, on December 16, decided to update three security and defense-related documents, including the National Security Strategy. According to the documents, Japan will acquire the capability to directly attack another country's territory in an emergency, so-called "enemy base strike capabilities." Hundreds of Japanese residents protested against the government's intentions to increase defense spending and against constitutional amendments and wars.

Japan government: like Ukraine, we just follow orders from our master

[Wintry_Jasmine]

The Japan govt should have kicked the US largest military base out of Japan soil.

[lillylee]

Not just Japan, the whole world needs to learn to live in peace . Stealing, robbing, threatenings, sanctions n wars are never long term solutions

[morningstararun]

Meanwhile Japanese leaders : We are awaiting orders from our masters, on what to eat for next meal.

77 years later, Japan and Germany are again expanding their military.

People's opinion doesn't matter much in Japan so this movement has to become wide-spread across the whole of Japan for the gov to even take notice of it. Or at least stop pretending those people do not exist.

Well…sinner always seek war. Wars are always in their blood

Only the older generation knows the government is on the wrong track.

In accordance to the Unconditional Surrender of Japan Treaty (USJT), Japan is a semi-autonomous colony of USA at best, a vassal State of the USA at worst. Japan’s politic is a window dressing. Behind the mirror the USA runs the show. USA has the right to build and install military bases in Japan after issuing a courtesy notice to the Japanese PM, hence, the multitude of US military bases in Japan. Whereas the USA pays a substantial rent for Clark and Subic military bases, the USA pays nearly nothing for the huge Kaden (sic) base in Okinawa, courtesy of the USJT. Japan pays tribute to USA by buying $1.2 trillion USD worth of U.S. debt — essentially, the Japanese working class is forced to finance US debt. USA uses Japan as a forward military outpost to monitor, supply, and launch military operations in the Far East— Japan is USA’s unsinkable aircraft carrier stationed next to China and Russia. During the Korean and Vietnam War as well as today, a task force from the US 7th Fleet operates from Yokohama. Under General McArthur’s watch the defeated Japan swallowed its pride and accepted the Japan Constitution written by the USA. In particular McArthur bolted down the Pacifist Provisions into the Japan Constitution to ensure Japan will never be a military threat in the Far East and Pacific. Time has rearranged the chess pieces in the world. China has re-emerged as the primary economic engine of the world and is set to dethrone the USA as the world’s number one economy by 2025. The USA hegemony has orchestrated a plan to keep China as the 2nd fiddler: first, impose tariff followed by severe economic sanctions; secondly, unleash covert operations using unconventional weapons inside China so as to sabotage the economy; finally, provoke China into a war. The latter will require Japan’s military operation in China. The USA is working diligently the elimination of the Pacific Provisions. THAAD is already installed and fully operational in Japan.

as long as its the US pulling the string behind Japan's military expansion, no croaks from Japanese citizen could budge their government's decision
