Is Japan's largest military build-up aimed to counter China and N.Korea? | Oneindia News *Explainer

One of the most pacifist nations of the world Japan has announced it will embark on a military build-up of humongous proportions. It has announced that it will allocate 320 billion dollars that would arm it with missiles capable of striking China… and ready it for a sustained conflict as regional tensions and Russia's Ukraine invasion stoke war fears. In this video, we decode what made Japan re-think it’s policy on militarization and show of force. And what would this departure from its long-held belief of only limitiing military infrastructure for self-defence mean? But before that, don’t forget to like, share and subscribe to Oneindia.

With THAT amount of money invested in defense spending, I predict Japan is going to be virtually a massive defense blockade wall for most of the Pacific from the threat of either invasion or nuclear strike from either Russia, China or North Korea!

I can already see the Japanese military establishing and fortifying all the islands from Sakishima to Hokkaido facing all nations across the Sea of Japan with the following: anti-aircraft and anti-warhead radar and defenses; naval bases backed by land-and-air-based counter-defensive vehicles and ICBMs; fleets of submarines, destroyers and aircraft carriers patrolling the Sea of Japan with their focus spanning from the southern tip of South Korea to Sakhalin Island; aerial bases with Joint Strike Fighters and radar-guided missile outposts; emergency networks set up to evacuate civilians to Japan's western half; blockades for any export shipping from North Korea, China and Russia to Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand; biochemical weaponry to hit selected pivotal ports and military targets on the Asian coast if ANY part of Japan is hit... I hope this island nation I love so much can prove far more formidable than it was during WWII! And let's not forget how the US will have to provide additional financial, technological, troop and weaponized aid to any American military bases already established on Okinawa!

Japan will be Asian Super Power by 2050 especially in term of military.
