Japan's Kishida sends ritual offering to controversial Yasukuni Shrine

日 기시다, 총리 취임 후 첫 야스쿠니신사 공물 봉납

For the first time since taking office, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has sent a ritual offering to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine, a site viewed by Japan's neighbors, including both Koreas, as a glorification of the country's past militarism.
Japanese media report that Kishida sent a "masakaki" tree on Sunday... for the start of the shrine's two-day autumn festival.
But to avoid raising raising diplomatic tensions further, Kishida is not expected to go to the shrine in person.
The shrine honors Japan's war dead, including 14 Class A war criminals, so visits there are highly provocative.
The last sitting Japanese prime minister to visit was Shinzo Abe in December 2013.

Imagine If Germany were the ones who had a shrine with criminals

Yaskuni has class A war criminals. Another reason why S Korea must be armed with tactical nuclear weapons to control japenis. Washington is also upset with Yaskuni existence.

This is all USA fault, 'cause If they did in Japan the same they did in Germany and not the opposite, this all would never happen.

Okinawa was destroyed in 1879 by the invasion of mainland Japanese pirates. In fact, most of the residents of Okinawa were Korean and Chinese. After World War II, independence was demanded, but the United States recognized it as a land of Japan in 1975, dampening the desire of Okinawa residents for independence. Mainland Japan also treats Okinawa people as second-class citizens and colonists. However, it is fortunate that forces wishing for independence of Okinawa have recently requested the presence of Korean troops in Okinawa, and that there has been a movement to establish an extraordinary government in Korea or China.

Japan sinks into the Pacific Ocean within seven years due to an underground magma eruption. Therefore, the way we live is to move to another country. In Korea or Southeast Asia, Japanese people hostile the Japanese due to slaughter and exploitation during the militaristic period, making it impossible to move. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for a great escape by purchasing European or African lands where Japanese ancestors did not commit atrocities.
