Sohu: Japan near the US has created a powerful army with the current ban

50

The Chinese edition of Sohu published an article in its military section stating that the United States has been "too trusting of Japan for over 70 years." The author of the article says that after the end of World War II, Japan steadily increased its military potential, creating a powerful army and navy, almost at hand near the United States, despite the fact that it is forbidden to have its own full-fledged armed forces in Tokyo.

The Chinese publication says that for Japan there is a ban on the existence of its own army de jure, but at the same time it has such a de facto. And this army is one of the most powerful in the Asia-Pacific region.



From the material:

In the event of a military conflict, Japan can easily arm about 5 million people. She has a modern weapons and military equipment.

Sohu noted that Japan is by no means an ally, but an adversary of the United States, but Washington is forgetting about it.

From the article:

We must not forget about Japanese ambitions, from which the Americans themselves at one time inherited.

It is recalled that Japan has an aircraft carrier fleet, modern warships, it continues to purchase American F-35 fighters.

From the article:

More importantly, Japan refused to sign an agreement banning the use of nuclear weapons: as the only country in storieswhich suffered from a nuclear strike, it still intends to develop nuclear weapons, which also proves that Japan’s ambitions have never faded. Japan relies on abundant nuclear energy technology and has a large amount of nuclear material. If they are enriched, then most likely nuclear weapons will be created.

    The United States has been “too trusting of Japan for over 70 years”
    Come on, gullible. They simply pretended not to notice anything. They are just armed Japan in the allies - very much at hand (and the fact that politically dzhapy are still under amers is hardly worth doubting). It’s like the Angles in the 45th, when they were in no hurry to disarm the surrendered German units, counting on a very quick war with the USSR.

      The Japanese army is created to confront Russia and China.

        Do not forget that Japan is a country occupied by the United States.
        On the territory of Japan there are large US military bases - these are military and civilian facilities (military bases, warehouses and other objects of the US military and civilian infrastructure) that are not controlled by the jurisdiction of Japan.
        The legal base for American military bases in Japan is the US-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, signed in 1960.

        In this case, the current generation of ordinary Japanese It was surprised that for these US bases in Japan, the United States does not pay rent to Japan, but rather - Japan pays for their stay in Japan, Washington!
        And while the Japanese believe what is most likely these are US military bases in Japan needed by the USA itself, since these bases they solve the strategic tasks of the USA against the Russian Federation and China, and after that they defend Japan.

        With all this, it is not surprising that the military power of the Japanese Armed Forces is growing - i.e. pro-American proxy countries in the Pacific region - with the connivance of the United States and with the escalation of nationalist-territorial claims of Japan itself to Russia.

        This is not the connivance of the Americans, it is with their permission and for sure with their money and their technologies, Japan has created its most powerful "Self-Defense Forces" in the region!
        And they were created not just like that, but really:

        Yes, no matter who they set him on, Japan has one most important vulnerability, it is a huge population density and infrastructure. A couple of massive hits and the damage will be colossal. Unlike the vast expanses of Russia, where everything is so scattered that sometimes they themselves can’t find it. (joke). In addition, there is nearby, there is one huge power that Japan does not like so much that it can not eat. At times exceeding the army and navy.

          Napoleon in the year 12 on drugs exceeded our army many times - and how did it end?
          The point is not the size of the armed forces, but their correspondence to the existing moment: weapons modern, personnel - trained, command staff educated, and history must abound in victories - without this, no army can win.
          So China has a very big strain just with the history of conquests, victories and defeats - well, this is not an imperial nation!

            Is Japan type big? The whole history of their conquests ended with the defeat in the Pacific Ocean, in Manchuria and the signing of a humiliating surrender. About the South Kuriles, they still whine, "conquerors". I agree, the Japanese were the winners, until they got in touch with the really cool guys, from whom they got the fuck out. In your opinion, can this be called a "victorious army"? Imperial, at least some. They sit locked on their islands, without resources and quietly nostalgic about the "great empire"

        The Japanese army itself could still be dealt with (although the Yapps are famous suicides Yes ), but the Americans here have excess bases ONLY to use the Japanese as cannon fodder in the event of a conflict in order to enter our Far East as a victorious occupant on their shoulders.

    In the Japanese constitution, there was a ban on the actions of self-defense forces abroad which they successfully overcame in 2016. The army in Japan was not banned. And what to call it an army or self-defense forces is not so important.

    Japan today is no longer a self-defense force, but one of the strongest armies in the world. In the event of a global conflict, this country will by no means be on the side of Russia. Therefore, we need to take into account its combat potential and have sufficient strength to repulse it. Japan was against us in 1905, during the Civil War, during World War II. And today she does not sign a peace treaty with us. Her position on Russia is frank. I think that it is quite clear that its Armed Forces are aimed today not only at our Kuril Islands, but also at other native Russian lands. hi

    China did not participate (due to US obstacles) in the signing of the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty with Japan, therefore, it has the right to start military operations with Japan at any time.

    The USSR refused to participate in the treaty because of the US refusal to include confirmation of the sovereignty of the USSR over South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands in the text, despite the corresponding decision of the Potsdam Conference of the Heads of the Anti-Hitler Coalition. The treaty included only a reference to Japan's abandonment of these territories.
