American Press: No Trace Remains of Japan's Pacifist Constitution

In the United States, they comment on the situation with the changes that have recently been adopted in the legislation of Japan. Mainly, we are talking about legislation in the field of defense and security. The American press states that "not a trace is left of Japan's pacifist constitution."

In the material published by Military.com, as an example, a trip by a delegation of the US Department of the Navy to Japan, during which the head of the department Carlos del Toro published a tweet depicting the Japanese aircraft carrier Izumo, is cited. In fact, Izumo is a helicopter carrier, which has been operated by the Japanese Navy since 2015 (in the Japanese version, the Navy is officially called the Naval Self-Defense Forces). It can also take off the fifth generation F-35B fighters, these tests were recently carried out by the Japanese and American military.

As the American publication writes, Japan has avoided the term "aircraft carrier" since the end of World War II. Today this term is used very actively in Tokyo. It is noted that the aircraft carrier itself (helicopter carrier) is extremely difficult to refer to naval equipment exclusively for self-defense.

Commenting on the appearance of offensive weapons in Japan, a US press observer draws attention to the fact that the self-defense forces themselves, as the Japanese army is officially called, is already difficult to call that way. The new Japanese constitution proclaims the creation of full-fledged land, air and naval forces.

From the material:

Japan has such "self-defense forces" that other countries would recognize as full-fledged armed forces. But its constitution always said that it was all purely for defense.

Now in the US press, in fact, that, in fact, the basic law of Japan has long stated a change in the country's military paradigm. The emergence of modern weapons and the reformatting of the army and fleet indicates that pacifism has dissolved. But there is an explanation for this. Supposedly this is the only way Japan can resist the militarization of China.

The American press states that "not a trace is left of Japan's pacifist constitution."

... Do not add, do not subtract.
The beast licked its wounds and until the moment when it wants to taste the blood of the victim / game there is ... but no one knows this yet, how much time is left.

[Orange bigg]

And there are many victims in the Far East for Japan? Russia, China, North Korea, South Korea cannot be called victims. Japanese themselves are afraid of the above countries, they all have serious armies and they frankly do not pull the role of victims.

[Shket53]

I don’t know about China, Southerners and Severyans .... but they’re clinking their teeth at Russia ... just look at the statements of all the last Japanese prime ministers

The Americans gave the command to face, so they clink.

Funny. Americans: "Oh, Japan is militarizing! And who gave her permission to do this? And who is helping her?"

American Press: No Trace Remains of Japan's Pacifist Constitution

And what worried the American press: a kind of "response" for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or the alleged struggle for the Kuril Islands?
Do not worry, overseas gentlemen-partners - this time we will try to figure it out on our own, just don't stick your nose into Far Eastern Russian affairs.

Vladimir Vladimirovich? Sergey Kozhugetovich? It is you?

[Ross xnumx]

Quote: Letun

Vladimir Vladimirovich? Sergey Kozhugetovich? It is you?

Are you getting smart? No, they are not. It's just that this is the voiced idea of ​​a citizen of Russia, whose job was to defend the Motherland. It is Vladimir Vladimirovich and Sergey Kuzhugetovich who rule today. Tomorrow Ivan Sergeevich and Nikolai Petrovich may come, and the direction of foreign policy will remain the same - “we don’t want an inch of foreign land, but we will not give up our own top either.”

[Andy]

Quote: ROSS 42

but we won't give up our top either. "

Are you talking about Damansky Island or the sea area given to Norway? I wonder what kind of Ivan Sergeevich and Nikolai Petrovich could have done this, for a certain gentleman has not been necessary for 21 years ...

"No trace of Japan's pacifist constitution left"

Russia now does not have enough forces and means to confront Japan in the Far East.
This means that any armed conflict between Russia and Japan will be nuclear.
There is no other way to calm down the samurai.
Another question is whether the United States will want to try the nuclear "pie" in this situation?

[novel66]

we are stronger on the shore

[Ross xnumx]

Quote: prior

Russia doesn't have enough strength now and funds to confront Japan in the Far East.

That is?そ れ は?
Like Japanese tanks will begin to plow the unpopulated lands of the Far East? It is unlikely that the matter will go beyond a regional conflict with a predictable outcome ... By the way, Japan still boasts that it has not signed a peace treaty with Russia (or is it worried?)

[Shket53]

About the Far East ... this is definitely too tough for the Yapas .... but those instigated by the Yankees can arrange a military provocation because of the so-called "northern territories" ... and if, at the same time, they trample on Kaliningrad ... . to be honest it will not be laughing

[Boa kaa]

Quote: Shket53

... and the psheki will trample on Kaliningrad .... to be honest, it will not be laughing

Crap! How terrible it has become to live ... (c)
And how will these people trample upon us in the KOR without NATO's consent?
And the Atlanticists (the Germans and the French) are not in line with the Feng Shui war with us.
Anglo-Saxons don't count.

[Shket53]

Hello ... just like the Yapas to the "northern territories" pushed by the Yankes, so these arrogant armed and provoked by the same gentlemen from behind a puddle ... and the Atlantists, as always, if something happens ... will throw up their hands ... and we have nothing to do with it .. It's not in vain that the Yankes are pumping guns with weapons Abrams bought, Patriots, and F-35 too ... well, with all this, the psheks are also asking for a discount on gas ... your God is wonderful. Sincerely

[Rusticolus]

By the way, Japan still boasts that it has not signed a peace treaty with Russia (or is it worried?)

Japan refuses to sign the peace treaty. Does not comply with the provisions of the act of surrender. The army did not lay down its arms.
Conclusion - it is necessary to repeat the nuclear bombing of fascist Japan, until complete and unconditional victory.

The Americans will fight their enemies (Russia and China) to the last Japanese soldier. Nothing new, hot coals by someone else's hands.

[Pavel73]

There is only one warning to the Japanese: if you live in a glass house, do not try to throw stones.

[novel66]

why is there an avik with a British flag in the picture?

[Volodin]

This is the flag of the Japanese Navy (Maritime Self-Defense Force)

[novel66]

the Japanese do not have blue

[Wedmak]

He means that this is the flag of the Japanese Empire.

[Volodin]

There is no blue there. This is just a "piece" of the rack in the photo looks like this

[tihonmarine]

Quote: novel xnumx

why is there an avik with a British flag in the picture?

Not by number he is Japan - JS Izumo-183, but maybe this is "a strategic disguise as a Brit.
JS Kaga -184 is officially a destroyer.

[rotmistr60]

No trace of Japan's pacifist constitution left

Whose mediation are Messrs. Americans?

[tihonmarine]

Supposedly, this is the only way Japan can resist the militarization of China.

By this, they once again remind that China has not forgotten what the Japanese invaders were doing from 1937 to 1945 on the territory of China. Only China is not the same now, and the army is not at all the same, and can give a good answer.

[Sayeret Matkal]

The Japanese are forced to respond to the aggression of China and its servants - Russia.
We are waiting for the second Russian-Japanese)))

That, dear, has completely shifted the brain from Russophobia.
Well, go ... get some medical treatment ... (although it's dear to you)
Then you can take Haloperidol on your own ... in order to calm your delirium at least for a while

[CommanderDIVA]

The buildup of military muscles by Japan is primarily associated with the confrontation between the United States and China, to a lesser extent the United States and North Korea, our number is ten here, our doctrine is of a defensive nature, and we will not quickly update the Pacific Fleet, so the Japanese have nothing to fear from our side, they would in general, it is necessary to make friends with us sharply in the form of various economic projects in order to remove the threat to oneself from the right flank

[Wedmak]

they really need to be friends with us

Judging by the rhetoric of the Japanese ministers, they will not be friends. Rather, they will try to occupy the islands on the sly.

[zwlad]

They do not need the islands as such, they need this problem to always remain.
It is easy to make a career in politics on its exploitation.

[Wedmak]

And it is just as easy to destroy her by not keeping her promises. True, not a single one who promised, even at the grave of his father, made a sepukku for his election deception. However ... what a sepukku is, the days of the samurai are long gone. Only prudent businessmen and politicians remained.

[pomor23]

Not without the help of "civilizers" from overseas.

[Zaurbek]

It is necessary to strengthen against China ... so they "unfrozen" Japan.

[75 Sergey]

The Japanese put a bolt on their Constitution.

[Zomanus]

Well, that's all right. The world is changing, the balance of forces in it is changing. Next to them are China, Russia, North Korea. And everything is clearly moving towards another war.
