Protests against US military presence in Okinawa passed in Japan

A wave of protests swept through the cities of Japan against plans to open another American military base. We are talking about agreements between Tokyo and Washington to build a base in Henoko (Okinawa, Japan). Thousands of local residents took to the streets of the settlements of Okinawa, who called on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who had begun his visit to the United States, to convey to the American President the Japanese’s discontent with the US military presence in their country.

Chinese agency Xinhua quoted one of the organizers of the rally:

After World War II, the American government requisitioned many territories, and now there are already many US bases in Okinawa. Okinawa Japanese will not accept construction of a new base. We hope to demonstrate our intentions with the help of a demonstration, and through Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is currently visiting the US, hand over to the American government that the Japanese people and the people of Okinawa strongly oppose the construction of a new American military base in Henoko.

We are talking about the possible transfer of the American military base of Futem from the city of Ginowan (Okinawa) to Henoko. According to Japanese media reports, the Prime Minister of the Land of the Rising Sun, a few days before his visit to the United States, announced to the Governor of Okinawa about the "proposal" to Washington to transfer the military base to Henoko and expand it. It should be noted that residents of the city of Ginowan repeatedly sent petitions to the governor and the prime minister with the request to close the Futem military base, as the US military often behave in an inappropriate way in the city, causing inconvenience to local residents. However, Shinzo Abe, apparently, can not afford to close the American base, and therefore is looking for a way out of its transference.

By the way, Okinawa Governor Takeshi Onago replied to the prime minister with a refusal of the proposal to transfer and consolidate the base, as he believes that the "transfer" is only an excuse to increase the volume of American military presence on the islands. Now Mr. Abe will have to explain himself in Washington and look for another solution. Or simply to put pressure on the residents of Okinawa, declaring a certain threat from which the Americans “will save” those ...

As long as I remember, and this is a long period, such protests periodically take place there. Yes, that's just the Americans on this with a high bell tower ...

In 1945, it means that the Americans "defeated" everyone, and now they are occupying all the defeated?

Do not protest - it is necessary to drive! Foul broom! Let the bases be deployed in America - there are many places. Yes, and they will be more whole. They Americans never heard about chess - in particular, about a checkmate with two rooks? Extremely elegant and effective thing, when heavy figures are motivated by the devil knows where, and the king is without protection. Two good hits - and that’s it, party. The rest of the figures as if to nothing ...

Duty protests on the American schedule. Something there is no information about Fokushima from the American nuclear power plant. It slipped through that someone had brought the land contaminated with radiation from there to the government building. And it was necessary to the American embassy. Or move their embassy to Hiroshima

[Thunderbolt]

And the protests do not affect the military alliance of the United States and Japan. And the strengthening of China rallies their armies and fleets even more. Although the whole island goes to a demonstration, the interests of big politics will prevail anyway.

As I agree with you. Protests of sane people take place both in Europe and in America. But who will listen to them?! (Rhetorically.)

And the reason is extremely simple. The complete absence of the very actively propagated democracy both in penguinostan and in Japan and other Western countries. It fulfills the requirements of a small group with power or money. The rest have long been a dark forest. They were all pissed at for a long time!

[Giant thought]

Since the end of the 50's, the Japanese have been protesting against the presence of Americans in Okinawa, and as they were there, they are, and they put a large device on all these performances by the local population.

[pts-m]

soon the islands of Japan will drown in the abyss of the Pacific Ocean, unable to withstand overload from military bases sshyshia.Well ... not knowing the laws of history, does not relieve responsibility to the universe ...

[sever.56]

Well, they came out, woke up, but what's the point? With such a policy, the Japanese government, let them rejoice that they have not yet set up the American administration, as in September 1945.

How do we know we didn’t put it? commands can be given from the Pentagon, it’s not necessary to be in Japan for this

Japanese land is not enough for living. There is nothing to rave the Kuril Islands. Drive the Americans out of the bases and you will have land. Another million. and even a couple will be able to accommodate

[phases]

Wow, and I thought that they were fooled to the impossibility of this plan. After the end of World War II, the United States essentially took Japan under its absolute control with all the ensuing in the form of ideological processing (which was and is being conducted in all countries), the closure of military factories and educational institutions, total control and the ban on the possibility of having your own army (which was nevertheless formed in 2 under the name of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces) The presence of US military bases in Japan is not due to the hot Japanese love for America, but to the fact that it is banal hell

[ia-ai00]

Amerikosy strive to bend the whole WORLD, everywhere they launch their CLARKS.
Rulers of countries are either bought or intimidated.

The American government wanted to sneeze at your objection.
Mr. Abe will be quickly reminded of the "Russia-China threat"

[A-Sim]

need more democracy.

[Same lech]

Drive the Americans out of the bases and you will have land.

yeah, these leeches are not so easy to drive out .... and then all of a sudden, after that, they will again want to carry out new tests of the atomic bomb somewhere above TOKYO with old memory.

[sanja.grw]

Though protest, at least do not protest, but still have to live in the trough

[Averias]

And they say in Japan with tight land, there is little living space, pieces of land are recaptured from the sea-ocean. And here it is on you, ours with a brush .. The samurai lie, go down at the expense of a fellow countryman. And they moan about the Kuril Islands.

[Khagysh]

I would, in place of the Japanese, allocate places for bases where there were radioactive zones after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Nah! Better in the vicinity of Fukushima, there is fresh.

[andrew42]

If without emotions and settling scores, and if reasoning soberly, then the Japs should increase the American military presence, and not protest. I don’t know if the Americans pay for the deployment of the bases, but they certainly don’t exact it. China rushes like a tank, and if the Yankees abandon the Yamato Country to their fate, the Great Dragon will remember the Japanese all their "exploits" in full, sophisticated, cruel and stretching the pleasure of historical revenge. The Chinese never forget anything. And the Japs exchanged samurai for American "rescuers". Woe to the unreasonable.

[F.Vastag]

A bunch of Luzhu - all these Japanese protests against the US military bases, and in fact the complete occupation of Japan by America (they will make some noise for the sake of form and disperse). In order to be freed from the States, Japan needs a Guerrilla War of Independence (as in the territories of the Union occupied by the Nazis in the Second World War), but the Japanese are not capable of THIS (the Americans broke their Spirit and Will to Resistance (as by the way, the South Koreans), leaving only the opportunity: and Wed..t - Consume (making the former Samurai Infantile Consumers), as well as the opportunity to Work for the USA (American Economy). So all these Protests are as an opportunity for Yapam to go out and say: "I'm Not Afraid" - said the Mouse (Japan ) ELEPHANT (USA) !!!

[udincev]

Shinzo Abe, apparently, can not afford to close the American base, and therefore seeks a way out in its transfer

there is an exit:
move the base to Hiroshima or Nagasaki - there probably aren’t used to that

US military often misbehaves in the city

or to beg Washington to move it to the Baltics - there it is as if the residents are not yet accustomed to the "inappropriate image" (there have been few teachings yet), and those in power are waiting with open arms.
Where then, at the request of citizens, those in power will be asked to transfer the bases — their problems!

[sl3]

Drive these tvreys into the neck. Where they are, there is blood.

[34 region]

The population of Japan is comparable to the Russian. And so many citizens are guarded by a small police or military contingent. There are police stations in Europe. It turns out such protests are hitting power. Well, what kind of power will it tolerate? Here in Ukraine there was a bloody demonic regime that peaceful protesters peacefully showered with Molotov cocktails.

[not Russian]

The leader didn’t get enough of them. Let the Ukrainians go for experience

[old pioneer]

Japan lost the war and, by virtue of its mentality, admitted it with dignity. I do not in any way justify Japan's actions in World War II, but neither Soviet propaganda, nor Soviet history textbooks in any way portrayed peoples and nations as enemies. The enemy was Capitalism, Fascism, Imperialism in the then sense of the word, ie the conquest of peoples and territories. My first impressions of Japan were inspired by the film "Seven Samurai", which I watched as a child. So, if I correctly sensed the mentality of Japan through this film, then with the death of the last veteran - a Japanese, a witness to the surrender, this nation will no longer consider it a matter of honor to comply with all the conditions signed then. Hiroshima and Nagasaki will still haunt "partners to winners".

[Abbra]

Yes, you throw them in FIG from Okinawa! Remember, for example, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

[ksv1973]

Yes, America wanted to sneeze at your protests, gentlemen, the Japanese! As well as the protests of all other nations!
And you, Japan, are 70 years old almost like Hiroshima and Nagasaka staged, and if you resist, the United States will once again throw some "pod". They won't see what a faithful ally she was ...

[iouris]

If Japan is not ready to fight the United States, then they do not care about the protests of the inhabitants of the occupied country.

[INF]

I would, in their place, even in a dream, recall the dropped bombs.

[F.Vastag]

The Americans Made them (the Japanese) Mass Brain LOBOTOMY (of the entire Nation), so that "in the Dream" these descendants of degenerate samurai remember only how "the USSR bombed their cities with Atomic Bombs" (just as the Master (States) ordered-inspired so and " think "- even in a Dream)

[koksalek]

Yes mattresses these protests are like a dead poultice, before you had to worry

[pvv113]

Futam’s military base is closed, as the US military often behaves in the city in an inappropriate manner, causing inconvenience to local residents

In fact, the Yankees cause "inconvenience" all over the world

[Olga Samoilova]

Yes, yes, only Americans can save the Japanese from Godzilla, and then save the whole world from the Japanese :)))

[Roman 11]

Japan protests against US military presence Compare this to slaves ....... as in the film Pirates, Polansky - the sailors who became bogged down began to demand: ...... we are tired of flogging, respect our rights!

[Wolka]

for the samurai there is one way out of the situation and to drive the Yankees out of their territory, this is to repeat Pearl Harbor ... with the hands of the Chinese

[Roman 11]

Quote: Volka

for the samurai there is one way out of the situation and to drive the Yankees out of their territory, this is to repeat Pearl Harbor ... with the hands of the Chinese

There are ways out, for example, to make the action much more dangerous than Pearl Harbor ....... if not to say deadly - in the markets in the "dark" to sell green stuff and lower the quotes of Treasuries and American companies - a methodical, gradual decline will force the Fed to throw it into the markets, to support the new interventions of green stuff, and they are already oversaturated with them. But the Japs have long lost the spirit of the samurai and resigned themselves to the role of slaves, with all this continuing to mumble ...... we are tired of flogging, respect our rights!
