Japan is rapidly expanding their military, building new warships and guided missiles, and the reasons given are increased threats from China and North Korea. That’s true, but only partly.
When World War II ended and Japan surrendered, they drew up a new constitution forbidding them from ever going to war as an act of conquest again. It does not prevent them from having a defensive force, however, and we made a pact to protect them in the future, which is why we still have a big military base on the island of Okinawa.
But with the Obama-run cabal now busily destroying our economy and degrading our military capability, Japan is rushing to restore their own. That’s the other part of the truth.
Japan is a fiercely nationalist country that is finding itself allied to a fading conqueror for protection, and I can’t help wondering if birds of a feather will eventually flock together, to paraphrase an old saying. The Japanese are Chinese in origin, Globalism is on the march, and it’s getting pretty hard to tell which side the USA is on now, East or West.
I can see a possibility of the Japanese abandoning us and joining with China and Russia. They have mutual territorial disputes so they’d need to iron out those disagreements, but if Japan can build up a really dangerous military first, they should have no problem at the bargaining table.
The Japanese are a treacherous, savage people who have always called Westerners “barbarians” while in truth they’re far more barbarous. Just read about the “Rape of Nanking” and what they did to prisoners of war, if you doubt that. They’re the ones who launched the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and killed about 3000 mostly sailors and airmen in a blatant act of treachery. They would do it again. They would be happy to turn against their conquerors. Of course.
Make no mistake, it’s the East against the West in the battle for Globalist supremacy. Take nothing for granted including alliances as they’ll change as the winds of war do. Everyone wants to be on the winning side.
I’ll leave you with this last thought. Japan has the world’s largest supply of weapons grade Plutonium. They bought almost all of Russia’s supply when the Soviet Union collapsed. They had a “space exploration” venture that developed rockets that put satellites into orbit, rockets also easily capable of delivering atomic bombs anywhere in the world. Now they’re expanding their missile building. If you don’t think they have nuclear weapons, think again.
