Detaching itself from the horrendous memories of a nuclear explosion 77 years ago and mull-ing to bury its pacifist constitution behind it, Japan is getting ready to be armed from top to bottom to take head on three neighbour-ing nuclear-power nations at the same time.
Since the Ukraine war started in February this year by nuclear-powered Russia, Japan has been courting big-time defence spend-ers while adopting an unprece-dented level of economic sanct-ions against its maritime neigh-bour, which are also aimed at its communist neighbour China and Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s re-calcitrant leader.
With the ruling Liberal Demo-cratic Party (LDP) enjoying consi-derable clout in society and a two-thirds majority in both houses of the Diet, it may institute changes to Japan’s pacifist constitution and turn the country’s Self-Defence Forces into a full-fledged military. It’s just a matter of time.
The makeover will suit Ja-pan’s new level of aggression, the only country to ever be attacked with atomic weapons, and its in-creased role in Asia’s security.
“The government of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also imposed an unprecedented level of economic sanctions against Russia.”
