Abe's unfinished business is getting sorted

After the assassination and upper house election, parties hoping to amend Article 9 of the Japanese constitution are now taking up over 2/3 of the upper house of the Japanese parliament. Japan is inching closer to re-establishing a true military. Over the past few days, PM Kishida has also announced that Japan is putting more nuclear reactors back online, raising defense spending to 2% of GDP and reaffirmed commitment to revise article 9 to explicitly state Japan's rights to military capabilities
Japan is clearly moving towards reasserting itself as a global military power. What does that mean for weapons technology? What does that mean for the US-Japan alliance, and indeed, Japan as an MNNA?

Of course they are.

Nippon Kaigi still exists and is more or less in power even without him, he was just a very important member.

Type 64 and Type 89 parts kits plz

>muh nippon kaigi
Nippon kaigi as major force is a midwit take. It's a club for conservative politicians. Nobody in Japan really knows or cares about nippon kaigi, but for some reason all these people in America and Europe think they know more than Japs do about their own political system.

do want

>What does that mean for the US-Japan alliance

The US will fully support any Japanese endeavour to increase the strength of the JSDF. It relieves the US of their military obligations to Japan and bolsters the overall power of western aligned forces in the region.

>be China
>celebrate Abe’s death
>his party ends up getting a supermajority and now moves to increase defense spending

I think that is why Xi and other party officials were quick to give condolences despite the citizens largely not liking it.

Imagine being neighbour state to fucking China and not having a proper military lmao

>celebrate Abe’s death

More like orchestrate it.

Well, that and them all belonging to the Patrician class, and a very publicly visible wing of it too.

couldn't be me tbqh

Well, if true it's a massive own goal. It has been a shot in the arm for the liberal nationalist wing of Japanese politics

Abe gave his life so that the military reforms could get more popular support, why do you think the security was so lax?
He was a true hero and patriot.

All according to keikaku

It greatly strengthens it. The US wasn't entirely keen on Japanese disarmament even during the postwar occupation.

Wait - what

Yeah the US wants Japan to remilitarize

Yes I understand that, now


but the USA was not keen on Japan demilitarization after WW2?

LMAO is a staple of black twitter language. Not sure what you mean. It's the number one way to tell if someone on Any Forums is black.

lmfao

That guy is crazy wrong. The US wrote the post war Japanese constitution. Of course they wanted demilitarisation back then.

Hello, my black friend.

In the immediate aftermath it was. During the postwar occupation when it was clear Mao was going to whoop Chang, decidedly less so. Toward the end of the occupation period when Korea was sparking up, even less. Now we're very happy to see a strong Japan. Never underestimate the United States' commie allergy.

pic reminded me how fucking great Powerslave is

>uses twitter
>calling anyone a nigger
lmao

Notice I specified postwar occupation period, which extended a little further than 45/46.

Put down the crack pipe, Hunter.

While Japan becoming stronger militarily helps shore up the US coalition to contain China in the short term, in the long term it will weaken US influence over Japan, who is ultimately a competitor to the US in advanced manufacturing and services.

black people use emojis because they hate reading, you are retarded

>who is ultimately a competitor to the US in advanced manufacturing and services.

There was a time where Japan actually did make all of the world's electronics. That time passed as Japan's economy developed to the stage where its exports became too expensive. That's when China took over most of the things Japan did and Taiwan became the world's chip manufacturer.

Remember back in the day when the elite would do a human sacrifice whenever they kicked off a big plan? Weird, huh?

Last I checked the Japs still have one of the largest navies in the world. They've got a military, they're just not supposed to be using it for anything other than self defense. So China keeps pushing their luck knowing that so long as they don't directly trespass on Japanese territory they won't get any retaliation.

You're retarded user.

lol. LMAO

based Nippon+USA
greatest tsundere of all time
BUT
UK is unironically getting jealous and worried behind the scenes b/c in a collapse of global order UK & Japan will be in competition for neo-colonial raw resource extraction
so watch that diplomatic relationship

Won't get. Imports are done for.

>it will weaken U.S. influence in japan
No, it will increase it since the U.S. and Japan will have a more efficient/mutual cooperation with each other. The U.S. wanted japan to be rearmed because it will take a load off of their back and also encourage mutual defense cooperation rather than a one sided one. The defense treaty that japan has with the U.S. encourages mutual defenses.

Meant

sounds like Japan wants to be in NATO 2

OFN coming soon, boyos

A Japan that relies on the US for defence needs has less bargaining power with the US than one that does not, the same is also true of Europe.
The fact that the US now wants them to go back to having independent military power betrays their own decline in relative military dominance.
The US can no longer defend Japan against China, so this means that the US loses a lot of influence over Japan.

That's why you don't want to make martyrs

US-Japan-Australia-UK alliance in work. Possible extension to "5 eyes"?

When do they kick out the US military?

Japan will bomb Pearl Harbor again, just in case murricans thought that they were sorry

We rebuilt them and then we've been begging them to rearm ever since because of the threat of communism. Japan avoided Vietnam for example, unlike Australia, NZ, and South Korea.

Personally I think it's incredibly shortsighted and it just gives Japan more leeway to pursue an independent foreign policy that will not always be aligned with our interests.

What in the actual fuck is wrong with you kids these days

>we live in a timeline where the rising sun and the American flag might fight side by side with the Vietnamese to destroy China

What the fuck is this timeline CERN has rail hopped us onto?

Never Chang

professionals know the proper way is to disgrace a politician with manufactured scandals.

>Never
Japan has no foreign policy of is own. It doesn't need a expanded military then.

The US will never leave Japan, Chang. Just like china will never invade Taiwan, pussy

They have an awful neighborhood. China, Russia and North Korea are all right there.

You have to be 18 to post here

All as planned. It was a military assassination.

Literally everyone hates China. Their "allies" of Russia and Pakistan are just a case of "enemy of my enemy"; the USSR told China multiple times that they would nuke them.
I doubt we will actually need to fight them in the conventional sense, turn on the TV. China is beginning to have a financial crisis rn that is spreading like wildfire

Excellent bait of very young user

Wrong. So very wrong. The Philippines and Malaysia would rather have China on their side than the US.

>The Philippines
you're retarded

Philippines hates the US, and rightfully so. China is anti-western imperialism.

no more (you)s retard, use google or go back to Philippines are top 3 countries for US favorability

hang yourself retard

That's not even remotely true. The US committed genocide against the Philippine population not once but three times. The US will never find an ally there. Ever.

54412127
The Philippines is literally one of the most pro-US countries on the entire planet lol.

>Abe's LDP party was still facing major resistance in their attempt to revise article 9.
>Abe has been suffering major chronic ulcerative colitis for the longest time. It was a major factor of him resigning his position as the prime minister. Apparently when it flares up, he literally can't even walk, sit or even speak. And the frequency of these flare up has steadily increased in recent years.
>The assassin is an ex-JMSDF member.
>As soon as the news of Abe's death is public, LDP scores major win in the election, and literally 90% of the roadblock for amending article 9 crumbles away.

Could this been a final ruse by Abe? Killing yourself just for achieving your political goal might seem crazy drastic. But this is Japan we're talking about, they kill themselves over tiniest things.

Big if true

The US and Turkey needs to pressure on Indonesia to recognize Kosovo. Many of its immediate neighbors recognize it but they don't.

Indonesia is less affected by Russian and Chinese pressure then Malaysia, Bangladesh and Pakistan, yet Indonesians decided to go out of their way to cuck to their pressure.

>raising defense spending to 2% of GDP
They have the second most powerful navy in the world and they’re not even at 2% GSP? Mama Mia.

>Abe's family immediately invites vice president of Taiwan to join the funeral service without skipping a beat.
>Diplomatic visa for officials of this caliber that normally requires at least weeks, was issued literally overnight.
>China threw hissy fit as expected. While Japan and Taiwan remain mostly silent.

I'm no foil head but this is sus as fuck.
