Japan - The Fourth Reich

What a surprise.

The imperialist, “we’re so much better than you”, Japanese are looking to amend their constitution to allow them to wage war again. This comes despite the fact that they renounced such a thing “forever”.

They blame the Chinese, and the changing times in the region, as well as the need to protect national territories. In reality, six decades have passed, and Japan – cowed by the events of World War 2 – has regained its national arrogance and is ready to have another go.

Japan has never truly been a pacifist nation. It just said what it needed to say and projected the right image to make people think it had learned its lesson from the war. However, in the background, it was gradually rebuilding its army under the guise of a “self-defence force”. It sucked America’s dick and became its bitch in return for protection, while it built its economy and technology.

Now it’s ready to show its true colours again.

It’s like history repeating itself as Japan echoes what Germany did in the 1930s. It claims it needs to build an army for its own protection, just as the Nazis did. It intends to disregard treaties, just as the Nazis did. Japan is a country that thinks it is better than everyone else – often suggested as the reason their soldiers acted like such animals during the war, because they saw everyone else as a lower life form than they. Japan shows no respect for the laws or rights of other nations and individuals. Japan is, always has been, and always will be, an imperialist nation, intent on world domination through a combination of a strong economy and military might. But now, China has overtaken them as the world’s second biggest economy. This means Japan loses some of its financial clout, and can’t use as much economic bribery to persuade other governments to look the other way when it thumbs its nose at their citizens’ rights and their authorities requests for cooperation in prosecuting Japanese criminals.

So, when the economy starts to fall, Japan brings the military to bear. When the economy starts to fall, Japan is suddenly no longer a pacifist nation – not that it ever was.

Shinzo Abe is the new Adolf Hitler. He is fiercely nationalist, and it is no coincidence that he has come to power at this time.

Forget the Korean peninsula being the flashpoint in south-east Asia. It’s Japan. And with America behind it now instead of opposing it, Japan is like that div kid at school who’s acting hard because his big brother is standing nearby. You could equate Japan with King Joffrey in the Game of Thrones series. It is a cruel, nasty, heartless thing enabled by the threat of military action. It cares not a jot for anyone’s rights or feelings.

Japan is a nasty, vicious dog. It’s dangerous; and needs someone with a rolled-up newspaper to come along and smack its nose again.
