    The JSDF is not the IJA. Japan has every right to defend herself.

    If Japan wants to recruit more people to the military, there needs to be a second season of Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri.
  • The next logical step is to restore power to the imperial household. Reviving traditions that kept Japan safe for centuries is a must.

    I wonder whether limited nuclear escalation by Russia against Ukraine would encourage or discourage public will for military expansion in Japan. I imagine it would be polarizing, but how evenly?

  • Being a Mexican-American with Native American blood. Allow me to respectfully please say that although my heritage is one of past slavery of the Indians especially in California with the Spaniards, we don’t forget but we also do NOT need to be constantly reminded of our history as we love to move forward here in US. I say all this to say that I’m sure leader of Japan Kashida does NOT appreciate the constant reminder of US dropping bomb on them in WW11. We are Allie’s and we have been fir many many years so when you give reference to Japan as a nation that is aligning themselves with US against China YOU need NOT also feel the need to also mention our negative past with them. To be blunt , you’re insulting the very essence of who they are and where they stand with us in the US do STOP!
  • Chinese power expansion is faster than the West 😂😂😂
  • WE NEED TO STATION OUR WMD TO HELP OUR FRIENDS WE LOVE JAPAN 🇯🇵 💪🏿💪🇺🇸 ❤🤍💙
