Since the Greater East Asia War (WWII) in 1945, Japan's national defense has been despised.
In the first place, Article 9 of the current Constitution of Japan, which was formulated by MacArthur, the commander of the occupation army at that time, is as follows.
1 The Japanese people sincerely seek international peace based on justice and order, and the war in which national rights are exercised and the threat or use of force by force are permanently abandoned as a means of resolving international disputes. do.
2 In order to achieve the purpose of the preceding paragraph, the
Army, Navy, Air Force and other forces do not hold this. The state's right to engage does not recognize this.
No matter how I read it, it doesn't say that the current Self-Defense Forces can exist.
This is the premise of the Constitution
"The Japanese people are deeply aware of the noble ideals that govern human relations, wishing for lasting peace, and trusting in the justice and faith of peace-loving nations, our security and survival. We want to occupy a prestigious position in the international community, which strives to maintain peace and remove tyranny and servitude, oppression and narrowness from the earth forever. "
Because it is described.
How do China, North Korea, and Russia around Japan look like peace-loving nations?
Surprisingly, they are determined to trust a nation like the yakuza to
stay safe and alive.
In keeping with this spirit, until now, under Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida's "rich country light armament," the national economy, that is, the lives of the people, has been the first priority.
Of course, in the defenseless state, it is unknown when the surroundings will be attacked and invaded. Japan has maintained its deterrence by relying on the world's strongest US military, surrendering land and continuing to pay. The current Japan-US alliance is the result.
However, the recent security environment has changed significantly due to the rise of China.
China, which has one of the largest territories and populations in the world and is still imperial in its mind, began to expand despite the existence of the United States and began to occupy the territories and territorial waters of neighboring countries.
Of course, Japan is no exception. Chinese fishing boats and armed coast guards have invaded the territorial waters of the southwestern sea, including the Senkaku Islands, and Okinawa has already begun to claim that it belongs to China.
If the current situation continues, a conflict with China will be inevitable.
Relying on another country for the defense of one's own country is extremely dangerous.
Looking at past examples, there are many countries that depend on other countries without force and are overrun without doing anything.
Being overrun or dominated by China means that at worst it will be like Uighur or Tibet.
Japanese culture will be destroyed, human rights will be deprived, and human dignity will be lost.
The Self-Defense Forces, which have continued to rely on the United States and have developed their defense capabilities by deceiving, are already tattered.
I can't tell you the details, but it would be impossible to protect Japan from China as it is now.
So far, Japan has allocated a lot of financial resources to the lives of its people. It may be too late now if the defense budget is not on par with other countries.
By the way, Japan's defense spending is 1% of GDP,
Russia 4.2%, US 3.75%, South Korea 3%, India 2.9%, UK 2.25%, France 2%, China 1.75% * Actually, it is tripled and Germany 1.4%.
At least it should be on par with France.
