Japan isn't that much "Falling out with the west". It's the "US" that is falling out with everyone else. 4:40 Wow, that's how American talk about such a staunch ally? If that's a friend, I'd cut tie with them right away.
EU and Japan are not allies. They are neo-colonies. USA always made unfair deals and exploited everyone. They can keep printing money, because as reserve currency, the rest of the world has to pay the value destruction of the printing.
??? Did you watch the video. This guys is the CEO of a direct rival of Nippon Steal. They even want to take over the same company. Of course he portrays the japanese as evil
Frankly they're acting more and more like China - as bullies. They need to humble down a bit, especially considering their nation is on life support solely due to them wanting to have a big stick.
And what have our "allies" ever done for us? Scores of Americans are buried across Europe and Asia. It is everyone else who must stop antagonizing the U.S.
True to that, but its not inly that but it is made worse by psyops and misdirecting people from message kf the words, example is Greenland psyop'd because they thoight greenland was in favour but weren't
For viewers unfamiliar with Ishiba, he’s been advocating military self reliance for ever 2 decades, and he now demands Japanese military to be stationed in the United States to resemble an equal alliance
That's BS. Japan's military is focused on their East Asia location. Japanese military personnel do come to the USA for training/joint training with USA military, but not to establish bases. I could see base sharing on Guam, the new facilities on Battan (with Philippines approval) or other Pacific Islands, but not on 'mainland' USA soil.
One of the potential fallout you haven’t mentioned is reducing US Marine Corps presence in Okinawa, which has always been a flash point between the local residents, Tokyo, and US.
@@LudwigVanBeethoven17 Japan has, within the last 100 years, conquered Russian, Chinese and Korean territory. "Saved their asses" is a stretch. Japan's not allowed to have a real military after WWII, but if they did have one everyone in the vicinity would fear them.
In comparison to the US, cooperation between Germany and Japan has probably never been higher, with the start of joined cabinet meatings under Scholz and Kishida.
I am Japanese, but I can understand why Americans do not like the acquisition of US Steel by Nippon Steel. When I heard that Nissan was about to be acquired by a Taiwanese company, I honestly did not like it, even though Taiwan is an important friend of ours. I guess their feeling is similar to that. However, as a local, I can say unequivocally that Japan has no intention of posing a threat to the U.S. through this acquisition and that Japan would never join the Chinese or Russian groups. (Japan's airspace and territorial waters are frequently violated by China and Russia, and each time Japan scrambles its fighter jets or sends out coastguard ships to drive them away, so the impression the Japanese have of the two countries is terrible.) As for Gaza, it is difficult to support Israel unconditionally because both sides have done terrible things. I think that in Western countries, if you criticize Jewish behavior, you are considered a racist in terms of political correctness, so you can't condemn Israel in the slightest. However, please do not consider Japan an enemy of the West just because it does not support Israel's current actions. I believe that Japan is making a fair judgment without any guilt because, unlike the West, Japan has not persecuted Jews in the past. Postscript. It is interesting to read many of the replies that give me an idea of how Americans think. Most Japanese, including myself, are not directly disadvantaged whether US Steel is bought by Nippon Steel or by the “American" man (from Brazil). However, the Japanese people seem to be saddened by this incident, as if Japan itself has been rejected by the U.S. It may have become an emotional issue. Nevertheless, many Japanese are buying U.S. stocks, so it is to the benefit of Japanese as well as Americans that the U.S. is not exposed to security threats. May the U.S. remain the strongest nation and economy for decades to come!
No foreign nation will ever be allowed to buy US Steel. Simply not going to happen. This is not a matter of dislike of Japanese people, but of caring about American national security. I OWN US Steel stocks, I would have made money with the purchase, but was one of many who demanded it not happen. It's not just about money, all sensible people can understand this.
As an American, there is no stress between us and Japan. I mean there is the obvious rhetoric by Trump. But its Trump. Our commitment to Japan seems steadfast. Europe is just cranky and wants to start trouble. it happened the last time the US didnt want to solve all of their problems too. This video is just clear bias. Most Americans view Japan as one of our closest, if not our closest ally. We dont want Nippon to buy a US company. But thats not out of any disrespect for Japan. Its out of pure national security.
@@Knight_Kin America's screwed if its national security truly is reliant on a firm that is barely hanging on in the top 5 of US steel producers, especially compared to companies a mere fraction of its age.
@@granfalloon9848 It's more about setting a precedent then actually stopping an immediate threat. If US steel were to sell out what's stopping thme for going after any of the bigger firms in the near future?
well, one thing to remember for the Japanese is, they are subjects of US, not the other way around. Japan would eventually kneel and bow to us as it usually does (remember what happened to your bubble economy in the 80s once you almost started to surpass us). So really don't care what you think of us or any other so called "allies" bleeding us like leaches. At the end of the day "we don't care", only thing you guys can do is say some words like "disappointed", "unfair" blah blah lol. we do what we don't if you can't comply gtfo. Can't live with chinese,koreans and russians, that is a "Japan's" problem not a "US' problem
The way I see it, its the americans that are doing decisions and actions that could undermine or even potentially sour the relationship between Japan and the US, but also for other countries too.
As a Japanese citizen, I want Japan to move away from USA policy now that the trump administration is taking over. Japan does not need the USA as much as people think.
Japan should have already moved away from US policy… The first move being kicking a foreign government (from halfway across the world mind you) military out of your Country
The Switch 2 was announced yesterday, so we’re all good now Sarcasm aside, it would be funny if a higher Switch 2 price would be what turns the US public against tariffs on Japan lol

Good as SEAsian we don't want chinese imperialist ruining the status quo or salami slicing. If Japan falls so does the world, met too many mainland chinese that is obnoxious, raysist, clasist (marxism playbook), they think the world owes them the entire planet and they should be rullers of middle kingdom.
@UeharaKeitaro上原恵太郎 Nah, your reflecting your personal opinion for all of Japan. Is Trump popular, no, but the geopolitical situation Japan finds itself means the alliance with the US makes sense right now.
If Cliffs wanted US Steel why didn’t they just buy it earlier? It was on the market for a while and it’s financial woes apparent for a while. The disgusting truth is that they wanted it for the bare minimum and they’re likely to gut it
If we’re gonna be honest any business in the world would do that . If your a business you are going to try to spend the least amount of money not to mention it’s in the billions .
I think the video overstates the tension between Japan and the US. Yes, there are moments where Japan's stance diverges from the US, like in the Gaza conflict or the steel feud, but these differences don’t necessarily signal a falling out. Japan's more cautious approach on some issues, like Gaza, can be seen as part of its own diplomatic priorities and history, not necessarily a deep disagreement with the US. Additionally, the speculation that Trump's return would automatically make things "worse" for Japan seems a bit one-sided. While Trump’s past approach to trade and military issues caused some strain, it's unclear if his return would lead to a major shift in the relationship. The US-Japan alliance is complex, with a lot of cooperation still happening, especially on security and trade. It feels like the video is focusing more on the conflict than the broader, ongoing partnership between the two countries. Just my two cents - there’s more nuance to this relationship than it might seem!
As Japanese, I feel this channel explains more than Japanese media,haha Anyway, I don’t understand why that CEO said Japan didn’t learn anything from 1945. I think we learned at that time how America is strong and are following the U.S. U.S shouldn’t interrupt Nihon steal . 日本人として感じたのはこのチャンネルは日本のメディアよりも詳しく説明されてますね CEO は日本は1945年から何も学んでないと言いますが私たちはあの敗戦からアメリカがいかに強大であるか学びました。そして従ってきたのです。アメリカは日本スチールを邪魔すべきではない
He's the CEO of Cleveland Cliffs steel who most likely wants to buy U.S. steel. He does not represent us. He's just a racist and greedy individual who doesn't want any rivals to destroy his business. I bet if Nippon Steel is buys U.S. steel, his company will struggle.
Just do like france instead and go for strategic autonomy policy. Japan learned the wrong lesson from ww2. The real lesson is to build nukes since the only way to secure peace is through MAD(mutally assured destruction). The reason why the soviets and americans did not go to war was because of their nuclear arsenal. France got the best millitary policy. Do not rely upon people that might put a knife in your back. Trump is doing that to their European allies and I am certain he will do the same to his Pacific allies aswell. America is not the same nation it ones was. France building their own nukes without help, with American and British complains was the right move. Now we do not need to care weather or not america is going to protect us unlike the rest of the EU. Still the idiots will not listen and follow our path since their stupidity will lead them towards occupation by Russia. We either adapt or get destroyed. Thisnis the first time in history they threaten to invade their neighbours and it is a giant warning not to trust them.
The West destroyed japan economy with that accord, didn't stop japan from being an obedient servant of its western overlords, don't think it will be different this time
@@MiguelDLewis True, but then what can they do stand up to the US? The Japanese ego makes want to believe they are "allies" and not live up to reality that they lackey taking orders only.
@@MiguelDLewis After the post-war Japanese export "make money party", the Japanese government and businesses most definitely went on a cocaine-crazed level shopping spree (e.g. Mitsubishi Corp. buying Rockefeller Center). So yep, this wasn't quite a one-sided bullying against Japan.
@ They flew too close to the sun. They wanted the benefits of being a superpower with none of the responsibilities therewith. They sold Soft Power without also providing Soft Empowerment. Hubris.
Potential clickbaiting aside, the japanese are very much in the right for asking for more clarity out of their single biggest partner and ally; like hello?? What national security concerns???
Pretty obvious…? Japans homeland is far closer to North Korea and China, with a rapidly aging population. No one can be certain what Japan will look like in 10-20 years but we know for certain that they will be the first nation to be under serious restraint due to their demographic issues. So much so, it could be a likely outcome that they will do whatever it takes to avoid war with an encroaching China to the point they may cut off the U.S. out of fear.
@@roy6907 You are genuinely delusional if you think communist China will just let Japan be if they suddenly decide to officially and completely separate from the US; they make it part of their day-to-day propaganda that Japan should never be forgiven for what they did to China during WW2, to the point that some zealous chinese have already taken upon themselves to physically harm japanese living in China. And japanese politicians know this.
@ Japan is ranked 190/204 in birthrates. Japan is ranked 3/230 in average age. So not only is it one of the oldest populations, but also one of the least reproducing ones. Combined with almost zero immigration, and you end up with a dying country. Idk what you are smoking.
You may recall the tensions between Japan and the US in the 1980s (primarily over economic policy), but somehow the relationship between the two didn't collapse. My money's on the same outcome this time around.
This is a completely different world compared to the 1980s. And this is not limited only to Japan. Electing Trump puppeted by a bunch of tech bro psychopaths also really didn't help matters.
Japan was thriving like no other time in history during this time and it was precisely because they were so willing to embrace America and American culture alongside their own.
Despite what our politicians may do or say I think its safe to say that Americans generally have a very positive view of Japan that has only grown in the last few decades.
How are they moving towards “independence”? They are already an independent nation, if your thinking that they should move out of the US sphere of influence then let’s just say China will have an easy time making quick work of you. Outside Australia, Japan is one of the most defensible nations near China as we can rely 100% on our navy to deal with them (as long as SK doesn’t fall and Russia doesn’t support China.)
Hi, Japanese Dad, American Mom here, 14 years in America, 6 years in Japan, dad's a Japanese citizen now, I want citizenship, as a Japanese American, honestly wanting to move to Japan and whatnot, given I like Trump but i'm uncertain of anything past his presidency, it's great seeing Japan push toward independence. Nevertheless as much as I'd like to type in Japanese, my current keyboard just doesn't allow me to do so given my Romanji Keyboard is on my other laptop. I look forward to conversing on people who have different beliefs, or similar beliefs!
@@missplainjane3905 Military independence, as in, remilitarizingand whatnot for defensive purposes, relying on America for support wouldn't be ideal when America is, I'm pretty sure, 7 thousand miles or so away from America, and with those 7 thousand miles, potential attacks from adversaries could occur. For strategical regions I feel like Japan should be able to remilitarize, nd that's the independence I mean
TLDR made a minor linguistic oversight in their title. The Brits mean something less severe when they refer to a falling out than other audiences perceive. "Falling out" just means "having a disagreement" in the UK. In the US, it means you're breaking up. Little differences in language can give people the wrong idea about what ideas are being conveyed. Just wanted to point this out for anyone who might be confused.
If true than that is a massive screw up on their part, as to an American your saying they are breaking off relations entirely or on the verge of it. Like if I saw a couple arguing I wouldn't say they were having a falling out that imply they are probably going to divorce, I would say they are having an argument.
@@PurpleGhost666 Was asked "who says Japan needed the U.S.." My reply is, the U.S. says Japan needs the U.S.. Am I wrong? Japan has been complying for decades.

Forgot to mention the part about how US Credit Card corporations are twisting the arms of Japanese anime Companies to censoring their shows as well as few other incidents.
Purely politics by the Democrats to keep short-term support of the Steelworker's Union. Long term it'll cause the two US Steel plants to close down due to lack of investment in new steel alloys/steel production methods (including automation).

Respectfully, you've been misinformed. The national security concern has nothing to do with Nippon Steel. The US just can't strategically afford to sell US Steel to anyone, even Japan. It's about logistics and reindustrializing in the wake of decoupling from China, not a lack of confidence in Japan.
As someone who has been living in Japan for a long time, Trump is probably going to be the best thing for international relations. In comparison to the Biden administration, opinions towards Trump are that he's a more aggressive leader that will secure Japan's borders. In terms of Japan-US relations, nothing has really changed, so no, clickbait title IMO. Not enough has happened to justify a video like this.
@missplainjane3905 @missplainjane3905 Japan is more developed nationwide, the Average Japanese person won't be living in a suburb out in the middle of nowhere like in America. But America is far more advanced in terms of it's highs. There are more cities, more growth potential, and more innovation. Japanese companies are too risk adverse so it feels like Japan Is more developed than America, but developed with tech from the 1900s because that's all they can trust, lol.

Why should Japan care about Israel-Palestine? They don't really have a foot in the race anyways, so why are nations trying to force them to take sides??
It’s not even a serious point either side cares about. Outside of a few politicians, literally neither Japan or the US cares about what the other thinks about the region. It does nothing to international affairs and idk why it’s brought up here
@@roy6907 Because everyone else, like the Europeans are absolutely obsessed with “Palestine”. Of course, they won’t like it if we point out that the current situation is due to what they did all those years ago before, during, and after World War 2. The US didn’t have much to do with it either initially, but we’re the ones left holding the bag.
@@芸能讃歌 Okay that makes perfect sense. I knew that Japan is quite resource poor but I never really considered Palestine to be a part of that equation. Makes sense now.
🤦♀️u forgot to say that Japan PM got assassinated & Trump almost got assassinated twice. So both have something in common; the tendency to be a target of assassination! 🤷♀️
I remember when Abe was assassinated, I was working for a Japanese couple in a very left leaning city. So many customers coming in offered condolences to my bosses and talked about how awful the incident was. I thought it was interesting as most of these people probably would not say the same about Trump if he was assassinated. Yet the closest US politician you can liken Abe to was Trump.
All heads-of-state have security details, and in Trumps case he was a former USA President and the Republican candidate so he had a security squad with him. Abe was not the PM when he got assassinated, I thought he had also given up his seat in the Japanese parliament and was just doing promotional work for his political party at that time.
The current Japanese government is actually pro China. last week a delegation of 14 ruling party members met up with the Chinese CPC. It hasn't happened in almost a decade. At the same time, we kicked out 10 thousand US troops out of Japan, making Taiwan worried. But we don't care about Taiwan anymore. Taiwan is so g4y now, too Western.
I'm impressed how successfully the US is torpedoing all its alliances after building them up for so long. It's insane how powerful and useful having a globe spaning alliance of countries can be, and the US just decided Nah I don't need it.
Because we literally don't lol. Why do you think this whole alliance was built up? It was to fight the soviets so the US literally bribe the entire world with access to the global ocean creating global trade and in return if we ever fight the soviet everyone had to stand on our side. The soviets are gone, Russia prove itself to be a non factor to US. So my question is why the hell are we still protecting the global ocean and trade for everyone else while they act like ungrateful pricks? Trust me if US was really torpedoing all its alliance they would all be burning right now lol. (not literally but financially)
No such thing. More like "Nah, I'm not bribing people to be my friends anymore." Alliances really aren't that great a thing when A. They carry a negative cost and B. You no longer care to be World Police and C. Nukes keep the Great Power Peace.
We have seen in Ukraine how vulnerable they were when depending mainly on weapons from other countries. This is why they are now increasingly making more of their own. Considering this, I can understand why the US wants to keep manufacturing their own steel. If they were at war, they would need their own supplies in such an important industry. Supply lines could easily be targeted if they import steel. I do not believe it is due to a problem with the relationship between the US and Japan. It's just good strategic thinking. 🇦🇺
@@Knight_Kin Just watch! As tensions with Japan, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama, EU etc.. take hold, watch the populations of those countries and others that are watching how former “friends and allies” are being treated, turn away from the US “values and mutual agreements” that are shown to be valueless or even a liability. Why would they renew base leases? Why would they support US-led initiatives? Why would they follow the US lead and not work with nations that don’t share “American values” when they realize they no longer share American values? The USA is acting like a playground bully and in the end, they all end up friendless, bitter and lonely.
Imagine being forced to rely on another country for protection, not being allowed to develop your own nuclear weapons while the one "protecting" you has thousands
The biggest concern is both alliances (South Korea and Japan) have too much have Opportunists in all Media sections(Politics, Society, Culture), and the United States always allowed them. Their professors taught anti-Americanism in domestic universities and sent their childrens to Study abroad in the US ridiculously. If Trumps start to banish Asian students, they will blame him. Asian journalists spread propaganda to citizens warning Imperialism to the US and stopped criticizing the communist invasion. Because they consist of the middle class or Upper class to achieve Material success. Too many Chinese spies in South Korea and Japan.

Moral compass? From the Japanese? Hahaha 😂 Japan only exists because the US has an actual moral compass. If any of the other countries had defeated the Japanese in WW2 they wouldn't exist today. All you countries with thousands of years of history and uptight attitudes would have wiped the Japanese people to nothing and absorbed their land. I won't take a lesson in morals from someone that isn't American. You all are just angry and absolutely jealous that a country with barely 300 years of existence is the only super power on earth. Morals what a joke. Every country on earth has a nasty bloody handprint on history! Acting like you're innocent. You disgust ME.
"Yes, you must allow the foreign steel conglomerate to buy your strategic domestic assets or else you lack moral compass". Phew lad, that's some Cope right there.
It's not exactly "falling out", it is like Japan weaning off dependency on the US, due to necessity, since the US can't fight wars for Japan (US is stretched thin), and Japan needs to gear up to fight for itself including changing its constitution that the WW2 era US basically wrote to contain Japanese military power.
Since they already have recovered from WW2 losses and sucked enough from the US taxpayers now they are turning their back on their saviours and bearing their teeth at them, I wonder how ungrateful one must be to showcase such behaviour.

@@MiguelDLewis The second comment referencing Pearl Harbor, Unit 731, and Cherry Blossoms at Night is highlighting some of Japan's most infamous actions during World War II. Here's what they refer to: Pearl Harbor (1941) On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, leading to the United States' entry into World War II. The attack resulted in the deaths of over 2,400 Americans and the destruction of numerous ships and aircraft. Unit 731 (Biological Warfare and Human Experimentation) Unit 731 was a covert Japanese military unit that conducted horrifying biological and chemical warfare experiments on human subjects, primarily Chinese civilians and prisoners of war, during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. Victims were subjected to: Vivisection (surgery without anesthesia) Frostbite experiments Germ warfare tests involving diseases like plague, cholera, and anthrax Tens of thousands of people were killed as a result of these experiments. Cherry Blossoms at Night (Kamikaze and Biological Attack Plans) Cherry Blossoms at Night was a Japanese plan to use biological warfare against the U.S. during WWII. The plan involved using balloons and kamikaze submarines to spread plague-infected fleas over civilian populations, similar to Unit 731 tactics. The attack was never executed but illustrates Japan's extreme wartime strategies.
@@MiguelDLewis Other Atrocities Committed by Imperial Japan in WWII: The Nanjing Massacre (1937): Mass killings and sexual violence where approximately 200,000-300,000 Chinese civilians were slaughtered during the occupation of Nanjing. Comfort Women: Thousands of women from occupied territories (Korea, China, Philippines, etc.) were forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese military. Bataan Death March (1942): American and Filipino POWs were forced on a brutal march, resulting in thousands of deaths due to starvation, abuse, and execution. Forced Labor and Mass Killings: Civilians and POWs across Asia were subjected to forced labor and brutal mistreatment, resulting in widespread deaths.

Arrogant? That’s laughable. Also, perk of being an American, you can leave whenever you want. Denying a foreign nation from purchasing your steel industry is totally normal. And in Europe? Even more so. The US and Eastern NATO states were the only serious nations. The War in Ukraine was caused because Putin saw how Europe delegated its defense to America and then funded Russias military through energy deals. And Canada? Canada has become such a joke internationally that they were excluded from AUKUS since they were so weak. Every major Anglo nation agreed that Canada was so far behind in military affairs that it wasn’t even worth involving them in the program.
You wish you were born in another country? I honestly cannot understand this mindset at all, Americans are paid way more than Europeans and pay less taxes, if you have good insurance then healthcare literally isn’t an issue because we have the best healthcare in the world, Europeans are taxed to the ends of the earth and on average live worst lives than Americans. Outside of social programs no other country can offer a life like the US can, you’d be drooling at your screen if you were born in another country seeing as you would’ve skipped out on the best one on earth.

This is propaganda or simply untrue. As an American living in Japan for nearly half a year now, Japanese opinion of America, at least in my area, is high. Japanese youth still love the USA, you can thank social media, Ohtani, and Yamamoto.
this is politics it doesn't have to follow the people opinion sometimes and lately most of the time look at China and America. You could find alot of Chinese and American doesn't hate each other but it's there governments
Having lived in Japan I think it's actually gotten worse. Japanese people are very polite and won't tell you things if it might be considered rude(with exceptions). I've seen the no foreigner signs selectively enforced depending on where people are from. It's only been two or three times but it's never happened before.

I say this as a Jewish American who has been to Japan and plans to move someday… nobody needs to like a country whose soldiers occupy their land and assault their children, whose civilians treat their country and its culture like a playground, and whose leaders skip important respectful visits because Israel wasn’t invited. I think the events in Okinawa are direct evidence that American troops no longer benefit the Japanese and that the JSDF needs to stand on its own two feet militarily. And I am _not_ saying to remove Article 9 or allow Japan to develop nuclear weapons by any means (dear lord) nor do I want to give Japanese nationalists any chance to take power (because we all know how that turned out last time) but it has felt like Japan has been a dog on a leash since the end of the war in a way Germany and Italy haven't and this has been rather undeserved. Japan - not the US or CCP or UN but Japan itself - has kept its military ambitions in check and has proven they are now a peaceable people. They have opportunities to get into international conflict yet they refuse. And yet only time the Japanese were afforded any sense of autonomy was in the 70s-90s when its economy almost overtook the US’s and even then I doubt the US was ever going to let that happen. The fourth biggest economy needs to be allowed to defend itself by itself. End of discussion. (And for any who says they could stand to apologize more genuinely for the Empire and reduce the corporations’ hostility towards their workers I 100% agree - but do you think that will happen while they’re under America’s thumb?)

USA saw Asia as new frontier for business , Asia is infinite market for American dreamers . But in reality, Asia is “Graveyards of empires from beginning of history “. As a Japanese, I’m great thankful to USA , they took our role as “counter part to continental powers“ After WW2,USA fought Russia,Korea, Vietnam, Iraq,Afghanistan, Arab and China. It’s completely overwhelming from my view. Too bad to say that Americans are clearly no more as powerful as 80s. US GDP is growing strong and tech companies are thriving. But same time, death rate of infant and pregnant is getting worse. Life expectancy is shortening. Death by alcohol and drug is clear indicator of social sickness. Even though, USA will definitely win war against China over Taiwan. But who knows the result and price?
Nah… Japan and US, on key interest we are in lockstep. US leadership however putting far too much emphasis on US business interests. Japan working closely with Taiwan and more local friendly countries is also in US long term interests. Such behavior is not unfriendly. Japan and Taiwan are not US Territories for purpose of economic exploitation. Even if American leadership would like them to be, it is more important they foster economic and security ties with each other as soon as possible.
Hamas has the eradication of Israel in its written constitution. Israel has no such genocidal intent written into its constitution. I think you have been suckered by Iranian propaganda.
I'm sick of Islamist sympathizers. And Japan hardly has anything to do with this. Comes more out of a desire to not want to offend anybody than Japan caring about Islam. Israel is also the common "gacha" against the West so some groups inside of Japan take advantage of that. Japanese can hardly stomach Christianity. I'd like to see how they'd react to Islam. Idiots.
USA and Japan falling out doesn’t end up well for either. It’s generally not good to be falling out with key allies in a region you have key interests in.

That's BS. Japan's military is focused on their East Asia location. Japanese military personnel do come to the USA for training/joint training with USA military, but not to establish bases.

I am Japanese, but I can understand why Americans do not like the acquisition of US Steel by Nippon Steel.
When I heard that Nissan was about to be acquired by a Taiwanese company, I honestly did not like it, even though Taiwan is an important friend of ours. I guess their feeling is similar to that.
However, as a local, I can say unequivocally that Japan has no intention of posing a threat to the U.S. through this acquisition and that Japan would never join the Chinese or Russian groups. (Japan's airspace and territorial waters are frequently violated by China and Russia, and each time Japan scrambles its fighter jets or sends out coastguard ships to drive them away, so the impression the Japanese have of the two countries is terrible.)
As for Gaza, it is difficult to support Israel unconditionally because both sides have done terrible things. I think that in Western countries, if you criticize Jewish behavior, you are considered a racist in terms of political correctness, so you can't condemn Israel in the slightest. However, please do not consider Japan an enemy of the West just because it does not support Israel's current actions. I believe that Japan is making a fair judgment without any guilt because, unlike the West, Japan has not persecuted Jews in the past.
Postscript.
It is interesting to read many of the replies that give me an idea of how Americans think. Most Japanese, including myself, are not directly disadvantaged whether US Steel is bought by Nippon Steel or by the “American" man (from Brazil). However, the Japanese people seem to be saddened by this incident, as if Japan itself has been rejected by the U.S. It may have become an emotional issue.
Nevertheless, many Japanese are buying U.S. stocks, so it is to the benefit of Japanese as well as Americans that the U.S. is not exposed to security threats.
May the U.S. remain the strongest nation and economy for decades to come!
No foreign nation will ever be allowed to buy US Steel. Simply not going to happen. This is not a matter of dislike of Japanese people, but of caring about American national security. I OWN US Steel stocks, I would have made money with the purchase, but was one of many who demanded it not happen. It's not just about money, all sensible people can understand this.
As an American, there is no stress between us and Japan. I mean there is the obvious rhetoric by Trump. But its Trump. Our commitment to Japan seems steadfast. Europe is just cranky and wants to start trouble. it happened the last time the US didnt want to solve all of their problems too. This video is just clear bias. Most Americans view Japan as one of our closest, if not our closest ally. We dont want Nippon to buy a US company. But thats not out of any disrespect for Japan. Its out of pure national security.
@@Knight_Kin America's screwed if its national security truly is reliant on a firm that is barely hanging on in the top 5 of US steel producers, especially compared to companies a mere fraction of its age.

@UeharaKeitaro上原恵太郎 Nah, your reflecting your personal opinion for all of Japan. Is Trump popular, no, but the geopolitical situation Japan finds itself means the alliance with the US makes sense right now.
If Cliffs wanted US Steel why didn’t they just buy it earlier? It was on the market for a while and it’s financial woes apparent for a while. The disgusting truth is that they wanted it for the bare minimum and they’re likely to gut it
Protectionism for America and free trade for the rest.
If we’re gonna be honest any business in the world would do that . If your a business you are going to try to spend the least amount of money not to mention it’s in the billions .
I think the video overstates the tension between Japan and the US. Yes, there are moments where Japan's stance diverges from the US, like in the Gaza conflict or the steel feud, but these differences don’t necessarily signal a falling out. Japan's more cautious approach on some issues, like Gaza, can be seen as part of its own diplomatic priorities and history, not necessarily a deep disagreement with the US.
Additionally, the speculation that Trump's return would automatically make things "worse" for Japan seems a bit one-sided. While Trump’s past approach to trade and military issues caused some strain, it's unclear if his return would lead to a major shift in the relationship. The US-Japan alliance is complex, with a lot of cooperation still happening, especially on security and trade. It feels like the video is focusing more on the conflict than the broader, ongoing partnership between the two countries.
Just my two cents - there’s more nuance to this relationship than it might seem!
As Japanese, I feel this channel explains more than Japanese media,haha

Just do like france instead and go for strategic autonomy policy. Japan learned the wrong lesson from ww2. The real lesson is to build nukes since the only way to secure peace is through MAD(mutally assured destruction). The reason why the soviets and americans did not go to war was because of their nuclear arsenal.
France got the best millitary policy. Do not rely upon people that might put a knife in your back. Trump is doing that to their European allies and I am certain he will do the same to his Pacific allies aswell. America is not the same nation it ones was.
France building their own nukes without help, with American and British complains was the right move. Now we do not need to care weather or not america is going to protect us unlike the rest of the EU.

TLDR made a minor linguistic oversight in their title. The Brits mean something less severe when they refer to a falling out than other audiences perceive.

If true than that is a massive screw up on their part, as to an American your saying they are breaking off relations entirely or on the verge of it.

So many customers coming in offered condolences to my bosses and talked about how awful the incident was. I thought it was interesting as most of these people probably would not say the same about Trump if he was assassinated. Yet the closest US politician you can liken Abe to was Trump.
All heads-of-state have security details, and in Trumps case he was a former USA President and the Republican candidate so he had a security squad with him. Abe was not the PM when he got assassinated, I thought he had also given up his seat in the Japanese parliament and was just doing promotional work for his political party at that time.

So ?
Imagine the fallout with USA will urge Japan to amend with China and switch to their team…..
The current Japanese government is actually pro China. last week a delegation of 14 ruling party members met up with the Chinese CPC. It hasn't happened in almost a decade. At the same time, we kicked out 10 thousand US troops out of Japan, making Taiwan worried. But we don't care about Taiwan anymore. Taiwan is so g4y now, too Western.
China hates japan, doing that would be insanely difficult.

Every US ally right now thinking "with friends like these, who needs enemies"
I'm impressed how successfully the US is torpedoing all its alliances after building them up for so long. It's insane how powerful and useful having a globe spaning alliance of countries can be, and the US just decided Nah I don't need it.
Me when I make things up
Because we literally don't lol. Why do you think this whole alliance was built up? It was to fight the soviets so the US literally bribe the entire world with access to the global ocean creating global trade and in return if we ever fight the soviet everyone had to stand on our side. The soviets are gone, Russia prove itself to be a non factor to US. So my question is why the hell are we still protecting the global ocean and trade for everyone else while they act like ungrateful pricks?
Trust me if US was really torpedoing all its alliance they would all be burning right now lol. (not literally but financially)
No such thing. More like "Nah, I'm not bribing people to be my friends anymore." Alliances really aren't that great a thing when A. They carry a negative cost and B. You no longer care to be World Police and C. Nukes keep the Great Power Peace.
We have seen in Ukraine how vulnerable they were when depending mainly on weapons from other countries. This is why they are now increasingly making more of their own. Considering this, I can understand why the US wants to keep manufacturing their own steel. If they were at war, they would need their own supplies in such an important industry. Supply lines could easily be targeted if they import steel. I do not believe it is due to a problem with the relationship between the US and Japan. It's just good strategic thinking. 🇦🇺
France and Germany did not see eye to eye with the USA during the 2nd gulf war. Look how that turned out
Germany got off easy. France got eternally humiliated by American propaganda about surrendering in WW2.
@ considering France’s role in USA independence from the English that was particularly ungrateful of them
Fallen out with the USA.
extremely over exaggerated.
@@Knight_Kin Just watch! As tensions with Japan, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama, EU etc.. take hold, watch the populations of those countries and others that are watching how former “friends and allies” are being treated, turn away from the US “values and mutual agreements” that are shown to be valueless or even a liability. Why would they renew base leases? Why would they support US-led initiatives? Why would they follow the US lead and not work with nations that don’t share “American values” when they realize they no longer share American values? The USA is acting like a playground bully and in the end, they all end up friendless, bitter and lonely.
Imagine being forced to rely on another country for protection, not being allowed to develop your own nuclear weapons while the one "protecting" you has thousands
Better than taking over completely which they could have done as many countries did.
🇯🇵: “I knew I shouldn’t have done all those war crimes…”
I am American. I could care less about Europe, but we NEED JAPAN! I wish we could make America Japan 😭
The biggest concern is both alliances (South Korea and Japan) have too much have Opportunists in all Media sections(Politics, Society, Culture), and the United States always allowed them. Their professors taught anti-Americanism in domestic universities and sent their childrens to Study abroad in the US ridiculously. If Trumps start to banish Asian students, they will blame him. Asian journalists spread propaganda to citizens warning Imperialism to the US and stopped criticizing the communist invasion. Because they consist of the middle class or Upper class to achieve Material success. Too many Chinese spies in South Korea and Japan.

Farewell to Pacifism ... Japan is rearming. 🤷
Why is it that Japan has been in a recession since the 90s? It must have to do with American debt being distributed amongst it's allies.
Plaza accord, also the usa shut down several japanese companies after accusations of them trading with soviets
So Japan has a moral compass and the Americans don’t. Go Japan 🎉
Mmm "moral" compas
Moral compass? From the Japanese? Hahaha 😂 Japan only exists because the US has an actual moral compass. If any of the other countries had defeated the Japanese in WW2 they wouldn't exist today. All you countries with thousands of years of history and uptight attitudes would have wiped the Japanese people to nothing and absorbed their land. I won't take a lesson in morals from someone that isn't American. You all are just angry and absolutely jealous that a country with barely 300 years of existence is the only super power on earth. Morals what a joke. Every country on earth has a nasty bloody handprint on history! Acting like you're innocent. You disgust ME.
are u a bot? or did u not watch the video?
"Yes, you must allow the foreign steel conglomerate to buy your strategic domestic assets or else you lack moral compass". Phew lad, that's some Cope right there.
Uhhhhhhhh
It's not exactly "falling out", it is like Japan weaning off dependency on the US, due to necessity, since the US can't fight wars for Japan (US is stretched thin), and Japan needs to gear up to fight for itself including changing its constitution that the WW2 era US basically wrote to contain Japanese military power.
With a population in decline they won't ever be a military power ever again. Most likely by design
Since they already have recovered from WW2 losses and sucked enough from the US taxpayers now they are turning their back on their saviours and bearing their teeth at them, I wonder how ungrateful one must be to showcase such behaviour.
🤣 You're so delusional. Is Japan gonna pick a fight with China over Taiwan?
@@ph0ebus Nah. that's USA problem.
@@spugelo359 Then who exactly is it going to fight? You'd be invading a country with a hostile population, not a lot of land, and very low amount of natural resources.

It is sad because Japanese entertainment is objectively better than American entertainment
This is pretty low effort clickbait
US: why is everyone upset with me? All I want was everything.
Japan needs its independence, get away from being a US base.
Japanese public opinion is extremely divided on this subject in a peculiar way. Center left wantS to maintain the status quo, center right wants more us military presence to counter china, far left wants to get rid of us military and stay out of any kind of potential conflict us might involve, far right wants to get rid of us military and rebuild japanese defense capabilities to levels before ww2 and become a full-fledged great power.
Pearl Harbor, Unit 731, Cherry Blossoms at Night...
@@MiguelDLewis The second comment referencing Pearl Harbor, Unit 731, and Cherry Blossoms at Night is highlighting some of Japan's most infamous actions during World War II. Here's what they refer to:
Pearl Harbor (1941)
On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, leading to the United States' entry into World War II.
The attack resulted in the deaths of over 2,400 Americans and the destruction of numerous ships and aircraft.
Unit 731 (Biological Warfare and Human Experimentation)
Unit 731 was a covert Japanese military unit that conducted horrifying biological and chemical warfare experiments on human subjects, primarily Chinese civilians and prisoners of war, during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II.
Victims were subjected to:
Vivisection (surgery without anesthesia)
Frostbite experiments
Germ warfare tests involving diseases like plague, cholera, and anthrax
Tens of thousands of people were killed as a result of these experiments.
Cherry Blossoms at Night (Kamikaze and Biological Attack Plans)
Cherry Blossoms at Night was a Japanese plan to use biological warfare against the U.S. during WWII.
The plan involved using balloons and kamikaze submarines to spread plague-infected fleas over civilian populations, similar to Unit 731 tactics.
The attack was never executed but illustrates Japan's extreme wartime strategies.
@@MiguelDLewis Other Atrocities Committed by Imperial Japan in WWII:
The Nanjing Massacre (1937): Mass killings and sexual violence where approximately 200,000-300,000 Chinese civilians were slaughtered during the occupation of Nanjing.
Comfort Women: Thousands of women from occupied territories (Korea, China, Philippines, etc.) were forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese military.
Bataan Death March (1942): American and Filipino POWs were forced on a brutal march, resulting in thousands of deaths due to starvation, abuse, and execution.
Forced Labor and Mass Killings: Civilians and POWs across Asia were subjected to forced labor and brutal mistreatment, resulting in widespread deaths.
@@MiguelDLewisYeah because china is still the the single most impoverished country with median age of 30 and with the most opium use and is ruled by warlord hedonists conducting cleanses because they heard that there was a guy in that town called chiang (This time well get him boys!) and more preoccupied with kidnapping foreign delegades in coastal cities and making harems right? Its surely not like the second largest economy in the world that has psent the last 20 years preparing for the inevitable war with the us has a way to just cut off some island country thats in the midst of a demographic apocalypse…..
This doesn't matter, Japan at the end of the day will side with the USA since they protect them from China and Russia (Both countries that Japan to this day has disputes over land aka islands). If anything threatens Japan country or people, they will always fall back to the USA
@@oldsenpai4337 Honestly not if Japan actually spends money on the Self Defense Force. Japanese Heli carriers have capacity to carry as many jets as the HMS Elizabeth however because of small military spending (because of the pacifist constitution) they only have 3 of those. If japan were to take a harder stance on the military, they can easily be on par with PLA at the very least. The Japanese aren’t the kind to be looked down upon, they rebuilt faster than countries receiving aid with the Marshall Plan even after napalming and nuked 2 times
@yinpuyphark8475 Japan will lose about half of its population in about 70 to 80 years due to the low birthrate and low immigration into the country. I highly doubt they will have an efficient fighting force to defend itself. Only other option would be to build nu.cleae weapons to defend itself.
@@yinpuyphark8475 Japan has been increasing their military spending significantly for the last few years if I remember correctly.
@@hungrymusicwolf from 0.2% to 1% of gdp spending on military is really small compared to the other developed economies, it’s simply very small compared to their income level and status as the fourth largest economy

I'm an American and I'd say the US is getting what it deserves. The country is too arrogant and needs to be humbled. I just hate that I have to live in this country sometimes. I wish I was born in another country.
Arrogant? That’s laughable. Also, perk of being an American, you can leave whenever you want.
Denying a foreign nation from purchasing your steel industry is totally normal.
And in Europe? Even more so. The US and Eastern NATO states were the only serious nations. The War in Ukraine was caused because Putin saw how Europe delegated its defense to America and then funded Russias military through energy deals.
And Canada? Canada has become such a joke internationally that they were excluded from AUKUS since they were so weak.
Every major Anglo nation agreed that Canada was so far behind in military affairs that it wasn’t even worth involving them in the program.
It ain't that hard to leave. If you really wanted to leave? You'd do the work and make it a priority. You're comfortable here. You ain't leaving
@@CentauriAB You're not forced to be here. Save up and leave.
You wish you were born in another country? I honestly cannot understand this mindset at all, Americans are paid way more than Europeans and pay less taxes, if you have good insurance then healthcare literally isn’t an issue because we have the best healthcare in the world, Europeans are taxed to the ends of the earth and on average live worst lives than Americans.
Outside of social programs no other country can offer a life like the US can, you’d be drooling at your screen if you were born in another country seeing as you would’ve skipped out on the best one on earth. People who don’t value what they have are so annoying.

Not without the population becoming a political force. Sorry! They're created to be other things, but not a public.
Moderate Southerner in the US here. I HATE this. The US needs to make big changes in the way our government is elected or we are quickly headed for doom. Can keep flip flopping politics every 4-8 years and expect the global community to say onboard. Trump>Biden was the obvious choice. As much as Evil>Evil. We need to be better. Follow in Alaskas footsteps for political elections -RANKED CHOICE VOTING-
We need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine as we have a media complicit in seducing Americans to vote against their interests.
Maybe a change like this would be good, but regardless those in power aren't going to change how the political system works. All history is class struggle. The ruling class does not listen to moderates.

This is propaganda or simply untrue. As an American living in Japan for nearly half a year now, Japanese opinion of America, at least in my area, is high. Japanese youth still love the USA, you can thank social media, Ohtani, and Yamamoto.
Sport, music, tech and movies are usually loved by the world, most of what the US offer is pretty awful really.
this is politics it doesn't have to follow the people opinion sometimes and lately most of the time look at China and America. You could find alot of Chinese and American doesn't hate each other but it's there governments
So naive, still looking at a westerner perspective
Having lived in Japan I think it's actually gotten worse. Japanese people are very polite and won't tell you things if it might be considered rude(with exceptions).
I've seen the no foreigner signs selectively enforced depending on where people are from. It's only been two or three times but it's never happened before.
No, you're wrong.
Trump forgets that Japan is the most powerful democratic ally they have in the Asia-Pacific region. Americans have long championed democracy something that is under threat everyday in these turbulent times
I just want the TLDR logo to finish drawing itself. Too many smash cuts, jumping around. It doesn’t feel satisfying as-is. It looks like I’m watching tldi instead of tldr
Or they should pick up Aldi as a sponsor.
I say this as a Jewish American who has been to Japan and plans to move someday… nobody needs to like a country whose soldiers occupy their land and assault their children, whose civilians treat their country and its culture like a playground, and whose leaders skip important respectful visits because Israel wasn’t invited.
I think the events in Okinawa are direct evidence that American troops no longer benefit the Japanese and that the JSDF needs to stand on its own two feet militarily. And I am _not_ saying to remove Article 9 or allow Japan to develop nuclear weapons by any means (dear lord) nor do I want to give Japanese nationalists any chance to take power (because we all know how that turned out last time) but it has felt like Japan has been a dog on a leash since the end of the war in a way Germany and Italy haven't and this has been rather undeserved. Japan - not the US or CCP or UN but Japan itself - has kept its military ambitions in check and has proven they are now a peaceable people. They have opportunities to get into international conflict yet they refuse. And yet only time the Japanese were afforded any sense of autonomy was in the 70s-90s when its economy almost overtook the US’s and even then I doubt the US was ever going to let that happen.
The fourth biggest economy needs to be allowed to defend itself by itself. End of discussion.
(And for any who says they could stand to apologize more genuinely for the Empire and reduce the corporations’ hostility towards their workers I 100% agree - but do you think that will happen while they’re under America’s thumb?)

As a Japanese,American geopolitics is ideal utopia paradise heaven for anyone in Asia from Japan to Turkey.
John’s revelation is not prediction, it’s parody of Asian daily life.
No powerful enemy on ground border, secured by vast oceans, rich agricultural soil, unlimited natural resources.
USA saw Asia as new frontier for business , Asia is infinite market for American dreamers .
But in reality, Asia is “Graveyards of empires from beginning of history “.
As a Japanese, I’m great thankful to USA , they took our role as “counter part to continental powers“
After WW2,USA fought Russia,Korea, Vietnam, Iraq,Afghanistan, Arab and China.
It’s completely overwhelming from my view.
Too bad to say that Americans are clearly no more as powerful as 80s.
US GDP is growing strong and tech companies are thriving.
But same time, death rate of infant and pregnant is getting worse.
Life expectancy is shortening.
Death by alcohol and drug is clear indicator of social sickness.
Even though, USA will definitely win war against China over Taiwan.
But who knows the result and price?
Japan sees money to be made with China, and security guarantee with US. A difficult balancing act in a polarized world.
Nah… Japan and US, on key interest we are in lockstep. US leadership however putting far too much emphasis on US business interests. Japan working closely with Taiwan and more local friendly countries is also in US long term interests. Such behavior is not unfriendly.
Japan and Taiwan are not US Territories for purpose of economic exploitation. Even if American leadership would like them to be, it is more important they foster economic and security ties with each other as soon as possible.
How dare Japan have a different attitude to Israel and not automatically side with their attempts to annex the whole of Palestine.
Hamas has the eradication of Israel in its written constitution. Israel has no such genocidal intent written into its constitution. I think you have been suckered by Iranian propaganda.
This one is a whole other topic that in a sense Japan doesn't have much to do there
I'm sick of Islamist sympathizers. And Japan hardly has anything to do with this. Comes more out of a desire to not want to offend anybody than Japan caring about Islam. Israel is also the common "gacha" against the West so some groups inside of Japan take advantage of that. Japanese can hardly stomach Christianity. I'd like to see how they'd react to Islam. Idiots.
The fall of Rome.

Also, I don’t think Japan is falling out with the West if anything it’s more along with the West itself not falling out with each other, including Western. They’re not falling out with each other most of them well except for India if you want to go there, I guess but besides India, the only countries in the West or allies, which is the rest that are falling out with Western ice, Western influence, Western country, etc. yeah the only kind of thing besides India for falling out would be the USA with literally everybody else in the west, and probably every single other country
