Every Country needs to be able to defend itself. Never rely on other Countries.
Talk about Ukraine getting billions of dollars and euros every week and military weapons that cost billions of dollars too.
@@ElonMasks They have lost a huge area to Russia and thousands of civilians are dead with Infrastructural loss of more than 100 billion USD till June and it may have reached 200 or even 300 Billion now. Not to mention nearly 1/3 of entire population getting displaced. They have faced total losses of 1 trillion USD and their economy has shrunk by nearly 50%. I don't think Ukraine wanted weapons or dollars in return for this.
There no such thing one person can do it al.
You or me need help with other people in the time peace or war.
Good. I support Japan empire
@@Optimistic_mind441 Ik that. It just the comment said "Never rely on other countries", just pointed out Ukraine he probably missed it.
There's a difference between starting a war and defending yourself and your territory. Nobody will fault them for that and it should be within their constitutional rights.
correct, and for anyone who is confused...... Russia started a war by invading another country, Ukraine defended itself.
And just for the record, Ukraine is entitled to sabotage/snipe/shell/bomb/rocket/HIMAR any military target inside Russia since the countries are at war.
Unless they're jeopardies american interest in the region even become threat...the american will brand them as terrorist or hostile,so whatever they do even thou it purpose is to defend their territory the american (west) will consider them as threat.
@@simplyyellow6240 Japan and America are too connected for America to call Japan a terrorist just because it effecting American interest. And many Japanese citizen are still pacifists and won't support a war that Japan may start even if they will call it "the special operation". Unless it starts and ends like very quick for population to notice.
@@simplyyellow6240 shut up. Japanese is US closest ally
Agreed
Right move for Japan.
You can't depend on anyone else for your defence. There is a reason why 'self defense' has the word 'self' in it.
I'm proud to have japan as a friend. Great people!
Only to the American. We Asian don't trust the Japanese. The have murdered us and colonised our countries before and yet don't admit that.
Okinawan doomed💀
Yes its about time japan needs to stand and rise again.
Yes yes yes il est temps que le Japon prennent la troisième !
In history not many die from a Raising or Risen China. Millions no 10's millions die from a Risen Japan.

yes it is time for japan to invade india and finish the job they set out to do in WW2.
Stand and Rise but no repeat Ruzzia pls
The US has been trying to actually get Japan to build a military since the 1950s (after realizing that McArthur made a mistake by forcing them to be pacifists in their constitution). Japan kept rejecting it but now they realize they have to militarize.
so they can buy weapons from US.. that is what the US does, Russia makes more money selling Oil in a week than it makes selling weapons in a year.. infact Russia makes more money selling vegetable oil than it makes selling weapons
It's a big lies,America have achieved it goals and NATO objectives, then, America was the dominant power after CCCP but now with many well equipped strong military around the World America felt insecure that's why America needs an arm Japan and an arm Germany.
Every country should have the right to build their army. EVERY COUNTRY
This is some Class A BullSh*t. Have you ever read the American doctrine? Its written enemies enemy is a friend but if the friend becomes too powerful then the US or even threatens the hegemony of the US shall be destroyed or slowed down. Basically, the US has no friends. It's a hegemony power and There is a reason they keep NATO and especially countries like Japan and Germany weeker by offering them help.
It was not really a mistake but the horrors of war and Imperial zealotry coupled with their faith because of the Meiji dynasty had taken over the temples and dictated the Emperor's divine nature, it was brainwashing on mass for many years, fixing it was not easy,
Pacifism is often seen like a weakness in our world. Even if some countries have evolved and give up the military some other countries have not evolved and threaten the pacifist ones.
yes pacifism is seen as weakness, usually by the guy who chooses to invade you. And he is usually correct.
It is "borderline masochism" on a mass scale. When a country doesn't even defend themselves upon ideology that defense is a form of violence, then that country is at mercy of their invader/opponent, and always can expect for the price of suffering that comes with it.
Until that country finds out how wrong they really are!
Exactly ! What we have here is on the one side countries like Russia and China threatening and forcing the matured pacifist nations like Germany and Japan to build a strong military when they don't want to, but have no choice.
@@michaeldavison9808 c
Good for them, I think we can all agree that during these times, more than ever, they should be prepared.
Most of the increase in military spending will be with Japanese companies. Japan is not like Saudi Arabia, as in the past they have a massive industrial base.
Don't u know that Japan is the richest country in Asia, only china is the 2nd.. 🤔
industral base but aging population and low birthrate with lack in natural resources supply , if japan want to fix their economy they need to invest more in developing countries and open doors for migirant workers but japan fear that so they will stay where they are.
what needs to Happen is we Need to get the Retards ( Government ) In the US, Europe & Japan to STOP doing Business with China!

The Japan you see today is a entirely different generation with democratic values and its people more open. Unlike the Japan in the early 20 century who was ruled by a militaristic government and focus on conquest. So whats the concern? I support Japan decision to increase its military. US is a good supporter but wont protect Japan entirely.
I don't know about more open...
You realize the Meiji restoration was rather open and diplomatic to the rest of the world before Japan decided to turn into a conquerer, right? All it takes is one change in government and the conformist population will do nothing so as not to "make waves".

Ms. Sharma: Please note that Japans' defence budget includes over $8 billion USD to maintain US military presence in Japan.
Japan belongs to the USA
@@fredgordonherbert6394 Your thumbnail perfectly matches your comment.
Japan has no real army but a self defense force so paying the US 8 billion annually is a Good Choice. Specially now that Snake with Steroids china is becoming a threat to the region.
@@grvc44 I would agree with you generally regarding the JSDF. They have proven themselves to be a solely defensive force for more than 70 years. The general populace may not agree regarding the presence of a foreign military on its' soil. Especially one that is regularly granted immunity from prosecution for crimes committed on Japanese soil.

@@michaelearlgrey With the way America is heading now, wouldn't be shocked if Japan and India will be protecting America in 100 years. I know it sounds unrealistic, but the United States will likely be 4 or 5 countries in the far future.
Yes US and NATO will ofcource be around and stand strong With Japan and all that is with us!
USA has a strong pull out game. They proved with miss afghani
Japanese like me always worry about our security both *IN and OUT* as the tensions rise near in our territory they launched 2 missiles.We want to be safe and protect ourselves here in Japan so l agree to militarized our Military here.(Translated)
Japan will be fine. Such a nice country too
Go Japan there's no other way to protect oneself
United States will curb stomp anyone who attacks japan.
Don't worry, US is there.
The U.S. has military and air force bases in Japan. If anyone is going to be attacked, it's those bases. And if those bases get attacked.... The attackers will only be remembered in the history books.
“To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.” -George Washington
Original quote is in Latin "Si vis pacem, para bellum" Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, Roman General.
Translation "if you want Peace, prepare for War"
Arm yourselves well, Japan. You have the right to self-defense, my hope is you'll never have to use what you have. I hope for peace, but we should all prepare ourselves for the latter. Maybe one day we won't need these weapons and armies anymore. I hope for peace, I hope the world does too.
What’s going on with Japan’s pacifist constitution is that the US made it part of the surrender terms, as we didn’t think we could trust them with a military after WWII. Years later, Japan and the US are allies, and the US figures it can trust them with a military, as them not having one means America has to take up the slack, militarily. So even though pacifism is written down in their constitution, Japan not having a military was part of their deal with the US, and the US is completely fine with them breaking it. This causes the strange situation of Japan having a military but refusing to call it a military.
70 years has been enough time for Japan to prove itself and earn the world's trust. I have no problem with them arming themselves.
Needed comment. 👍
Japan never apologised for WWII. They altered school books about their part (like war crimes) in the war. US even installed class A war criminals as PM and government in order to prevent communism. Their descendents now run the government & they worship annually at a shrine for war criminals (imagined a shrine for Hilter in Germany where their PM visit annually!). So asian countries have misgivings about this given the horrendous atrocities committed during WWII.
Japan is still in occupation by US with around 100 bases there. They are trying to get full independence which is understandable. The problem is will they go straight back to being imperial Japan and not learn from the past (given real history has not been taught to generations of kids). Or will they allow themselves being use as proxy by US for fighting China.
It was USA whose initiative to allow Japan have military this was talked as early as 60's i think.
They aren't perfect, but given current and prospective future Chinese power, we could use another strong military on our team, so it's worth the low chance that it could all go south.
Territorial disputes with Japan??
A country that literally took.. almost all of Asia,
67 years ago
All of Asia? Is that a joke? Asia is huge, Japan barely managed to take south east asia and parts of china.
Germany on the other hand nearly wiped out Britain, french and Russians.
Well that was 67 years ago. We are talking China, Russia, North Korea, Pakistan, and Iran here.
Oh yeah? So did Europeans before that, enslaving and exploiting entire world
@@ElonMasks well, soon this would be 60 years ago
@@jockjockin9589 most of Asia knock it off! You know what I'm talking about. They took Taiwan China korea, Vietnam the Philippines be quiet.
Japan was one hell of a capable enemy in WW2; I hope they can be as capable as an Ally to the West, and that we (the West) will be as good an Ally to Japan; they have earned our trust since 1945.
Good for Japan.. I’m looking forward to see a modern Japanese military.
Pacifism and weakness attracts invasions.
no, pacifism and strength protects against invasions. Military zombification causes invasions.
A lot of things happened in 1971. Like the founding of the World Economic Forum.

Pacifism was a historical necessity. It's a different world now. It has to defend itself from China, North Korea and Russia
Yeah, we would love to Japan armed itself again, and hopefully invade Asia again🎉
Never heard of Japan being referred to as a "pacifist" nation, and it doesn't really make sense either because they've already got a strong SDF.
well Ireland is a neutral country to Russia has opened our eyes to fact we need a bigger military.
has nothing to do with Ukraine and stuff like that they planning to have military drills next to Ireland so I can see exactly where Japan is coming from
Why it takes so long to open your eyes?:) Vietnam, Iraq, Libya....?

@Voltar123 Starman456 bruh... Coastal region is the big deal in China , almost every big city are in there , middle or the western part are the desert region , most of the major cities today are in coastal region like Beijing, Shanghai, etc...
Also, Indians have fighting spirit that's why we gain independence from Brits and today are world's largest Democracy not like China whose people are still today living without freedom.
.
After the Second World War, Japan turned itself into a faithful dog to USA helping his boss to watch Asian country. if one day India rebel aganst the usa this dog will bite india as well Whether you like China or not, China is a respectable country.. China fought against us a in economic, political military aspects he never failed. And he damaged the USA badly. The crippled Economy in the USA was caused mainly by China.
@@arpitchauhan4686 indian democracy is doom in its own way and China is going on its Asian principles of rules and regulations that don't let mass to be fucked up like murikan.

Japan have the right to ensure the safety of their own people. A Country shouldn't be afraid to use military force when necessary if diplomacy fails. A Country, in their right mind will not go to war with another country and should and must have a strong military force and should the need arises.
@John Brower WW2 is a tragic. Japan now is a democracy despite still having a monarch. The past is past. We can't change it but we can learn from it.
@John Brower This is about Japan. Like Germany, they have a history they are not proud of. Democracy isn't perfect even in my own country.
@John Brower Maybe. But if Japan want to ditch pacificism in order to survive and in self defense, it's their right. Their country is basically in the crossfire.

Palki is a great comedian... Japan is allowed to increase its military budget to a certain level where it's no longer acceptable to NATO powers, and Japan needs to stop there!
Anyway, the military arms will be purchased from the West, which is another joke...🤣
But which history? For every example of over militarization you can find there are many more examples of states that neglected their defense and were then overrun or conquered.
Yes. See those foreign countries like Japan, USA,, Europe all have attacked and occupied China in early years. Not even one not even one country protect China at that time. That's why China have and need protect itself . China current spending is so little when compared with the USA. US already have a great fleets of 11 carrier group and hundreds of military base around the world.

There you go supporting war crimes. I thought you guys are against that? Japan invaded China and kill millions of people, raped women and kill kids.
Considering their economy is shrinking...it's a great move
It will generate employment n they can sell their tech to other nations in future
Japanese engineering n electronics is already top notch ...might as well excel in military tech 👏👏👏👏👏
Actually it isn't. The funds for military spending are raised from tax payers. If Governments could use public spending to prevent economic problems why don't they just spend the money on health, eduction and infrastructure. Military spending does absolutely nothing to enhance or improve the quality of human existence, quite the opposite. The vast majority of the hardware produced is never actually used. It's an industry based on fear.
@@rogerhearn5243 Japan ranks highly mentioned in all sectors except military infra..

Thanks to China 🤷. Knowing how High Tech Japan is, they will probably have the most sophisticated drone army in the world.
I really appreciate the quality of this NEWS team being put on
I welcome our Japanese friends decision to once again become a potent military power. Playing dumb and sticking to their self proclaimed pacifism in the face of the ever growing threat and massive rearmament of China, would be like signing your death sentence. There's only one step Japan should never cross and that is developing nuclear weapons given that Japan is under a nuclear umbrella of the United States. Every other weapon system is welcomed and will probably be developed. Most important weapon systems Japan doesn't have but should buy or develop in great numbers are long range offensive ground attack missiles. Everything from the air launched to ground to sea launched. Japan has the ability and access to US missiles. From the high tech stealthy air launched JASSM to the venerable Tomahawk cruise missiles that fit perfectly in the Mark 41 VLS tubes aboard the Japanese destroyers. Very soon US Army will deploy the new ground launched hypersonic missile named the Dark Eagle. But given that this will be an extremely expensive missile Japan should probably buy soon to be deployed PrSm missile that will be able to be fired from the HIMARS trucks. With over 500 km range it would be a perfect system to knock out Chinese coastal targets as well as any naval vessel brave enough to sail close to Okinawa.

God bless Japan and the Japanese people. They see what happened to Ukraine and they're worried about China trying to invade them, like Russia did Ukraine earlier this year.

All peaceful countries have the right to defend themselves. This is the way things should be. It's just the world we live in.
True
Basically.
Sanctions are such a bummer!!!!
But it's very interesting to learn on Switzerland's border security measures
Earth is a very small planet. I can be in Tokyo in about 12 hours. Why oh why can’t we all live in peace and spend those billions on something else? Just imagine how beautiful life would be.
My fathers side of the family all live in Japan except for him as he is now a US citizen and has been for many years but I often worry about my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. I am American born and raised but I have visited Japan a couple of times and seen for myself how friendly and welcoming they are to Americans. I’m glad to see these two countries trusting one another and working together. The US, Japan, Australia, and S. Korea would be one hell of a force to reckon with on that side of the world, kinda like a NATO of the Pacific.

They started this move 4 years ago good for Japan
It's all smoke and screens, the real purpose for the budget is to be spent developing Gundam.

Awesome!! Its about time.
Japan should be self reliant on defence and space tech ...
It should avoid dependence on US for its security any more ...
Good! Go Japan!
Japan should ditch pacifism. Otherwise China will take over its Islands if Japan does not become aggressive
But if they do become aggressive that will only spurn on Chinese aggression and military spending and may prompt China to strike sooner while Japan is unprepared. Japan is so far behind at this point it would be several years before they could really put up a real fight.

They already make "stealthified" F-16s and F-15s, so does Korea. They will also get there faster than a U.S. Carrier Group will. The Reagan is stationed in Japan. There's usually one training off of CA and HI and one in port in San Diego. The Japanese will have 5 STOLV Carriers and the Koreans will have two STOLV Carriers.

Another good show. One of the most tragic events in the Poet-WWII world was Truman abandoning Chiang and the Nationalists. His actions resulted in Communist takeover of China, and that led to the wars in Vietnam and Korea. Those issues still haunt us today. If anyone wants to learn more see my work Fatal Flaws Book 2 1945-1974.
With Russia literally marching into sovereign nations, and China poised to jump in as well, yes, now is a good time to increase defense spending.

Japan was the only country that had invaded and occupied other Asian countries in less than 100 years ago. It should be the neighbouring countries that feel threatened by it.

@@beastmode6225 that means you clearly know nothing about communism , read the works of Engels and Marx first then talk about who's communist or not, China abandoned communism way before you have seen the world .
BUILDING A BIG ARMY BUT JAPAN as a demographic problem; less BABIES :(
who needs babies when u have robots
well Japan has just islands, it is not much room to expands a population anyway, they just need to make sure that the demographic remains constant.
That whole east asia area (China, Korea and Japan) is facing this problem
Japan has a population of 125 million... Around 10 million less then the UK and France combined... 42 million more people then Germany... They arent going to be hurting on manpower if someone decides to attack them...
@@GearHedd majority of the population are senior citizens
Nice
About time....
Japanese pacifism was based on consideration for neighbors and the premise that US Forces would help them. Now these have become uncertain, JP govt have to respond to the situation.
Now all of a sudden Japan must brace for impact. The stage is set. All their apocalyptic anime movies are desperately yearning to shed a sense of foreboding. The Japanese Animated Classic Akira erupts with sparks of nostalgia.. Could this really be the end of Tokyo?
Not unless a giant Kaiju staggers out of the ocean!
One of the best News Channels on UA-cam!
Rather comically, the US defense budget is more like a retainer agreement, and then if you want the military to do anything, that's extra.
As an American I find it really annoying. I'd love to see our defense spending fall by $100Billion and use that money to pay down our debt and fund important work here at home. We can afford to do both!
But on the other hand, you don't maintain a dozen carrier battle groups for free. And you don't have a black bag of tricks to pull things like stealth bombers out of if you don't keep investing every year. Even when it looks completely wasteful. I still think we could pull it off for less than $800B/year... but it's a balancing act.
@@markpukey8 Look at it as a jobs program.
@@rleslie66 lol. I actually don't have an issue with a jobs program. I just want it to be an EFFICIENT jobs program! I'd also like to see AmeriCorp beefed up considerably. Let's give our young adults a place to serve America that's not military, and can give them some skills training and, even more important, exposure to their peers from around the country!
One of the ways military service can benefit people is that no matter how provincial you are, or where you are from, you are forced to get along with and work alongside people you don't always agree with. It is one thing that can take some of the edge off our hyper-partisan country. It helped after WW II, and I think it would help again today.
I personally think a strong India, Vietnam and Japan can stabilize China expansion. Don't underestimate Vietnam, historically they been a pain in the ass for China and from what I know they are not too fond of China.
We are going to sell Brahmos to Vietnam 🇻🇳.
"China expansion" China has fought 1 war in the past 50 years lmfao
About time.
Support Japan from India,long live japaaaan
Given the hostility of China and the threat of North Korea, it's well past time for Japan to show it's got its own claws and teeth and is ready to to fight for itself and its people.
From 1800s this world fell , robbers and murderers wrote the script and manipulated everything and Japan is one among them.
That includes Mao's Reign in China and the current CCP!
How did the world fall in the 1800’s? Robbers and murderers always wrote the script
Time always changes. It doesn't remain same.
Let’s goooo!
This is extremely good 😊 Japan 🇯🇵 needs to have a military instead of depending on America 🇺🇲
All Hail the Empire of Japan 🇯🇵
