Irony of Severe Dependence on the U.S. by Those Opposed to Security Bills

Under the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, the U.S. military members are for all practical purposes mercenary soldiers for Japan. In a major policy error, the U.S. disbanded the Japanese military, but the real enemy was Communist forces. When they came to this realization, it was too late.


It is unusual to have foreign military forces permanently stationed in a country after that country has regained sovereignty, but this was unavoidable. During the 70 years following the war, the U.S. military has shouldered much of the burden for Japan’s defense which under normal circumstances should have been borne by Japan.


Those opposed to the proposed security-related bills say “We have been protected for 70 years. Let’s have the U.S. continue protecting us.” They have a severe case of morbid, selfish, parasitical dependence on the U.S. for which they feel no shame.


Over the years, the government and the Diet have also neglected to make the efforts necessary to turn Japan into a truly independent nation. As a result, a large number of Japanese have forgotten the abnormality and embarrassment of being a half-independent nation, and conversely enjoy the comfort of being pampered.


In terms of geography and history, even an elementary school child should be able to understand that the main player who should stand against a late-comer imperialist nation, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), is Japan.

In the event of a war with the PRC, which has begun serious efforts to take over Okinawa, that war would be Japan’s war. If Japan does not increase its level of deterrence, the U.S. will be drawn into a Japanese war.


As in the example of Republican U.S. presidential candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump, it can be expected that there will be an increase in the number of Americans who question the significance of the one-sided defense responsibility for Japan and Korea borne by the U.S.


If the U.S. military were to withdraw from Japan, there is no doubt that the possibility of aggression against Japan would increase. I read on the internet an opinion article which said “Like the Philippines, Japan has no energy or mineral resources, so it would be less susceptible to invasion by another country.” This is an insanely empty theory.


If the writer of this argument were asked to choose whether he would like to receive a high-rise building or the same amount of natural resources, would he choose the natural resources?


Other than natural resources, Japan has everything else. If someone were to take over Japan, besides airports, harbor facilities, railroads, highways, power plants, factories and other infrastructure, it would come into possession of airplanes, ships, vehicles, construction equipment, industrial robots, and to top it off, the manpower to operate them.


The leaders of the invading country and their families could live the most culturally advanced life in the world in Tokyo. Or they could travel Japan and enjoy hot springs to their hearts’ content.


In addition, the invading country could use the best facilities and manpower in the world to manufacture the highest quality products. They would probably order the manufacture of weapons, including nuclear weapons. The Japanese people would become virtual slaves like the Tibetans and Uighurs.


Heiwa boke [people who take continued peace and stability for granted] do not understand the value of Japan and the Japanese people. I am shocked at their total lack of imaginative faculty.
