Japan's military moves most likely to break regional stability

Date: 22/04/2021 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source

Recently, Japan deployed a new type of Aegis warship Haguro at Sasebo Port under the pretext of "ballistic missile interception".

As a result, four of the eight Aegis-class warships of the Maritime Self-Defence Force have been deployed at Sasebo Port not far away from the Korean peninsula.

It is the same old stereotype of Japan to throw the international and regional situation into confusion by hyping up "threat" from its surroundings and, by taking advantage of it, step up the development and deployment of military hardware.

Besides the military drills to cope with "threat" from the DPRK, Japan is planning to deploy F-35B stealth fighters that are expected to be used on the aircraft carrier-class escort ship Izumo at Nyutabaru Base in the near future on the pretext of tackling "China's recapture of its remote islands".

The problem is that Japan's arms buildup is not aimed at "defusing threat" touted by its politicians but attaining dangerous goals.

The "joint combat capability system" installed in the recently deployed new-type Aegis ship, technical specifications of F-35B and others definitely run counter to the principle of “exclusive defence” stipulated in the current Japanese constitution. They clearly reveal the deceptive nature of the story about "threat" much touted by Japan and its sinister design to "dominate the East".

The ceaseless development and production of military equipment like the building of a new-type submarine and escort ship and concentration of combat-ready troops of the Self-Defence Forces one after another in attack positions and key places of the archipelago like Sasebo Port and Nyutabaru Base favourable for launching continental invasion shed light on the danger of Japan's ambition to carry out overseas reinvasion promptly in contingency.

All facts prove that Japan is a serious threat to regional peace and stability.

Korean and other peoples in the region will never overlook the reckless moves of the criminal nation to inflict misfortune and pain on humankind again as it did in the last century.

Japan should give up its foolish daydream and dismantle all offensive weapons deployed under the excuse of coping with regional situation in a complete, verifiable and irreversible way.
