The Korean Central News Agency released a commentary under the title "Dangerous Military Nexus of Past War Criminal Nations Aggravating the Regional Situation".
The commentary reads:
Japan has crossed the red line in its rash military acts to disturb regional peace and stability in collusion with outside forces.
Japanese Prime Minister Kishida visited Germany and had a talk with his German counterpart on July 13, where the two countries agreed to promote "military cooperation" in the Indo-Pacific region.
In a press interview after the talk, Kishida welcomed the German air force fighters and frigate's visit to Japan, saying "European Atlantic Ocean and the Indo-Pacific are inseparable in guaranteeing security".
Earlier, he took part in the NATO summit, though he had neither qualifications nor justification, to repeat the above-said assertion.
Furthermore, the Japanese Ministry of Defense is going to stage a joint drill of its air "self-defense force" and air forces from Germany, France and Spain near Hokkaido and Kanto from July 19 to 25.
With regards to the deployment of dozens of fighters from three NATO member states for the first time, the Japanese Minister of Defense openly said "the Japan visit by armies of various nations is demonstration of their interest in the Indo-Pacific region and capabilities".
Japan's "Self-Defence Forces" plan to stage a joint naval and air drill with an aircraft carrier and fighters of Italy in late August.
The prevailing dangerous situation is reminiscent of the eve of the Second World War in the past century, when fascist Germany formed a military alliance with militaristic Japan and inflicted catastrophic disasters upon humankind.
It is serious development of situation that the defeated war criminal nations are in cahoots to stage a series of war games escalating the regional tensions.
It is not a secret that Japan, gripped by its wild revanchist ambition, has stepped up its preparations for turning itself into an aggressive military entity capable of fighting a war at any time under the patronage of the United States since its defeat.
The Japanese "Self-Defence Forces" took part in "Freedom Edge", the first multi-domain joint military exercises between the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea staged in the waters near the Korean peninsula, in violation of international law and the current constitution of Japan. It clearly showed the war path to be taken by Japan's military with over-expanded "defense capabilities".
But the fundamentally changed, new mechanical structure in the region and the strengthened anti-imperialist independent forces opposed to the hegemonic strategy of the United States have turned on a "red light" against Japan that seeks a chance for making reinvasion with the backing of its master.
Stunned by the ever-weakening power of its American master distressed by the ever-worsening tide of war in Ukraine and uncontrollable Mideast crisis, Japan buckled down to tightening military alliance with NATO in a bid to seize its edge in the geopolitical showdown with its regional rivals at any cost by inviting even past war criminal nations.
It is by no means fortuitous that the Japanese Prime Minister has often said the "current Ukrainian crisis may repeat in future East Asia".
Will Japan be safe when regional security is destroyed?
Japan should be aware of the fact that its tightened military nexus with outsiders will only boomerang on it by making it a target common to the righteous regional community.
Those seeking to stage war games in the Asia-Pacific region should cool their heated heads and think twice.
The Asia-Pacific region is neither "muscle-flexing ground" for bragging of one's strength nor arena for NATO's "crusade".
Gate-crashers from NATO had better mind their own business, instead of crossing boundary.
