KCNA commentary on dangerous military collusion between war criminal states

Date: 16/07/2024 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source

Japan has crossed the red line in its rash military acts to disturb regional peace and stability in collusion with outside forces.

Prime Minister Kishida visited Germany and had talks 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 talks, 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 defense minister openly said "the Japan visit by armies of various nations is a demonstration of their interest in the Indo-Pacific region and capabilities."

Japanese SDF also plans 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 Nazi Germany formed a military alliance with militaristic Japan and inflicted catastrophic disasters upon humankind.

It is a 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 an open 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 US since its defeat.

The Japanese "SDF" took part in Freedom Edge, the first multi-domain joint military exercises between the US, Japan and the ROK 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 the Japanese military with over-expanded "defense capabilities".

But the fundamentally changed, new mechanical structure in the region and the strengthened anti-imperialist forces opposed to the hegemonic strategy of the US have turned on a red light for Japan that seeks a chance for launching 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 the 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 East Asia in future".

Will Japan be safe when regional security is destroyed?

It 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 also cool their heated heads and think twice.

The region is neither a "muscle-flexing ground" for bragging of one's strength nor an arena for NATO's "crusade."

Gatecrashers from NATO had better mind their own business, instead of crossing the boundaries.
