KCNA Commentary on Japanese Militarists' Suicidal Act

Pyongyang, March 14 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party of Japan convened its congress to decide a "policy of movement" for 2025, which shows its intention to make all efforts to realize the revision of the Constitution, pushed forward so far, at an early date.

After all, Japan has fully revealed its militaristic nature to change the constitution, the fundamentals of the state, and emerge as the worst war force threatening the region to opt for a straight course for reinvasion.

As already known, the "Pacifist Constitution", which legally guaranteed the existence of a Japanese state after the Second World War, stipulated in paragraph 1 of Article 9 the "renunciation of war" and in paragraph 2 the "ban on possession of combat capability", thus permanently formulating that Japan should no longer be a war state.

This is a "wire-netting" to tighten Japan obsessed with the old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".

Therefore, Japan has worked out lots of evil laws under various pretexts to evade the constitutional restrictions and has been keen on gradually bolstering the military capabilities of the "Self-Defense Forces" (SDF) till now for 80 years after its defeat.

Under such signboards as "rescue of overseas Japanese in case of emergency", "security of Japan", "contingencies in surrounding areas" and "cooperation in anti-terrorism", the "law on the SDF" was drastically revised several times. And different war laws avoiding the "Pacifist Constitution" such as "law on cooperation in UN peace-keeping activities", "law to deal with contingencies in surrounding areas", "law on special measures against terrorism" and "emergency legislation" were cooked up to lay a legal foundation for the dispatch of "SDF" troops to overseas.

Finally, Japan openly denied the "ban on possession of combat capability", claiming that "it is not the purport of the Constitution to sit and wait for death in case there is no other means". And it has stepped up the improvement of the capabilities of the "SDF" for aggression by spending a huge amount of money.

Recently, it planned to introduce hundreds of attack drones into the "SDF" for the first time and is mulling purchasing a U.S.-made large transport plane for the rapid transport of its aggression forces.

After all, the "Pacifist Constitution", made up of such words as "renunciation of war" and "ban on possession of combat capability", is nothing but a line of letters on a sheet of paper and Japan has already turned into a war state possessed of full-fledged aggression forces.

It's just a matter of time to formally revise the obsolete "Pacifist Constitution" into a "war constitution". Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Japan's advance into overseas aggression is decided by the time the war criminal state sets.

What should not be overlooked is that Japan, which has buckled down to the U.S. political and military confrontation moves against the DPRK, is trying to orient its first reinvasion towards the Korean peninsula.

In January last, Japan desperately took part in a three-party joint air drill with the U.S. and the puppet ROK in the sky near the Korean peninsula. In March it is trying to stage joint naval drill in waters off the Korean peninsula with them again.

Japan is dashing for a war again after sweeping its past crimes under the carpet with the passage of time. This is little short of repeating the history of its defeat by itself.

Time will soon prove that the act of changing the fundamentals of the state is a self-destructive act. -0-
