Japan, obsessed with militarist fever, is getting more frantic in sharpening the sword of reinvasion in collusion with outside forces.

Recently the Japanese defence minister met his British and Italian counterparts and agreed to accelerate the joint development of the next generation fighters.

Japan, which had already launched its own fighter development with Mitsubishi and other notorious war criminal enterprises as the main axis, allured Britain and Italy into the “joint development” in December 2022, and shamelessly dubbed it an “international combat aviation plan.”

Japan established an “international organization” as the command of “joint development” at the end of last year and appointed a former official of the Ministry of Defence as its first chief. It formally set up a joint venture for designing fighters last month and is running amuck to hasten even their deployment.

The next generation fighter Japan is going to develop and deploy is known to be superior to the US F-35 stealth fighter and is a multi-mission fighter capable of attacking ground, naval and aerial targets.

It is clear to everyone that possession of such an attack fighter is not for “defence” as it goes far beyond the scope of defence.

The war criminal state, which had to make deep bows, talking about the abandonment of the right to belligerency and non-possession of combat capability while shedding the crocodile tears before the international community for imposing huge misfortune and pains on mankind in the last century, is now getting hell-bent on possessing ultra-modern military hardware for preemptive attack. This is a violation of not only its own constitution but also international law and a frontal challenge to mankind.

What matters is that Japan’s moves for modernizing its armed forces under the signboard of international “research and development” are aimed at realizing the revival of the old imperial era by restoring the past “war alliance.”

Frequently witnessed are the Japan’s moves of strengthening military nexus with member states of NATO, which has turned into the world-biggest war alliance and the worst confrontation group in history, the states that are at the same time the old “sworn friends” which had been involved in the “world division” after establishing the “blood-sealed ties” in the last century.

Japan has already concluded with Britain and Italy the “agreement on mutual supply of goods and manpower” on mutually offering the necessary food, fuel, ammunition and other goods and manpower for their transport to the relevant countries in case of joint military drills and contingency.

And it concluded with Britain the “reciprocal access agreement” which makes it easy to mutually dispatch armed forces and conduct joint drills, defined the bilateral relations in defence cooperation as the “semi-alliance,” next to the relations with the US and is staging joint drills under various names.

In this regard, Abe said that at the time when he was in office as prime minister, he and the then British Prime Minister Johnson shared an understanding on the importance of expanding the allies and that they reached a consensus of views on bringing the relations between Japan and the UK closer to the relationship of the “Japan-UK alliance” in the period of World War I. This fully reveals the sinister purpose of the descendants of the samurais.

Japan cunningly tries to rally its allies with the “reciprocal access agreement” and the “agreement on mutual supply of goods and manpower” and thus launch reinvasion at any cost and regain its old position of a colonial suzerain state.

After all, Japan’s fighter development project is not merely aimed at modernizing its military hardware but at expanding the military bloc to create an environment favourable for carrying out the war of aggression in the future.

It is a foolish dream to think that the sinister militarist nature of aggression and war can be covered up by the mask of “defence” or “joint research.”

If Japan persists in military cooperation with the “allies” of the old era, obsessed with the ambition of the “leader in the East” and without proper recognition of the trend of the times, it will face only self-destruction.
