Last week, Shigeru Ishiba became Japan's 4th PM in as many years after he won the LDP's unpredictable leadership election. But now that he's in power, how might he shape the future of Japanese politics? And could he push the creation of an "Asian NATO"?

Article 9th doesn't say anything about building Gundam and since he is a military otaku, I believe he will initiate the project secretly.
He arrived too late, the giant Gundam statue has already been dismantled 😞
Now he has to start from scratch.
This comment gave me a brain anurism ahahah
@@yyyy-uv3po dont worry, that's just a prototype.
In a multipolar world, the only hope for mid and small countries are alliances.
An ‘Asian NATO’ already existed until the 70s: SEATO. It didn’t last partially for the reasons a new one isn’t likely now.
Lack of unity over China policies, the fact that most countries other than japans new leader don’t want one, and because given all the other global challenges at the moment, trying to establish, fund and sustain such multilateral alliance isn’t practical for many. Plus we shouldn’t compare NATO to one in Indo-Pacific as they’d be very different in operations, size and scope.
More likely you’ll more ‘minilateral’ efforts, like the trilateral security pact between USA Japan and South Korea or AUKUS.
Third world south east Asia nations are too corrupt and dysfunctional.
SEATO was never intended to be a NATO like entity. It was not even really a military alliance per-se. Sec of State Dulles essentially wanted to use SEATO to revive the "Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere" under the auspices of the US. It's association with NATO primarily came from contemporary news coverage and the use of the acronym which naturally invited comparison.
Also, conditions in the region are very different now, and it is not totally outlandish to consider a multilateral alliance akin to NATO viable. Still, it seems that the era of large multilateral alliances is over for Americans.
There's definitely some room for a SK-Japan-Australia-US pact, but even then that's strained over Japan every now and then pissing off the South Koreans by honouring actual war criminals or going "some of the comfort women probably enjoyed it" you know, things that might annoy an occupied nation(s).
But you're right, even keeping together the ANZUS pact is hard enough between the US and NZ not seeing eye-to-eye over nuclear weapons;
You also have 'the Quad' (Japan+Inda+US+Aus) and 'Quad plus' (+Others) which aren't security pacts of any kind, but as you said, plagued with each nation having separate issues regarding China, & Aus (+Brazil) being heavily dependent on trade with the Chinese economy.
@@benisboop viable is quite open ended term. Course it has viability, but the appetite to upkeep such an entity just isn’t there
China was poor back then. That's why it failed. Now they actually have a reason to exist.
You better call it NPTO and this reminds me of the failed cold-war era SEATO
IPTO, Indo-Pacific Treaty Organization
Pacific defense pact, PDP
Yeah but half the proposed member countries ain't in the North Pacific...
@@TheAmericanPrometheus Yes that fits better if India is a member, otherwise it should be PPTO (Pan-Pacific Treaty Organization)
or just PTO or PATO for Pacific Treaty Organization if India or Pakistan don't become members.
Indo-Pacific Treaty Organization.
I'm all for defensive pacts!
We love him 🇰🇷🇯🇵🇰🇷🇯🇵🇰🇷🇯🇵
Wrong flag.......💀💀💀 (it's gonna be the war flag and an awkward situation, especially with my korean grandpa saluting the flag)
I'm Japanese, and I'm cautiously optimistic that this all works out...
WHERE IS NEW ZEALAND ON THE THUMBNAIL?
many such cases
poster isnt linked in on website yet
As a defense Otaku myself, I can't wait to see my kankore girls in action 🥹
Kancolle, Magnificent Kotobuki and Girls und Panzer otakus eating good
an interesting proposal, but south Korean membership will be tricky. there's no way Seoul would accept Japanese Troop presence on its soil.
Korea wouldn't need Japanese troops with it's current (and future) military. The actual question is, could Japan tolerate Korean troops on ITS' soil!? Japan is more likely to be invaded by China than Korea. Also, South Korea along with the US could probably repulse a North Korean invasion without any ground help from Japan.
as an australian, becoming more independent from america may have its issues.
Bro why's your studio so dark
His opinion on Japan US relation would be called a conspiracy theory in Germany.
Oh god, Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere having a sequel 💀💀
A good version of it 😁
@@catalinturcanu8698with the same flag
I don't see this working as the nations people don't share a history or be willing to die for each other. That or i'm just a bitter kiwi feeling left out
I don't know, but It's OCTO or ASEAN version of NATO
I mean its kinda unlikely cause 1. Besides the US views on such a thing theres also the views of other nations like india.
India said they dont want to participate in a « Asian Nato » recently preferring to remain neutral in the region. Afterall they have good ties with russia and somewhat okayish with china, despite the skirmishes.
Theres also the you know the participation in the US cause the us would be the main country of such organization and considering the amoung of problems they have to deal with already it might complicate things
Sorry but did you turn off the light lmao
what is this like to dislike ratio wtf
Seems like a collection of bots got triggered by some keyword in the title
559 likes to 2 dislikes atm. Seems that the botting got resolved
It's Russian Chinese bots that don't like the prospect of a defensive alliance, because obviously we should listen to warmongerers to decide democratic interests.
Pov when koreans and philippinos will once again be commanded by the ........imperial flag.💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
He’s wise to do so but for some reason unit is hard among the Asian
*unity
So bring back Southeast Asia Treaty Organization?
SEATO! I'm down let's do it haha
a defence organisation against a country who's last proper war was in 1979...
Nice!
W SEATO
Whatever happens, it's unlikely to include Taiwan because so many countries are afraid of upsetting China...
Why is France and the UK a part of this 😂😂
Because both have colonies in the region still (French Polynesia and Diego Garcia)
Colonialism disgustingly
@@redfrostblazersince when was Diego Garcia in the Pacific Ocean 😭
They possess two of the world's three blue-water navies and global militaries: other than the US, they're just about the only countries which could reasonably be part of any alliance on Earth.
They are influenced by Chinese imperialism 😂
Asian? I think you’re looking for PACIFIC
Will it be as toothless as the actual NATO? At least he knows that Japan isn't fully independent. I wonder when the German political class will realise that, too.
Asian NATO former SEATO failed as British was exiting South East Asia as colonial power weaning and independence movements/struggles. Singapore was hosting a minimum of 24 nuke weapons at any point of time during SEATO agreement to be useful especially during Vietnam war era & $ukarno'$ ambitions...
smart guy tbh
Yes, I am sure a lot of East Asian governments would love if Japan gets nuclear weapon, it's not like they are still protesting to what happen during the WWII era and how Japan reacts to it ...
If you know what the Japanese did to the Chinese then you know why Japan is scared.
Ishiba and Trump will work very well together. Both essentially want the same thing from the US-Japan alliance: to make the relationship more symmetrical.
Trump only want 99.9% for himself. So much "symmetry".
Maybe an Asian alliance led by Japan without the US in it be more suitable to many Asians!
LOL! You must not have any Asian friends! Americans are preferred because of Japan's legacy from WW2. There are still HARD feelings towards Japan all over Asia!!! Even Vietnam, a Communist former enemy, prefers a US alliance over both Japan and France!!!😂
lol the thumbnail madem me chuckle. An Asian NATO, but exclude 70% the rest of the actual Asian
China casually speedrunning the category: "How fast can I antagonize all my neighbours?"
More like USA speedruinning how can I go into WW3?

Taiwan isn't even recognised by any of them😂
It’s people does
A natural allie for Japan is obviously the Middle Kingdom you know they literally copied them for the last idk 2000 year's 😂
Does the US really have to be part of it? Isn't it time we stop relying on one country to protect the world?
Seriously, they self declared themselves as the “police of the world” lmao
Whenever there wasn’t one country to protect a region, or the world, there’s chaos.
Napoleon and the Roman Empire for all their faults kept Europe stable for many years until both empires started to collapse.
Besides. Japan and other East Asian nations are not reliant on us like Europe is, they’re doing military spending and militarizing much better.
@@andrewrogers3067 That's correlation not necessarily causation. A more likely reason for this is a power vacuum; when a powerhouse nation collapses, every other nation scrambles to be on top, THIS as well as the fact that a massive link in the supply chain was destroyed and so there is instability for a bit. There is no reason why there couldn't be multiple pillars of the world fighting for a common cause without becoming over reliant on one monolithic pillar.
@@JustAnotherAccount8 I think he is very right about the correlation equating to causation. The idea that a multipolar world would be peaceful and collaborative is a fantasy. Throughout human history it's either been super Power peace, or many different spheres of influences with a dominant power in each one.
@@bababababababa6124 Are you under the impression that if the US stopped enforcing it's status quo, another country wouldn't come along and literally do the same thing? Besides, they didn't declare themselves "police of the world", their vastly superior military capability compared to every other nation on earth did.
No hate to Japan but people should stop treating them like innocent angels without a dark recent past.
All countries have dark pasts - if the current generation literally has no connection to the actual fighting which has occurred, then what stopping us from working with them? Us Filipinos have recognised this and that's why we're not as salty as the Chinese are regarding our foreign relations with Japan.
That does not make them way less threatening, and more reliable, than Mainland China for the rest of the pacific world. Memorial issues are obviously still there, and it's a shame Japan refuses to adress them. But from a purely defensive perspective, there's no contest for what is best for many SEA countries.
@@marcbuisson2463 Mostly just Vietnam and Philippines are pissed with China.
Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia are either friendly or neutral with China.
In fairness they literally had their entire nation and institutions destroyed and then rebuilt by the allies. While there is definitely an issue with how the Japanese often don't recognise their recent history, it's disingenuous to imply that modern japan is the same entity as the Japanese empire.
@@ChristianAnimePodcast the Chinese suffered way more than PH from Japanese, my friend, MUCH MUCH MORE . And they are a GREAT power with pride, PH is not a great power.
