Japan vs. The Islamic State

  • Опубликовано: 5 мар 2015
  • The brutal beheadings of Japanese nationals Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa by the Islamic State in January have shocked the island nation and lent momentum to an effort to expand the limitations imposed on its constitution and military after its defeat by the United States in World War II.
    Leftists in Japan fear that the incident will encourage a departure from the country's pacifist constitution, whose Article 9 states that "the Japanese people forever renounce… the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes." Right-wingers, meanwhile, see an opportunity to allow Japan to assert itself as a truly sovereign state.
    VICE News reports from Japan as its prime minister and right wing are pushing for re-militarization of the pacifist nation, amid protests from the left who staunchly oppose any changes to Article 9 of the constitution.

They have the raw materials and the infrastructure to do so. This does not make them weak. Also, the JGSDF is small, but technologically worthy. Are you so uneducated, that you do not understand the reasoning behind the reliance on the USA for military protection? A hint, it has something to do with WWII, smart guy.

Be creating a hostile, war-like environment, and destroying a completely stable region of the world, and funding rebels to fight against a government that doesn't agree with your "democracy", you've created the perfect environment for a militant group. Not to mention that the US funded the Mujahideen, who later became Al-Qaeda, part of which broke off from Al-Qaeda and became ISIS.

      You are right, Japan is allied with us now, and we make up a large part of their military considering we have more than 7 bases on Japan turf, we protect them, and supply them with natural resources like oil etc.
      Considering they are pretty much all out, and they are on an Island.
      Japan WILL be allied with us if we go to war, the only countries that would side with Russia is other communist countries, cause communism sticks together.
      Vietnam, Korea, China, Russia, and some other smaller Asian countries, and some Arab countries.
      They would lose against us, but the world would still go up in flames, we have the majority of Europe, Hispanic countries, and Canada.
      Why I say Canada!? Because if a nuke was to go off, Canada is right above us... they will be effected, also France is allied with the U.S, and most Canadians originated from France.

    Since Japan is no longer an imperialistic entity, them adopting a proper military might not be such a bad idea. Their politics are completely different and the general antiwar attitude of the people might be a healthy approach to rearming themselves. however it is their constitution and as a democracy their people should be the ones to choose that path, not the prime minister.

They also trick women (many of them from the Philippines) into prostitution and work as their pimps. I lived in Japan for three years and you'd see these guys working as touts outside seedy businesses, dressed all gaudy and acting faux tough. The Yakuza sounds all cool and menacing to people in the west but they're really just pathetic.

      If Japan start militarizing, it may set of an arms race with China, Russia, and North Korea. And their (China/Russia) traditional enemies will also join the race: like India (which will trigger Pakistan).
      In that, case ISIS will be the least of Japan's worries.

The defense of the nation is practically up to the U.S. (in my opinion this is the worst nation for that treaty), but one of the men were right, if China ever seriously attacked Japan, the U.S. would be pretty hesitant to bail them out. I would say Japan's SDF could take on North Korea alone, but South Korea would probably help regionally. To me Russia is the least likely to do anything against Japan for no reason. If Japan ever chose to expand it's military I do not think opinions of Japan in the U.S. would dip enough to hate them for it (I would not be surprised that with a bit a push the Security Treaty could be revised). If Japan ever wished to increase its forces now would be the best time in my opinion.

      namn If you're stupid and ignorant then why even bother to make a ignorance-based statement? Ali is an arab name, one that is quite popular among arabs as a whole, be it Shias or Sunnis. It's funny how you call someone an idiot when obviously you are the "idiot".

    • @sereysothe.a
      @sereysothe.a 9 лет назад +6

      Atheistmonk lol the irony. you act like you know what your talking about.
      i AM a shia. my cousin lives in an arab country. my parents are from a country which is majority sunni (pakistan). the pakistani community where i live includes many sunnis as well as many many shias.
      and also, i have met my fair share of sunni arabs as well as even more shia arabs.
      i can tell you. a majority of the time someone named ali will be a shia. ali is the name of the first shia imam and the 4th caliph of the rashidun caliphate who's descendants were the 12 shia imams.
      now maybe now and then a sunni arab may have the name ali, but a vast majority of the time it will be a shia. there are other mostly shia-exclusive names as well. like jafar, kazim, reza, hassan, hussain.
      (there are other shia names but the ones i listed are ones that are hugely common among shias i have never met a sunni with them.)
      so before you call someone and idiot make sure you know what you are talking about.
      you stupid fucking *idiot*

      Absolutely false. Sure, when they provide opinions they may be biased, which is why people should look at reports instead of listening to media like vice, fox news, TYT etc. There are thousands of terrorist attacks in countries all around the world, including my own. When people get executed on television, racism rises, resistance groups are formed, election results change, etc. This can not go on without serious consiquenses (sorry for possible shit spelling). The horrors arising from the middle east especially are not minor groups popular in the media, in fact i would say they are larger than people like to think.
      I suggest looking at the numbers rather than the media it self. People hold quite disturbing views, in LARGE numbers, and it is now effecting the west, in the form of extremism as well as non violent movements striving for sharia law, and so on.

He doesn't want to use the deaths of his countrymen to fill up his agenda, but he certainly doesn't want it to happen to others. The left-wing has a point as well, since Abe could use the revising of Article 9 to be able to use the Japanese military in Foreign Operations, which would be too radical for Japanese Politics (not for us, but for them).
    Even so, the Japanese Military needs an assortment of equipment to aid their operations overseas, and this would cost money; a lot of it, and with the woe economy of Japan... I highly doubt the actions undertaken in such a short time.

    Japan should re-arm. Every country has the right to defend itself and have a military. We didn't dismantle the German & Italian militaries after WWII, so it really feels like Japan has been singled out. And also, there will definitely be some heart-burn from the Chinese about this that will need to be sorted out.
    The delicate balance between imperialism and pacifism can be difficult, but other countries all over the world have found it and I am confident Japan can too. It should re-militarize while recognizing and understanding the lessons of history and determined not to make the same mistakes again.

      Well, if that's the goal, they've got a lot of catching up to do. 15,000 warheads and 80 years worth of atmospheric ballistic missile research, to be precise.

      +Raptor302 Yes we did, Germany could only build motorcycles after WWII. Get real. We armed Stalin of course, then spent 70 years keeping the Soviets from Europe which was the reason Hitler moved against them in 1941 - and failed. You really think Stalin was a kind leader = no concentration factory death camps - Stalin didn't need them. He was given the bomb by utopian intellectuals who thought it would be a good idea to help "humanity". Actually, it did, atomic bombs actually stopped big wars. We are the experts in little wars - money makers.

      SassyHershsey SassyHershey Okay, they were dismantled after WWII and then re-established a decade later in 1955. My point being that they didn't adopt a pacifist constitution that spanned over half a century.
      I admire the Japanese pacifist ideals, but complete pacifism is foolishness. Everyone has to protect their own backyard, and America has spent enough time and money covering for Japan.

    This has to be one of the most balanced and unsensationalized Vice docs I've ever seen. Thanks for showing both sides of the coin.
