Under Takaichi, Tokyo has moved to accelerate its remilitarization in alliance with the US under the pretext of “collective self-defense.”

More proof so that it looks like WW3 is unfortunately going to be US-China
over taiwan and provoked by the us, no less.
What is this ww2 part deux? Russia Japan the us….
oh wow this article is biased.
“The [US and Japan] are deliberately undermining the “One China” policy as a means of goading China into military action against Taiwan, in a similar manner to how the US and NATO provoked Russia into war in Ukraine.”
so this is just old ass tankies that defend Russian imperialism in Ukraine? can’t we critique a japanese escalation without saying china’s position is “right”?
edit: added missing quotation marks
us imperialism and warmongering is not okay, why do we always have to gloss over it.
okay, whataboutism.
the article here doesn’t touch on us imperialism, thats not the topic. “warmongering” is an overstatement, but not unjustly so - in the topic of south china sea and taiwan.
Sweetie, that is not glossing over it - the comment is calling out the article here as lying when it claims russia is not responsible for attacking ukraine. it’s victim blaming.
The US is an imperialistic, genocide supportive and authoritarian state that will impose it’s will globally with it’s weapons. - that is a fact. so is the fact that Russia invaded and is currently fighting a war to occupy ukraine in their imperialistic intent.
when the article above claims that us is responsible for ukraine, to say that japan and us is responsible for any agression in taiwan - then the article is saying that Russia is a good invader in fact and that a chinese invasion of taiwan is also good in fact. – which is clearly wrong as any invasion is.
you literally mentioned the US in your comment, and the article is talking about the us-supportive fascist japanese prime minister in opposition to china.
i’m not judging a country’s reaction to western political articulation in a vacuum. we are on a leftist comm.
ah, sry that’s a quote? 😅 the quote from the article
funny i don’t remember seeing any quote in your rant either
