Ukraine war is a heaven sent opportunity for Japan’s right

(Source 호사카유지TV/ OhMyNewsTV May 2) “우크라 전쟁은 하늘이 준 기회”... 아베가 다시 움직인다
Professor Hosaka Yuji, "Ukraine war is a heaven sent opportunity"...Abe is on the move again. Picture shows Abe giving a speech on constitutional revision at a venue in his Yamaguchi Prefecture district, April 3. Abe has been stumping for the Constitution revision to remove Art 9 restrictions on Japanese self defense forces to permit offensive warfare capabilities, like a "normal country."

The professor who is an analyst of Korean-Japanese relations and Japanese politics goes on to describe how the far right elements of the LDP (whose views are typically carefully screened from western view by compliant English language media) see the future conflicts with Russia and China requiring a solid military alliance with the US with greater Japanese military contribution and the encouragement of greater international support in Asia against Russia and China. This Japanese view anticipates an outcome from the ongoing conflict and perhaps additional future wars, providing the groundwork for a new international system, either in the UN or similar international institution arising in the aftermath of conflict, in which Japan is elevated to Security Council status among the victorious states, while great powers like Russia and China are replaced or excluded. The process requires Japan to abandon its three non-nuclear principles along with the current Constitution’s rejection of the use of war to resolve international disputes. An interim objective would be to have Japan join the AUKUS nuclear oriented military alliance in lieu of the Quad which appears to be faltering as a basis of an anti-Russian or anti-China military alliance due to India’s equivocation demonstrated clearly in the context of the Ukrainian war. The Japanese right sees Japan as leaving behind for all time, its history as a “war criminal nation,” (which it denies in its revisionist view of history as an unfair stigma undermining Japanese pride as a people). So in the LDP’s right wing ideological vision it’s time to abandon the San Francisco Treaty system to join the ranks of the future victors in a new world order in the war against China and Russia.
