The contemporary Japan is behaving like an American colony and rapidly moving towards enhanced animosity vis-à-vis Russia, China, and North Korea.

It was the US and its Allies who wrote the Japanese Constitution and made it a pseudo peace-loving nation and reduced its armed forces to merely self-defence forces. However, in reality, since the end of the Second World War, the US has been occupying Japan and deployed its massive armed forces there using it as a bulwark against Russia, China, and North Korea. It is to be remembered here that the US Navy’s 7th Fleet is deployed at the Japanese seaport of Yokosuka and its presence near Russia’s Vladivostok, China’s East China Fleet, and North Korea’s Navy raises serious concerns for Russia, China, and North Korea. The Pacific is not now and has never been the territorial waters of the US and its huge military presence in the region is highly questionable. It is quite strange that the American presence in the region is being facilitated and perhaps financed by Japan, which is again contrary to the norms and values of international affairs.
