RE: Living as Japanese

and is still an American colony. Now that Japan is a member of the Western side, Japanese leaders can't say no to America, and they are buying a lot of American fighter planes. Isn't this a violation of the spirit of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, which vows to never wage war again?

yes indeed, it's amazing how many costco stores are here now, it is becoming more and more a US colony. But back to the weapons, Japan could make the best weapons in the world but I guess that is against the treaty, but buying is ok.

Interestingly I read somewhere that Al-Qaeda is now working for the USA on the ground in Ukraine. My how the tables have turned and turned again.

Sort:  

I'm a Sendai citizen, but there are so many Starbucks around Sendai Station that people from Tokyo are surprised. It's true that Japan is one of the world's great manufacturing nations, so it would be dangerous to have Japan make weapons. But now, they are already making weapons parts and selling them overseas.

I looked up Al-Qaeda.

An international terrorist organization mainly composed of Sunni Muslims who advocate Islamism. It was formed in 1988 during the Soviet-Afghan war by Osama bin Laden and his comrades who participated in the resistance movement against the Soviet army.

I wonder why they committed the 9/11 terrorist attacks when Al-Qaeda and the US are closely tied together. And they're on good terms with the United States again. It's strange.
