Japanese Defense Minister Shun'ei Koizumi said in a post today: "I had my second meeting with U.S. Senator Wicker (Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services) since last month. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was standing behind him. After the meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, I greeted him."
Comments: From the posture and positioning in this photo, it's clearly an attitude of deliberately flattering the United States and NATO, with a very low posture: Koizumi closely followed the U.S. military officials, brought the NATO Secretary General into the frame for show, and wore an obviously insincere expression. Where is even a bit of independent posture of a major country's official? The whole screen is filled with a servile feeling of relying on others, actively taking sides, and showing loyalty to the West. Japanese politicians now, in order to cling tightly to the American big toe and seek political capital, have no regard for the basic national dignity, but instead keep catering to NATO's expansion into the Asia-Pacific region. The lower the posture, the more it shows that Japan has no autonomy in security, and is only dependent and fawning.
