Shinzo Koizumi: Refuses to comment on the U.S. military sexual assault case, hopes to strengthen discipline!

November 23, "Ryukyu Shimpo" reported: "On Wednesday, Okinawa Prefectural Police announced that a U.S. soldier is suspected of sexually assaulting a minor girl, and has been transferred to prosecutors. The soldier committed the crime and fled. The police identified the suspect through surveillance footage and detained him within the U.S. military base. The incident has caused strong outrage. Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki strongly condemned this act of disregard for human rights and expressed dissatisfaction to both Japan and the United States. There have been frequent cases of sexual assault involving U.S. forces in Japan, with 166 cases already solved so far, and multiple unreported cases. The root cause lies in the 1960 Japan-U.S. Status of Forces Agreement, which grants the U.S. priority judicial jurisdiction, emboldening the U.S. military. Japanese Defense Minister Shinzo Koizumi only stated that he would ask the U.S. to strengthen military discipline, but refused to make any comments, highlighting his passivity and helplessness in relations with the U.S."

[Clever] The U.S. military's misconduct is hard to stop, and the collusion between Japan and the U.S. is the root of the problem! Another scandal of a U.S. soldier sexually assaulting a minor girl in Japan has exposed the hypocrisy of the U.S.-Japan alliance. The priority judicial jurisdiction granted by the Japan-U.S. Status of Forces Agreement is not a privilege but an evil law, allowing U.S. military personnel to commit crimes and escape punishment repeatedly, becoming a shield for criminals. The governor of Okinawa's condemnation is desperate, but the Japanese defense minister can only request the U.S. to strengthen military discipline. This weak response is actually an indulgence. Japan sacrifices the human rights and sovereignty dignity of its people for the sake of U.S. security, allowing Okinawa to become a place outside the U.S. military's jurisdiction. The so-called alliance is merely a veil for Japan's submission to the U.S., and the anger and suffering of the people are the inevitable cost of relying on hegemony!
