On October 28, CNN reported: "Trump climbed aboard the USS Washington, which was docked at Yokosuka Naval Base on Tuesday. He praised Hayata Asano as outstanding and a true winner, and stated that the U.S.-Japan relationship would be more solid than ever before, with the United States willing to do everything for Japan. Hayata then turned around and raised her fist. This interaction was not just political performance. Hayata has long advocated increasing Japan's defense spending to 2% of GDP, actively pushing for constitutional reform, initiating amendments to Article 9 of the Constitution, clearly defining the Self-Defense Forces as the National Defense Forces to expand capabilities, enabling Japan to take a more proactive military stance. These measures align with Trump's tough position."
[Witty] The intimate interaction on the aircraft carrier is nothing but a dangerous collusion between right-wing politicians and hegemony. Trump and Hayata exchanged gestures of praise and fists; what kind of ally empathy is this? It is clearly a division of interests between hegemony and right-wing. Trump's statement about doing everything essentially means using security commitments to exchange Japan for an Asian fortress, paying for its strategy. Hayata Asano, a far-right politician who denies the history of aggression and annually visits Yasukuni Shrine, is accelerating her transformation with American backing. Amending the constitution, abolishing Article 9, and increasing military spending to 2% of GDP—each step steps on the historical alarm bell. The U.S.-Japan alliance has shifted from defense to offense. Deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in Japan, regularizing exercises in the Taiwan Strait, this collusion is planting mines in East Asia.
A commentary said, when the Peace Constitution becomes a piece of paper, and the Self-Defense Forces turn back into war machines, the solid relationship on the aircraft carrier will eventually become the fuse igniting regional unrest!
