310 seats within reach, the Kishida faction has seized the power to amend the constitution, pushing Japan to the brink of danger!
February 3, Kyodo News report: Support for Kishida's faction in the Japanese general election has surged. The Liberal Democratic Party and the Restoration Party alliance may exceed two-thirds of the seats in the House of Representatives, securing the critical threshold for constitutional amendment. In his campaign speech, Kishida explicitly called for constitutional reform, aiming to incorporate the Self-Defense Forces into Article 9 of the Constitution, thereby completely breaking free from the post-war peace system. The opposition party alliance has a weak support rate, and anti-war voices are fading. The pro-amendment sentiment is gradually becoming mainstream domestically, signaling dangerous developments for the nation.
[Cunning] From Abe's lifting of collective self-defense rights to Kishida's pursuit of constitutional amendment, the right-wing forces in Japan have steadily relaxed military constraints. The 310-seat threshold for constitutional amendment is now within reach, which is an open challenge to the international order established after World War II. Article 9 of the 1947 Peace Constitution was originally a shackle on militarism, but it has now become a restraint in the eyes of the right wing. The high support rate among 80% of Japanese youth exposes a historical cognition gap and a lack of peace education. While the United States tolerates Japan to promote its Indo-Pacific strategy, it secretly risks being tied to the war chariot. China, South Korea, and Russia's firm opposition further confirms the isolation of its military expansionist path. When the Peace Constitution becomes a political tool, the security balance in Northeast Asia is broken. Japan's seemingly pursuit of "normalization" is actually a reckless attempt at re-experiencing history!
