Ganbatte Kudasai.....little Japanese i pick up from the animes I watch and enjoy.

Well this is insightful. I guess North Korea did commit some atrocities that made Japan view them with a negative lens.
Though I think we shouldn't use the actions of Kim Jong Un's grandfather and the North Korea of then
(who committed the crime of kidnapping Japanese nationals and forcing them to act as spies), to judge Kim Jong Un and North Korea of present.

Nevertheless the fact that North Korea has nuclear weapons that can reach as far as Japanese waters and beyond, that's just enough to send chills down the spine of anyone within the strike zone. And I understand that a lot of Japanese don't want to go through the horrors of conflict again after witnessing that of WW2, but just as the saying goes; "If you want peace, prepare for war".

I wish you and all of Japan peace, hopeful that you don't get caught in the Super Powers tussle(God have mercy on Ukraine) cause Japan is one of the largest manufacturing hubs in the world. I wonder what the world will be like without Japan. No electronic devices, No vehicles, no industrial equipments, what else could ever go wrong??

davefurn:
Hmm, alright

onee-chan, arigato for the write up.

Just as you assumed, "IF" the US invades North Korea and we all know that's not going to happen for as long as North Korea keeps up with nuclear weapons development.

By the way, you still haven't showed me any proof of recent that North Korea as a country kidnapped the Japanese and taught them the old Japanese ways by force.

Well from the way I look at it, I don't think China and North Korea has anything to gain in having any hostilities with Japan. Their only concern is the US which has military bases on Japanese soil and all over the South Asian region.

Having a country like the US within reach of China and surrounding China with bases is a threat to their national security cause when war breaks out, the bases will serve as launchpads for operations and it will be easier for the US to blockade China. And as we all know, China doesn't intend to invade the US but the US and NATO bloc for no credible reason sees China as a threat.

As for North Korea, they are only doing what they can to keep themselves safe. Since they don't have funds to purchase conventional weapons due to the heavy sanctions on them, they have no choice but to turn to their allies(China and Russia) which has helped them in missile development hence why they have ICBMs or as they like to call it "War deterrent". Those ballistic missile launches that go as far as the senkaku Islands and fall in Japanese waters are not intended to threaten Japan, they are only a response to the exercises conducted by US and South Korea and most especially a message to US that it can strike it's bases and they should stay clear of North Korean territory.

But who knows, maybe my opinion is not relevant to the issue on ground, I'm just an armchair general, that's why I asked for the opinion of a Japanese national. Thanks once again for your response.

And one more thing, your mother was right about the West not wanting Asia to be strong and united.

Nemesis4you:
Your mother is correct

GabrielYulaw:
Your opinion about what North Korea and China are doing forcing your people to change and modify their defense posture appears totally correct. I guess that Kim and Xi Jinping were under the impression that anger at Japanese behavior during WWII would continue forever and act as a major hobble on Japanese arms procurement and deployment. They were wrong, and a major Asian war appears likely in a decade or so.

Now, if only South Korea would get some backbone and arm themselves with nuclear weapons. And yeah, they really need to do that soonest, because the only thing that m@dmen like fat Kim fear more than going on a diet or having a gorilla sit on their face is being atomized by an ICBM.

Exnavyboy62:
Good enough response. And as for the last paragraph of your write up, I think I'm going to hang on that for a while, I guess you have a point there .

Exnavyboy62:
Hey quick question, I was watching a documentary on Japan increasing it's military budget and boosting it's military strength. Soldiers and civilians from the Japanese mainlands and those in the islands of Okinawa and co. were also interviewed.
"Do you think China is a threat to Japanese national security??" Forget about how the US and NATO portrays China and pls give an honest reply, Thank you.
