Nemesis4you:
Your mother is correct

Really?!

Exnavyboy62:
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.

Thank you so much!
Always so good for me to hearing other peoples' opinions and exchange opinion!!
I really appreciate you!!

Oh! Exnavyboy62 san, I'm also still hard to read English. I can't read and understand English without dictionary.
I checked about what is meaning armchair general
I thought you are a military general!
Yes! I'm a one of Japanese national and my opinion about them is they are threaten Japan and Japanese.
I have read about North Korea targeting US military base in Japan too and one of their target military base is not so far from my house.
Missile falling inside or outside Japan's EEZ is enough threat.

I have kind of feel that if truly war will start, Japan will be battlefield

Oh! Really?
I'm very sure that my mom still think so.

Anyway, Thank you so much for taking your time!
I really really appreciate you!!

Respectfully, your opinion is not based on facts. Are you aware that for decades North Korea has been kidnapping Japanese citizens, and taking them to their country so they can teach them Japanese customs and stuff like that, which will then be used to train spies that can pass for Japanese? That's not an act of war, right? North Korea is just doing all it can to keep itself safe, right? All while fat Kim eats the best food in the world and washes it down with the best liquor money can buy. So, yeah, he's as fat as he is cos that's what keeps North Koreans safe, right?

So, according to you, someone launching ballistic missiles into your territorial waters is not a threat. If I started using catapult to shoot big stones into your compound would you regard that as a threat or not? And you talk like these ballistic missile launches only happen due to US and South Korean exercises and that's an outright lie. North Korea is like a petulant bully whose overriding objective is to be noticed. Any time there's a little bit of peace and quiet in Asia, they launch a missile or perform a nuclear test and then issue bombastic statements that scream "notice me, notice me".

And another thing, you said that North Korea went the nuclear route because they did not have money to purchase conventional weapons. Seriously? Hope you are aware that nuclear missiles cost an arm and a leg to develop, and a neck and liver to maintain. They are never cheap. North Korea went the nuclear route precisely because it is the only thing that gives them the biggest leverage and they by the way have been for decades a major arms manufacturing and exporting nation.

As for your analysis on the US and China, the less said the better.

What proof of recent do you have to show that North Korea as a country has been kidnapping the Japanese and doing whatever you said they were doing to them??
Did I ever say anything about Mr Kim Jong Un's diet being responsible for keeping North Korea safe??

Did you read my write up properly at all. I never said North Korea launched ballistic missiles into the waters of countries hosting US military bases (e.g; Japan and South Korea)for nor reason, they are not only a response to US-South Korean exercises, they are also a message to the US to stay clear of it's territory as it will not like to be in the same situation as victims of NATO gangsters bullying, who unfortunately had no nuclear weapons to serve as a war deterrent for them.

Yes you are right and at the same time, they can't afford an arms race with South Korea in terms of conventional weapons so rather than waste the available money, time, energy and resources they have on such, wouldn't it be better if they have a better more powerful and efficient war deterrent, hence why they turned to their allies (China and Russia) "for help" in nuclear weapons development and the allies seem to have done a good job in being an all weather friend to the small Island.

As I said, who knows maybe my argument is not relevant to the issue on ground. I don't live in any of the said countries so I don't know what it feels like to perceive a threat.

You are either naive or unexposed to geopolitical realities.

Ever heard of a little something called a map? Take a look at where North Korea is. Notice it shares borders with both China and Russia?

According to you, north Korea is developing nuclear weapons to prevent the US invading it. And it never occurred to you that if such an invasion happened, it would bring US and NATO forces right within areas both Russia and China consider inviolable. Like China go just smile encouragingly as the US invaded North Korea, right?

Do research the Korean war when you can, paying particular attention to China's reaction to the invasion of the North by UN forces led by the US. Plus ask yourself what Russia is doing at the moment just because Ukraine, a neighboring country is falling into the Western orbit.

And what will happen? North Korea still needs to defend herself, what is the aim of sanctions again? Is it not to weaken a nation till they are easily susceptible to invasions. China will react, is the west afraid of China and Russia? Best mode of survival is yourself, and the only option for north Korea since there economy is in shambles is to develop what the whole world fears the most to defend themselves. You can't blame them. Kim does what is best for his nations survival, just as Russia is doing and US did thesame during Vietnam and cuba crisis

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.

Google is your friend. I never said that North Korea has recently engaged in the abduction of Japanese citizens. But they did do that a lot in the past.
Vote wisely

You still don't get it. Lemme restate what I said. China would never allow a US invasion in its backyard, moreso as such an invasion might be a Western pretext to invade the Chinese mainland. Ditto Russia.

And Kim does not do what he does for his nation's survival. He does what he does for the survival of the Kim dynasty, North Korea be damned.

And that is my last comment on this issue. Vote wisely fellas. Let's make sure that the labors of our past heroes were never in vain.

Have you met with Kim and heard he isn't doing what is better for NK survival, what should Kim do now? Cower to the west and China run a special operation like Russia to Ukraine. The option of kimdynasty is the best, btw Kim father got their first taste on making nuclear weapons from US not even China or Russia. Vote wisely everyone, let's elect a good leader

Nemesis4you:

Ok! Thank you
I'm very sure that she still think so.

Hello, Exnavyboy62 san!

Please forgive me to write about North Korea kidnapped Japanese peoples.

There have some reasons.

One of Japanese victims who came back to Japan in 2002, talked about they wanted him to be their spy at first.
They kidnapped him in 1978 with his wife.
Japan got back 5 victims in 2002 and this victim is one of them.

It's said that their main purpose is enter South Korea.
Because North Korea nationals are difficult to enter there.
So, they wanted Japanese victims to be their spy and they wanted send them (Japanese) to South Korea.

But their plan is failed or something like that, this victim became like Japanese teacher.
Like GabrielYulaw san said, this victim taught them Japanese language etc.
Reason is they wanted to be fake Japanese.
Sorry, How do I say it in English?
Impersonation? Imposter? Identity theft?
So, they needed to learn Japanese language, culture etc.

Another reason is they wanted use Japanese victim's identity for another Japanese who already became? brainwashed? their spy to enter Japan and kidnapping more Japanese.

Sadly, one North Korea's spy who is a Japanese woman kidnapped other Japanese woman in Europe around in 1983.
She is still not come back to Japan.

According from Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (from their website), "The following is an outline the cases related to the 17 abductees identified by the Government of Japan.
In addition to the 17 Japanese citizens already identified as having been abducted by North Korea, the possibility of abduction by North Korea can't be ruled out of 873 other missing persons (as of October 2021).
The Government of Japan has been conducting information gathered and investigation activities both Japan and overseas."

One of other website about North Korea kidnapped Japanese is "Abduction of Japanese Citizen by North Korea".
This website has English.
They have free download documentary animation film "Megumi".
This have some foreign languages including English.
I'm planning to watch it.
This animation film "Megumi" is about Yokota Megumi san.
North Korea said she is already dead.
They sent two victims' remains to Japan and one of them is her.
But Japan Government did DNA test and result is those remains are nothing relate to them.
Nort Korea sent unknown persons' remains to Japan.

Nort Korea claiming 8 victims are already dead and 4 victims are not enter North Korea.
5 survivors and their families are already sent back to Japan.

But those 8 victims, North Korea said they are already dead is without any proofs.
And they said 2 of their remains are already sent back to Japan which is I already wrote about it and other 6 victims' remains are buried at three different cemeteries and they are claiming all of their remains are swept away in heavy rain.

Terrible. Really really terrible.
And North Korea kidnapped is not only Japanese.
They kidnapped some other nationalities too.

I'm so sorry for long long writing.
But I hope this will be useful information to you

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??
