Why doesn't Japan just fuckin rearm already, jesuth christ.............
they are planning to get nukes
japanese leftists unironically treats the article 9 like some bible. it's pretty much a religion for them.
>>509181268and they are never in power
>>509181268My friend told me is what Japan does is keep officers and tanks and stuff around so if they have to fight a battle you can just round up a bunch of gooners to drive the tanks and boats and stuff is that true? My friend is mostly a liar.
if they rearm where are our military gonna go?
>>509181269well, yeah but a referendum is required to change that so it's still pretty unrealisc
>>509181266 (OP)They can't rearm according to their constitution. Last time they chimped out they tried to conquer all of Asia.
>>509181266 (OP)We dont want them or Germany to arm. We dont need competition for our arms industry. Look what happened to our car industry
>>509181266 (OP)You know what we did back then.
>>509181272Any ways around it? Ya'll have a shitload of "destroyers" that have flat tops and aircraft capabilites for instance.
>>509181276You don't have an arms industry Nigel. Your Tank cannons will be German or they won't exist.
>>212295633also, the japanese leftists being out of touch like that is one of the main reasons why LDP can keep winning
but they are powerfull enough to prevent the constitutional reform
it's kinda like a trade-off

>As of 2024, the Kaga is being upgraded into a fixed-wing carrier, capable of operating VTOL aircraft such as the F-35B.
They are.
>>509181266 (OP)>why don't we spend our money on buying armaments instead of helping our peopleyou should disarm, everyone should, war is a big waste of life and money
Why would they need to? Nobody is attacking them.
>>509181520kind of
it just has the mosat strict rules in the world
japan can't send any weapon to ukraine, for instance
>>509181594is anyone attacking the us or china or uk or france?
>>509181446Bongland hasn’t built a tank in decades. They’re not even making parts for them anymore.
>>509181819France and UK - no. But plenty would be willing to go to war with China or the US.
The Japanese constitution is essentially a noble ideal that all human beings should strive to achieve(except the emperor part).

>>509181266 (OP)It would require the equivalent of an amendment in the US.
>self defense forces
>doesn't defend itself against the invading hordes or raping US Hernandezes
>>509181276actually the us and other nato nations or eu would just welcome if japan becomes ''normal''
it's literally japan itself that refuses to be normal
>>509181266 (OP)because it's not their problem
america said don't try anything ever again so this is what you ger
Japan is already well-armed, which is sufficient for its defence. The USA and some right-wing Japanese people want to reinforce Japan's armaments so that it could commit acts of aggression. Whoever wrote the constitution, it was bought by the blood of our ancestors. Any military expansion by Japan would be blasphemous to all the victims (both Japanese and non-Japanese) of the previous war.
>>509181266 (OP)Why, so it can maintain its status as a vassal state?
It's your fucking job.
>>509181975>except the emperor partThis, he should have absolute power
