The Russo-Japanese War led to the downfall of the Russian Empire. The Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union ended with the collapse of the USSR. Having faced destruction more than once, Russia must find the alliance of Japan and the United States particularly unsettling.
@@midimoog it is not an alliance, it is a military occupation that started in 1945. Japan is not an independent country, it is a puppet of the US, an empty shell, there's nothing to worry about coming from them until they free themselves ( if they ever do it )
I would phrase it as "having overlapping claims" rather than "still occupying Japanese islands," as Russia has controlled the isles since Japan's defeat in WWII, and Russia views them as territory acquired during the war. That being said, I understand your perspective, as the U.S., EU, and China all recognize Japan's claims as legitimate.
@Isl33p that's an interesting observation however if you spend much time looking at Russian territorial discussions/statements you'll see that recognizing anything related to claims made by Russia is akin to believing someone who escaped an insane asylum and claimed that grass is really government drones meant to indoctrinate us.

Nope, none of the Japanese youth wants to join the Japanese military. Also incase you didn’t notice that Japan has a declining and aging population, a war with China would destroy the future of Japan as it would go extinct when it no longer has any young people to sustain its population.
Incredible how it's a public knowledge that a literal cult operates within the Japan's government and you literally NEVER hear about it, let alone hear someone call out the corruption.
I mean there have been many quotes from Japanese and Korean generals and ministers along the lines of they’d never not trust an American soldier but they’d be foolish to ensure their nations safety to an American politician.
It is anticipated that Trump, the businessman, would demand Japan to cover the costs of the U.S. forces stationed in the country. That’s why Ishiba talks about building a security framework that doesn’t rely solely on U.S. forces. While it might seem like mere rhetoric, it could serve as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Trump on equal footing. Just like the video explanied: in reality, Ishiba is unlikely to accomplish anything.
Japanese people are perplexed by Ishiba's plans of Asian NATO being reported in foreign media. He became prime minister as a result of the party's scandals and factional conflicts. This plan has nothing to do with it. There is little support for this plan from other politicians and the public. Currently, his behavior and manners are being criticized by people. Because of that, there are increasing calls for his resignation.
I think Ishida should focus on the chip and ai subsidies, that shows the most promise. Drone manufacture will also be an important weapon of the future.
With building of a modern military based upon drones & AI & missiles & smart artillery - demanding primary sourcing of chips in Japan will drive the silicon investment market for guaranteed buyers of their produced silicon. Japan does not need humans (to invade foreign nations), but needs a military capable of holding the line with others invading them. Japan building nukes will be incentive to de-nuke North Korea.
Japan spends only 1.2% percent in military which is still a good amount but still not enough which means the US has to allocate more resources ,and theres if there is war somewhere else it means it may not be able to provide support in time or at all depending on what type of conflict.
Honestly every country/ neighboring countries/ continent should handle their own war. Yes i am a full supporter of Ukraine but we have now seen what happened when you rely on a foreign power too much
Well, without that foreign power (usa) Ukraine would be another state of Russia. At the end of the day, you take what you can get as support. If the USSR didn't get get support from the allies, they very well could have been defeated by the Nazis

@@jontalbot1The US wants to be the world's policeman, there is a cost to be the big boss. Usually a well run organisations your profits cover your extra ordinary costs...alas it doesn't do the trick anymore for the US. Costs of a global military footprint continues to increase with poor cost management, and lots of internal politics that wastes even more. There's a reason why the USA military spending is equal to the next 10 combined... None of them could even fathom attempting such a feat (to be the world's policeman with 750 police stations worldwide).
The US imposed limits upon the Japanese military, going so far to write it a constitution that prevents offensive operations. Further, allies discouraged Japanese military development for decades. It's not only on Japan that it's now in the position of feeling vulnerable to aggressive neighbors.
Unfortunately, that's an impossible mission for the present Japan. If Japan wants to become a game-changer in East Asia, should've built a more powerful military. However, many Japanese weapon developers couldn't have a chance to export military weapons. Once Japan was a war criminal nation in WW2, so, many politicians and citizen groups have opposed becoming military superpower so far. Therefore, many industrial companies that could manufacture weapons had to supply limited army & naval equipment for only Japanese military organizations. However, most weapons are very expensive and maintenance systems are not so good. Thus, Japan had to import lots of American weapons through the US's support. Furthermore, many Japanese weapon builders don't have enough experience to supply massive quantities of weapons in a short period. International weapon sellers must have a few capabilities such as a fast and automatic system based on AI. To be honest, Japan's current manufacturing basis based on digital capacity is not so good. Most Japanese corporations and government organizations have depended on traditional analog systems. Of course, the present PM Ishiba Shigeru is a more outstanding person than previous Japanese leaders. But if he would like to make Japan a game-changer in East Asia, there are lots of obstacles, and he must remember that. He should solve those things first before dreaming of his great plan.
Its a very ambitious idea and every sovereign nation has the right to exist without the interfarance of aggressive neighbors...but as you elaborately stated there are are too many stumbling blocks in the way and most likely Chie-na, Russia and North Korea will want to sabotage that idea of an Asia Nato ... but this shouldn't deter the Pacific nations from having some sort of defensive pack against these three problematic nations

The difficulty about many of these things does not lie in the diet they lie within the reluctance of Japanese people to re-militarization. Why do I say this? Even when they had a majority komeito is actually not in favor of revising the Constitution or re-militarizing. So they didn't do it when they were a majority, but could they do it now that they're a minority? If it were only an issue of the diet then possibly yes. Ishin has a good number of seats and they are in favor of the change. The Constitution and many DPP members are also not opposed to it. So this is not a diet issue. This is that they would lose popularity amongst most Japanese people.
The ROC/PRC dispute is not the same as the belligerence of Russia and I don’t think it should be assumed to be the same. You don’t need an Asia Pacific NATO to recognise Taiwan as a country and declare to defend it. We don’t need an anti-China club as it just alienates and causes more tension in a region that does not have an appetite for war. Only once Taiwan decides to abandon the one state ideology and declare themselves an independent entity should anything take place. The ball is in Taiwan’s court.
We need a worldwide NATO (perhaps with a different name, but names don't matter, Article 5 does) of democracies. Being in Ukraine's position is ridiculous.
They don’t have to change article 9 just change how they interpret the article. They don’t have to pay more for military staff just make service mandatory for men and women. One year of full time service or 8 years of part time

Japan wants its islands back, specifically the Kuril Islands taken by Russia during WW2. Recently a massive amount of natural gas and oil was found there, of which would eliminate Japans reliance on nuclear power as well as oil imports which it relies on. The islands have been under Russian administration since their 1945 invasion by the Soviet Union near the end of World War II. Japan claims the four southernmost islands, including two of the three largest (Iturup and Kunashir), as part of its territory, as well as Shikotan and the unpopulated Habomai islets, which has led to the ongoing Kuril Islands dispute. The disputed islands are known in Japan as the country's "Northern Territories". Perhaps they see Russia in conflict and weakened, and would like to militarily reclaim what was formerly theirs...
i love hearing news of war over robotic techno music and lines such as "remember the mist islands?" before moving on without elaborating. thanks for doing the opposite of informing me
A Japanese-led “Asian NATO”? I hope they call it the Nations for Asian Territorial and Treaty Organization or something else that would use the NATTO acronym, I love me some natto (納豆) 🤤
@haihengh did it? Is Germany further away? All countries have back their independence. Also nato is made for self defense not to conquer other countries
When it comes to the zero unemployment figure in Japan, that is just plainly not true. They sweep homelessness and joblessness under the rug, and don’t fully presents all the statistics for current employment.
Asian NATO initiated/led by the Japanese? You must be joking, Mr Prime Minister. The Chinese haven't forgotten the Nanjing Massacre; the Koreans and the rest of Southeast Asia haven't forgotten your atrocities too. Fortunately all of us here value our history books.
As an Aussie, I no longer trust USA as a friend can reliably count on. We really need to build close links with Japan, India, Uk and Canada along with rest of the Big ASEAN countries and get a pacific NATO off the ground. AUKUS needs a rework so just get tech and subs froM UK, as the USA is having trouble meeting their own needs, and our boats will be last on the list.
And they shouldn't. All of these countries need to take this shit seriously and start making back up plans and building up their own militaries. With our shift to the right, we're becoming more isolatist. Until WW3 we're likely to do less.
Personally i think that Japan has industrial capabilities. In the world of constant change, Japan can't trust USA in any case, they should rearm and be competitive in world. USA will use strong japan against china and after dump them. Japan must adopt new economical policies and robotics to make their products competitive and become stronger to create regional alliances
I disagree about this vlog in my opinion the U.S. allows Japan to strengthen their Military defense because Japan had been threatened and have several tensions by China, North Korea and Russia. That's why the U.S. allowed Japan to strengthen their Military Capabilities......
Because we are huge. So big. You'd love it. Also? We allowed all of our allies to gut their own militaries to focus on science and industry and stuff and as a result no one has a proper military except us.
Worst offenders are the Irish IMO. A very rich country which spends virtually nothing on defence and shelters under the NATO/US umbrella while claiming to be non-aligned. They get an easy ride cos Americans are sentimental about the country. The Swiss are also non aligned but they do spend on defence
@jontalbot1 yes but you can't blame them because their experience, unlike Norway during Cold war or jig is up WW2, makes them think the way they do. They are smart so just debate them like with Pales Isr and financial obligations
@sinoroman then that needs to change. What more can be proven that we are allies that have not already. In my opinion, you are a better ally than any other with tied with Japan, Tiawan, South Korea, and Phillipines in the Asian area.
If Japan wants a collective self defence system, nothing prevents it from signing mutual defence agreements with other Asian countries, but to expect an “Asian nato” is ludicrous as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan already have common defence treaties with the USA saying that if said nation is attacked the USA will get involved. Now, if Japan wants a NATO article 5 look alike where if one nation is attacked all the others would vet involved, fine let them try it, but I doubt it would work.
It’s always been a question as to whether the US is prepared to destroy itself to save others. About time Japan assumed responsibility for its own defence

A Japanese-led “Asian NATO”? I hope they call it the Nations for Asian Territorial and Treaty Organization or something else that would use the NATTO acronym, I love me some natto (納豆) 🤤
Nice
The USN will boost the exo omy by building ship in JAPAN and South KOREA.
You didn't cite any reasons. These are just random opinions
That's what TH-cam is, it's becoming a socialist platform.
They would be foolish not to prepare for their defense
How can that be! US has 23 military bases in Japan! US & Japan are global partners!
Japan is strong with an article 9 constitution more than without.
can you blame him? US said he would defend ukraine if ukraine destroyed their nukes.. well where is your US defence? a few scrap old weapons?
US also said not expand 1 inch east of Germany
@haihengh did it? Is Germany further away? All countries have back their independence. Also nato is made for self defense not to conquer other countries
Man who the heck are they even going to recruit for their army. This seems completely bunkers for me.
When it comes to the zero unemployment figure in Japan, that is just plainly not true. They sweep homelessness and joblessness under the rug, and don’t fully presents all the statistics for current employment.
True.
Yup. Not to mention many "jobs" are severely underpaid
Your sign language is impeccable 😂
Asian NATO initiated/led by the Japanese? You must be joking, Mr Prime Minister. The Chinese haven't forgotten the Nanjing Massacre; the Koreans and the rest of Southeast Asia haven't forgotten your atrocities too. Fortunately all of us here value our history books.
WHAT SONG IS AT 13:55?
Chinese CCP apologists would be mad at this 😂
As an Aussie, I no longer trust USA as a friend can reliably count on.
We really need to build close links with Japan, India, Uk and Canada along with rest of the Big ASEAN countries and get a pacific NATO off the ground.
AUKUS needs a rework so just get tech and subs froM UK, as the USA is having trouble meeting their own needs, and our boats will be last on the list.
And they shouldn't. All of these countries need to take this shit seriously and start making back up plans and building up their own militaries. With our shift to the right, we're becoming more isolatist. Until WW3 we're likely to do less.
Personally i think that Japan has industrial capabilities. In the world of constant change, Japan can't trust USA in any case, they should rearm and be competitive in world.
USA will use strong japan against china and after dump them. Japan must adopt new economical policies and robotics to make their products competitive and become stronger to create regional alliances
This Asian NATO sounds like a good idea and it would create balance in the far East so everybody didn't have to rely on United States (where I'm from)
I love this channel, but Josh's Moscow pronunciation really does bother me... he uses well spoken English, but it's "Moss"-cow, not "Mozz"-cow.
Who cares about how to name a crap?
It takes intelligence to care for things. The more intelligence, the more fine details you can care about.
America has been trying to get them to do this since the 70's.
Japanese should first fight for freedom from uSA forces in japan then they can imagine to counter Taiwan before china 😂😂😂
That's something Japan and the American people have in common
Japan simply doesn’t have the demographics to prepare for war. Certainly not without allies.
I'm sure they can. The strength of their military can be measured by looking at how they perform in sports such as soccer and baseball.
Considering our policies change every 4 years, I don't blame them
I disagree about this vlog in my opinion the U.S. allows Japan to strengthen their Military defense because Japan had been threatened and have several tensions by China, North Korea and Russia. That's why the U.S. allowed Japan to strengthen their Military Capabilities......
Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) the former Asian Defense Treaty back in 1955
Josh -- you could be a spokesperson on an Auction with that many words you can in a second.. -- ☝
ishiba is correct.... like Sun Tzu said , any nation that cant defend itself will disappear eventually
I kind of think yes to all by some measure. We'll see what happens
Good Video. But please free the Orcas.
Christ everyone wants US safety guarantee
Because we are huge. So big. You'd love it.
Also? We allowed all of our allies to gut their own militaries to focus on science and industry and stuff and as a result no one has a proper military except us.

Worst offenders are the Irish IMO. A very rich country which spends virtually nothing on defence and shelters under the NATO/US umbrella while claiming to be non-aligned. They get an easy ride cos Americans are sentimental about the country. The Swiss are also non aligned but they do spend on defence
@jontalbot1 yes but you can't blame them because their experience, unlike Norway during Cold war or jig is up WW2, makes them think the way they do. They are smart so just debate them like with Pales Isr and financial obligations
@@jyy9624 I would like to discuss this with you but your post makes no sense.
It would be a TERRIBLE idea for Ishiba to do such and I doubt that 47 have the patience with the new PM...
I live in Taiwan. Our two best friends in the world are the US and Japan. I think that an Asian 'NATO' is a very good idea.
And we love you also. Love from America
Trump can sell you in any minute. You believe con artists?
Taiwan is a US junior ally. Japan is also a US junior ally. USA being the senior ally. Very lopsided.
@sinoroman then that needs to change. What more can be proven that we are allies that have not already. In my opinion, you are a better ally than any other with tied with Japan, Tiawan, South Korea, and Phillipines in the Asian area.
Do not trust the US. It is an unreliable ally at best and a liability at worst.
An Asian NATO is a lot better than the "friendship" of the US
The US should always stand by Japan, they are an important ally.
…which only means, that the state may defend itself against military action.
If Japan wants a collective self defence system, nothing prevents it from signing mutual defence agreements with other Asian countries, but to expect an “Asian nato” is ludicrous as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan already have common defence treaties with the USA saying that if said nation is attacked the USA will get involved. Now, if Japan wants a NATO article 5 look alike where if one nation is attacked all the others would vet involved, fine let them try it, but I doubt it would work.
It’s always been a question as to whether the US is prepared to destroy itself to save others. About time Japan assumed responsibility for its own defence
The whole democratic world is tooling up
Screw your clickbait titles.
