- The brutal beheadings of Japanese nationals Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa by the Islamic State in January have shocked the island nation and lent momentum to an effort to expand the limitations imposed on its constitution and military after its defeat by the United States in World War II.
Leftists in Japan fear that the incident will encourage a departure from the country's pacifist constitution, whose Article 9 states that "the Japanese people forever renounce… the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes." Right-wingers, meanwhile, see an opportunity to allow Japan to assert itself as a truly sovereign state.
VICE News reports from Japan as its prime minister and right wing are pushing for re-militarization of the pacifist nation, amid protests from the left who staunchly oppose any changes to Article 9 of the constitution.

Beheading is the most brutal way of killing someone, there's no irony in that...
@@valrina and yet many of these right wing groups want to go back to the days of imperial Japan where beheadings and other forms of killing were common not only to other people but to yourself
I like how that activist went from, 'Two of our own were executed, we have to strengthen the country from its weakness!' to 'Ehhhh, they kinda deserved to be executed. They were kinda left ngl'. Using the dead as a rallying cry, but at the same time not interested in the dead themselves
It's almost as if the movement is made up of people with differing opinions and attitudes, and they're not a literal hivemind. Curious.

They have the raw materials and the infrastructure to do so. This does not make them weak. Also, the JGSDF is small, but technologically worthy. Are you so uneducated, that you do not understand the reasoning behind the reliance on the USA for military protection? A hint, it has something to do with WWII, smart guy.

Haha, how the fuck can someone think he's half Japanese?
He's a ginger for one
Since Japan is no longer an imperialistic entity, them adopting a proper military might not be such a bad idea. Their politics are completely different and the general antiwar attitude of the people might be a healthy approach to rearming themselves. however it is their constitution and as a democracy their people should be the ones to choose that path, not the prime minister.
Now that's the best example of democracy while still being centrist
This was 6 years ago now they have a self defense army I think
@@trla6505 they've always had a self defense force similar to the national guard and coast guard in the U.S. my comment is more so for the sake of them adopting an actual military so in the event of a larger conflict they're not strictly fighting on the defense. they can participate as a really strong ally to the us in the event of a larger scale conflict. or they can go to war if needed. if another country were to attack them defense will work to an extent but it wont completely eliminate a threat.
@@charlesdavis4933 oh I see, yeah I think it's important to have strong allies in different parts of the world
@@trla6505 with the general populace having a pretty anti war attitude it might turn out better for them vs when they had an imperial army. plus with the global political climate being very different, everyone isn't trying to take everyone else's land these days.

In all honesty, World War II has been over for decades. Germany has it's army (largest in the EU) and is one of America's best allies. Japan has proved itself far beyond as one of the closest friends to the U.S, and a smart player in the region.
I fully support them getting their military back.

US didn't create ISIS, no, but it did HEAVILY influence their formation.
gblueslover2 How can you seriously be this ignorant? The US didn't need to instill shit into them. Be creating a hostile, war-like environment, and destroying a completely stable region of the world, and funding rebels to fight against a government that doesn't agree with your "democracy", you've created the perfect environment for a militant group. Not to mention that the US funded the Mujahideen, who later became Al-Qaeda, part of which broke off from Al-Qaeda and became ISIS.
Major Kitty but The Saudis Qatar and UAE are supposed to be our allies or at least bis nas partners u would think we would ask them to do this or that but we don't because isis IS NO THREAT TO America we could crush them or help them grow at any time
You are right, Japan is allied with us now, and we make up a large part of their military considering we have more than 7 bases on Japan turf, we protect them, and supply them with natural resources like oil etc.
Considering they are pretty much all out, and they are on an Island.
Japan WILL be allied with us if we go to war, the only countries that would side with Russia is other communist countries, cause communism sticks together.
Vietnam, Korea, China, Russia, and some other smaller Asian countries, and some Arab countries.
They would lose against us, but the world would still go up in flames, we have the majority of Europe, Hispanic countries, and Canada.
Why I say Canada!? Because if a nuke was to go off, Canada is right above us... they will be effected, also France is allied with the U.S, and most Canadians originated from France.
whats crazy tho is just 15 years ago during the Clinton era it seemed like Russia was starting to be a close allie to America but I guess they have changed again LOL

I don't understand this whole Issue , WWII is over , move on , Japan is allied to the west now just like Germany is , Germans and Japanese aren't dangerous it's their dictatorship regime during WWII that made them dangerous and fanatics.
Tomy Canis Agreed. And lest anyone forgot, Japan was on the Allied side during WW1.
Justin Lopez
Nah, I'm pretty sure they joined Axis since they dress better.
***** seriously ? they do that ? I didn't know about it. Well they're still on our side though but what do they say about the war with the Americans then ?
***** Oh Ok
Tomy Canis The issue may not matter to the West, but it still matters a lot to Russia, China, and North Korea. these countries were devastated by Japan and still hold a huge grudge.
If Japan start militarizing, it may set of an arms race with China, Russia, and North Korea. And their (China/Russia) traditional enemies will also join the race: like India (which will trigger Pakistan).
In that, case ISIS will be the least of Japan's worries.
Japan has changed a lot since WW2. They really do need to become more capable with their military. I am not at all worried about Japan going back to the ways of WW2 and that era. One thing is for sure, China would be a lot more cautious.
Of course you are not worried at all because your country haven't been invaded by Japanese Army and not millions of your people are killed/raped/beheaded
I think Japan’s defence force is pretty powerful correct me if I’m wrong. They have no military
Their defense force is on par with UK
It's like saying uk will conquer 1/3rd of world again if they try
Or
Mongolia will conquer most of the asia and Europe ..

It would be comical. The Yakuza really just extorts people and businesses with threats and take advantage of a cultural desire to avoid confrontation. They also trick women (many of them from the Philippines) into prostitution and work as their pimps. I lived in Japan for three years and you'd see these guys working as touts outside seedy businesses, dressed all gaudy and acting faux tough. The Yakuza sounds all cool and menacing to people in the west but they're really just pathetic.

No Japan that's a bad idea. We Germans had that same bad idea and it only brought us hate and terror from the countries we marched into with the U.S. and "liberated" from their dictators. Just keep your army a defense force.
Poor innocent middle east, they are just victims.
Nick Breen no they're not innocent, the mistake us the west did is going into unknown territory, that's why countries hate usa the most compared to uk,france and germany and australia.
Turkish Atheist That's because they are to busy fighting each other over there.
Turkish Atheist I wasn't being serious.
Nick Breen No they aren't but just marching into their country killing thousands of people while simultaniously destroying their infrastructure isn't going to make them behave any better. I think we should just leave them alone. Everytime we try to interfere with their politics things just get worse over there.
"Something simple of utmost importance : How to die" Such a badass line but profound in so many ways.

Teufelsnachbar667 "ali" is a shia name. isis hates shias. is they found anyone named ali they would be beheaded

Oh wow, get a life dude.
namn If you're stupid and ignorant then why even bother to make a ignorance-based statement? Ali is an arab name, one that is quite popular among arabs as a whole, be it Shias or Sunnis. It's funny how you call someone an idiot when obviously you are the "idiot".
Atheistmonk lol the irony. you act like you know what your talking about.
i AM a shia. my cousin lives in an arab country. my parents are from a country which is majority sunni (pakistan). the pakistani community where i live includes many sunnis as well as many many shias.
and also, i have met my fair share of sunni arabs as well as even more shia arabs.
i can tell you. a majority of the time someone named ali will be a shia. ali is the name of the first shia imam and the 4th caliph of the rashidun caliphate who's descendants were the 12 shia imams.
now maybe now and then a sunni arab may have the name ali, but a vast majority of the time it will be a shia. there are other mostly shia-exclusive names as well. like jafar, kazim, reza, hassan, hussain.
(there are other shia names but the ones i listed are ones that are hugely common among shias i have never met a sunni with them.)
so before you call someone and idiot make sure you know what you are talking about.
you stupid fucking *idiot*

+cyberanimealien The Japanese Self-Defense Force while small, is admittedly totally bad ass.
+Sheob 多形体 Yea the video addressed this, Japan is practically like a U.S. vassal (vassals in practice are allowed to have defensive forces, but only enough to defend). The defense of the nation is practically up to the U.S. (in my opinion this is the worst nation for that treaty), but one of the men were right, if China ever seriously attacked Japan, the U.S. would be pretty hesitant to bail them out. I would say Japan's SDF could take on North Korea alone, but South Korea would probably help regionally. To me Russia is the least likely to do anything against Japan for no reason. If Japan ever chose to expand it's military I do not think opinions of Japan in the U.S. would dip enough to hate them for it (I would not be surprised that with a bit a push the Security Treaty could be revised). If Japan ever wished to increase its forces now would be the best time in my opinion.

SrafasFromRS ITS A TRAP ADMIRAL ACKBAR
Ok with that kind of justification I’m alright with them participating in war but they’ll pretty much have to be restricted in some ways as to appease the whatever article. So as to not go full out ww2 days
Wish he'd use better clarity than simply saying 'the left' or 'the right'. I guess I should be happy with what I get though, looking at Vice in 2021.
Here comes the Gundams.
Jonathan Sugihara and Patlabors and Tachikomas lol
hitachicordoba And katurases
Jonathan Sugihara those dudes from star wars? they exist?
hitachicordoba LOL I'd love to see the tachikomas go commando then have a existential conversation afterward.
Jonathan Sugihara they need to bring out godzilla and fuck shit up already he`s a citizen of japan anyway
Khan Yunis Massacre
+alZiiHardstylez you should see angry Russians their more scary
+alZiiHardstylez forget that, just don't make Germany angry. That's all the world needs.
+alZiiHardstylez so tru
+alZiiHardstylez dude, that guy's massive head pimple @ 9:21 needs a video all to itself.....
+alZiiHardstylez A half crazed Islamic terrorist scares the hell out of me too.
this is a background video I can't be tabbing over for subtitles VICE
So is there any connection on this on what happened?
Isis :suicide bomber attack
Japan: first time huh?
They had Kamikaze
@@rednave4489 and they would fill the tips of the planes with hundreds of kilos of explosives. so yes they both had suicide bombers
Japan did suicide bombings before it was cool. Bad joke, ik@@benkeller4249
A suicide bombing is always "first time"...there aren't any veterans.
So it's fascism to have the ability to protect oneself ?
It's fascism to have fascism. Abe's ideology looks a lot like fascism, and Japan has drifted deep into fascist/imperialist territory before. Hope that clears up some confusion.
When it's under teh same families and party that were responsible for WW2, Imperialism, and fascism? Yes
It could definitely lead to fascism when you start changing the constitution for such purposes.
Subi_fan: Who said that xD?
I think there afraid of what happened before but Ya coming from a yank the article sounds weird
More power to Nippon against Islamic terrorism.
Isis: *suicide bombings*
Japan: you do know we popularized that trend 70 years ago right?
This has to be one of the most balanced and unsensationalized Vice docs I've ever seen. Thanks for showing both sides of the coin.
Japan is the true world power.
They have Goku
They have also naruto.
Noble Nitro yup
Rasengan
One Puuuuuuuuunch
And ghouls looking for more food
I might sound stupid for asking but why are their protest sighns in English?
I think it’s so people around the world can get the message also English is a really popular language
Was article 9 eventually amended?
all Japan needs to do is send them anime
pianomaN - Yeah it's so cringy it would kill them
I think hentai would work better, don't ya' think?
pianomaN - ACTUALLY THEY DID, SEARCH UP ISIS-chan , ISIS SAW IT AND HOT ANGRY AND THIS IS WHY THIS HAPPENED
hentai too *hahahehe*
i say give them boku no pico!!!
This guy can watch anime without sub 😮😭
edit : this kinda aged well

fu man shu 🤷🏽♂️
Luckyman
Dub is the way to go anyway 🤣👍
weabo
5:33 ngl they got some fire beats n rhymes
Can I know is Yakuza group more to right wing or left ?
I bet their right wing.
Yakuza is native
Islam is not
Just send some gundams in.
lmao, best comment I have read all day.
kotaku.com/5921304/japanese-politicians-are-thinking-about-building-gundam-like-real-working-gundam They're already thinking about it, down to the last Yen. Though think about it, how powerful will they be once they have working mobile suits with at least the firepower of a zaku.
That would be awesome to see. :D
omgyeaXD They must have them up and running under some black project, it would be off the hook to see those fools from IS getting blown up by f'ing Gundams
Japan: Omae wa mou shindeiru
ISIS: NANI?!!
Shindeiru fushugi desu
Omg😂😂😂 you made my day!
5:31 the flow tho
11:00 yakuza member "you might get shot"
evil laugh 😄😄

so many dumb comments about WW2 SMH
+Hiphop world war 2 was planed by israel usa and britian. we have to nuke these fucking terror countrys
+yxcvbnm 2231 But...Israel was founded in 1947...good Lord.
Man, gotta hand it to you, the only thing faster than your jumping to conclusions is the rate at which I began laughing at this comment.
+Raymond Oliveri The whole situation is pretty fucked anyway. What are some possible solutions? Peaceful, of course.
+Raymond Oliveri Religion strikes again.
I feel like shit will go batshit insane, really soon, really fast
Hur i helvete hittar jag dig överallt asså haha
It's all propaganda. No one's going to show regular people on tv, let alone VICE. When you make money selling newspapers, ad time, or views on youtube you are inevitably incentivised to show the extremes and the ugly side of humanity.
Absolutely false. Sure, when they provide opinions they may be biased, which is why people should look at reports instead of listening to media like vice, fox news, TYT etc. There are thousands of terrorist attacks in countries all around the world, including my own. When people get executed on television, racism rises, resistance groups are formed, election results change, etc. This can not go on without serious consiquenses (sorry for possible shit spelling). The horrors arising from the middle east especially are not minor groups popular in the media, in fact i would say they are larger than people like to think.
I suggest looking at the numbers rather than the media it self. People hold quite disturbing views, in LARGE numbers, and it is now effecting the west, in the form of extremism as well as non violent movements striving for sharia law, and so on.
boomshizzIe You are utterly full of crap. Japan has been quietly and steadily increasing military recruitment, troop numbers, military equipment production and the like for the last 8 years. Not so much in reaction to these loser -ass jihadi beheaders, but to the growing threat of the ever present bully on their doorstep; China. While I honor the pacifist Japanese and their ideals, circumstances are changing rapidly in Japan, and soon the sovereign nation will be able to wage war on foreign soil.
Elias Marklund in japan or the entire world. Because I'm thinking we (human societies) are globally f@cked.
Isis: *beheads 2 Japanese men*
Japan: *pulls out katanas*
does somebody know how the situation is today in japan
Media: ”Japan,ISIS killed your people.You should fight against them!"
Japanese: "Nah we know real enemy, It’s you!"
Media: Sweats
Who?
Francisco Resendiz American governments
Your none existence Father yup that’s right USA created both ISIS & Alqaada if anyone think ISIS & Alqaada are Muslims he’s dumb cuz about 92% of their victims are innocent Muslims
@@yournoneexistencefather5869 halo Pol pot
(Who's regime is also USA backed)
Shocking!!!!
They had issues with both!@TheLegend27 when goal is quantity over quality, low and easy are first, of course it backfires within. They made the mistake of funding, thinking they’re not all the same.
Japan is like that one calm and positive Friend and when he loses his temper all hell would break loose... O-O
Well not really japan hasn't had an army for a long time so training them will take some time and they'd probably be getting extended training from the U.S in the middle east
Wait, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt Japan already has an Army and a really well equipped one, too?
@@kuribayashi84 Yeah but it's sole purpose is for self defence.
All I'm saying is they already have the organisation and most of the Equipment an Army needs (Assault Rifles, AT-Weapons, Tanks, APCs, AFVs, Helicopters etc, not to mention modern Jet Fighters and the third largest Navy in the World, as far as Main Surface Combatants go). All they need to do is rename the SDF into "Armed Forces" and aquire some offensive weaponry.
isnt that Switzerland and Canada's role? I thought Japan's role was that one friend who can't stop drawing n tinkering with mechanical stuff under the desk in class XD
The way that yakuza guy talks, you realise that despite being in the mafia he has no clue what war entails. He's probably been in some street fights and gets to intimidate others because he has a small hand gun. heck, he may even have been shot at.
But he lives in a highly controlled and urbanised society and has probably never been through too much hardship. The thought of well dressed, over zealous yakuza guys being dropped into a middle eastern battlefield is really funny to me.
2:24..
Guy on right is strapped up. notice how his one arm doesnt swing and stays near his side.
Isis: we have the best sacrificial tactics
Japan: BANZAI
isis is honestly so dumb

The history proved that

@Dio nott dumb. faith can make you do wierd things, if you belive enough then possibilities will open up to you, thats why i hope for a "war to end all wars" so humanity can be one and race mixing will be a must to have your children survive. the world is to small for us to live in peace. and thats to bad
