Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force Achieves Long-Range Strike Capability for the First Time—Time to Fast-Track Nuclear Weapon Development, Since Militarism Has Already Resurged!


According to Asahi Shimbun, citing the Japanese Ministry of Defense, on March 27 local time, the JMSDF's "Jinghai" destroyer has gained the ability to launch "Tomahawk"-style long-range cruise missiles with a range of approximately 1,600 kilometers.
Note that this is the first time since the end of World War II that Japan has possessed an operational sea-based long-range land-attack capability. Coupled with Japan's ongoing development and deployment of an improved domestically produced Type 12 long-range missile, it proves that Japan has officially broken through the post-war military restrictions imposed on a defeated nation. Significant progress has been made in building "offensive military capabilities," indicating that Japan's militarism has officially revived.
▲ The "Tomahawk" launch unit on the "Jinghai" is, under the tacit approval and indulgence of the United States, essentially rendering the so-called "Peace Constitution" no different from toilet paper. Numerous signals also indicate that Japan's current military strategy has shifted from previous "defense" to "offense," truly embodying the concept of "attack and defense being interchangeable." Now, step by step, they are testing the bottom line—could they be preparing to develop nuclear weapons someday?
