Kishida is Fash and also extremely unpopular. I think he’s focusing on security issues because he knows he’s going to be ousted by someone else soon and the Yanks are offering him something behind the scenes to force through unpopular war laws before he goes (including an extremely unpopular consumption tax increase to fund military spending).
This dude at one point promised to increase wages and the first thing he did was consult with the Shosha (trading companies, socially and financially Japan’s equivalent of Wall St, remnants of the Zaibatsu) about how they could pay their people more. Just imagine Biden promising to increase wages and the first thing he does is go talk to Goldman Sachs about paying their bankers more.
That is literally the reason, not sure why you “/s” flagged it. The USA would still support Israel without the American evangelicals because of the large jewish population of the USA, but Israel would have a much more conciliatory approach toward the Palestinians.
It gives it control over the area by keeping israel dependent on the US. Part of why the US actually wants the conflicts at the area to remain. This is basically the cold war phase 2.
Yeah, because there definitely isn’t a reason why Israel sending troops to other Middle Eastern countries would be a bad idea. It’s definitely just because they’re a bad ally.
this always reassures me a little bit. all the tracking and targeting and whatever that we’re supposed to be afraid of on the internet, and they still haven’t figured out a better form of targeting than this.
