genericnick posted:Didn't Japan actually send soldiers to Iraq? What would the material effect of a change in the constitution be except the big moral boost for the right wing? That's right, essentially art. 9 only stops Japan from declaring war and having an army, but both of those dispositions were easily sidestepped by simply calling your army a "self-defense force" and your intervention in Iraq a "peacekeeping mission". Japan has one of the highest military expenses in the world, and imo the LDP and friends are happy as they are right now. But still, there are some obvious advantages to having an army that can project power outside your borders, and said art. 9 reforms will be used essentially to gently caress up China and the Koreas, since Japan has some territorial disputes with them. I don't think it's impossible that such reforms will never happen, but imo both the public and the LDP MPs don't have the appetite for a conflict against China or SK right now, though that can probably change in the near future.

If anything could unite the Koreas it'd be a remilitarized Japanese state. I can see it now. A joint DPRK-ROK mission to the Dokdo islands... oh god I have to go to the bathroom! 💦

Is the push for remilitarizing Japan driven by the belief that colonialism may be the only way out of the Lost Decades? I'm trying to think of motives that don't boil down to base nationalism.

if the desire to get out of the lost decade is the reason behind the push for militarism then they are a bit too late. Everyone else has already followed them into it

Wouldn't surprise me if they want to turn their JICA racket into something more profitable with military enforcement tbh. JICA is the Japan Internation Cooperation Agency, their version of USAID. Adding weapons sales and military cooperation to existing international programs isn't a far stretch. They are one of the larger government aid agency that works internationally with large investments in Asia and Africa. Going from benign aid programs (which itself has been historically useless/unproductive to the recipient nation) that have good relationship with the recipient nation states to something more aggressive with military and direct economic agreements could be something new ughhhh has issued a correction as of 23:53 on Jul 10, 2022 |

yellowcar posted:i believe one of the reasons for the big push to militarism is currently japanese law prohibits selling weapons overseas and japan wants to get in on the MIC racket This makes sense. From a warped point of view they're practically leaving money on the table. Tankbuster posted:Who are they gonna colonize? The big red apple is the workshop of the world, the two koreas either have nukes or are in an alliance with japan and the filipinos have too much swag. Africa, probably. But even the clock on neocolonialism is winding down there, with the French getting kicked out of Mali and the CAR. America has made a lot of investment into AFRICOM, so maybe the Japanese could sell their own security services? None of it is viable, but feasibility isn't really something these people care about.

Also not hard to make a good movie when your dumb nephew isn't the one writing the scripts. I don't know how bad nepotism is in Korean cinema, but afaik the Game of Thrones debacle is fairly common in the US, where the directors were only in their position because daddy was a financier or something like that e: also if you're only looking at the bits of Korean cinema that gain recognition in the west you're going to have a warped view on the quality.
