Chanting slogans including “Give us back our peaceful life” and “Osprey get out,” the latter being a reference to US military helicopters, the demonstrators demanded the closure of the US’ Okinawa bases. The island’s inhabitants are weary of the pollution – both chemical and aural – produced by Washington’s military outposts, as well as the high number of crimes committed by American servicemembers, from petty theft and drunk driving to rape and murder.
Governor Denny Tamaki has urged the Japanese and US governments to reduce the Pentagon’s footprint on the island, which hosts 70% of all US military facilities in Japan despite comprising just 1% of the country’s total land area. RT
The Okinawans are fighting for the return of their island from American and Japanese occupation. They are angry that they are put into such a precarious position, to be the first target of China's missile attack should a war breaks out between China and the US. The Americans have placed many strategic and nuclear weapons on the island and China must destroy everything on the island in the first hour of a war. To do so, China must unleash the most destructive weapons it has to prevent the Americans from launching attacks from Okinawa. Okinawa therefore must be totally destroyed as the American bases are all over the island.
The Japanese govt did not care as the Okinawans are not Japanese and sacrificing the Okinawans is just a convenient military strategy. In a way, it would be better to wipe out the Okinawans and replace them with Japanese in the island eventually. So, having Okinawa as a strategic target would not pull on the conscience of the Japanese. Ethnically, the Okinawans are a small minority, an expendable item.
The Okinawans are in a position like 'you die your business', as long as the main islands of Japan are safe, the majority of the Japanese are safe.
If Japan were still the ruler of Taiwan, then Taiwan would be the first choice, ahead of the Okinawans, to be offered to the Americans as a military base. It would be even easier to sacrifice the Taiwanese than Okinawans. Unfortunately Taiwan has been returned to China and is a part of China. The Japanese has no say in offering Taiwan to the Americans.
Good luck, Okinawans. The Okinawans are in the lowest rung of the Japanese pecking order.
Once the devil sets up residence in a country, no way will it leave. Okinawa, Philippines and South Korea are perfect examples.
ReplyDeleteThe Africans are doing it quite successfully, with the help of the Russians, Cubans, North Koreans and Chinese over many decades, with these countries giving the Africans aid and military support to fight the colonisers.
No way can the Philippines unshackle itself, and so do the other two, Okinawa and South Korea. The Philippine military had been so completely and thoroughly brainwashed over the China threat that if you put a Chinese in a tent in the Philippines, or a Chinese fishing boat nearby, all hell will break lose. The Philippine military will shout 'Chinese' invasion and asking their White Papa to send help.
Now Thailand is being turned over to the Proxies of the USA with the just concluded election. Thailand's relation with China is going to be problematic. Lots of money are involved to buy all the votes, all funded by the CIA and NGOs supported by NED, the regime changing arm of the USA. Their next target will be Myanmar, with Laos and Cambodia on the horizon.
Thais as daft as the Taiwanese and Pinoys voted those punks that are going to the skunks of their countries.
DeleteTheir old General for so many years brought peace to their land and now they courted diasters again.
What's that Forward Party Chief liked Band Boy and that Thaatsin Daughter mama san.
M.O.T..Upheaveals again mark my words.
The Pinoys have several generations of freedom fighters to free their land from invaders and colonialists. They fought the Spanish, the Americans and the Japanese.
ReplyDeleteDuring Corazon Aquino's time they fought to get rid of American bases. They were successful to evict the Americans and reclaimed Clark and Subic bases and all the other smaller bases
Now the mentality has changed especially in the military. Now Marcos Jr is openly inviting the Americans back to station troops in the Philippines, to be colonised again.
Yeah, once again the USA tells the Pinoys, China is your enemy and we are your friends coming back to help you. And the Pinoys fell for that head over heels.
ReplyDeleteOver to Africa, and the USA tells the Africans, China is your enemy and we are your friends coming back to help you. But Africans are too smart to fall for the same trick.
Some people learn from their mistakes. Some never learn. That is why stupidity never has a cure.
China has never colonised the Philippines. But the Pinoys chose to listen to the lies of their colonial masters, the Americans and also the Japanese, that China is going to invade them and colonise them.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that this is happening, believing in the thieves that broke into their homes and stole their valuables and listening to the thieves saying an innocent man is the thief?
Thaksin and Yingluck were the best PMs for the Thais. Their policies were for the people of Thailand, to make their lives better. They are pro economic growth.
ReplyDeleteBusinessmen and women as Politicians?
ReplyDeleteOnly self interests for their pockets!
NOT for peoples and Country!
Likewise Dotard Trump and that hypocritical KMT All Fighting for own Prestige and Powers that Whats FoxConn FOX CON you guy.
KMT camp so many uncertainty and powers squabbling amongst themselves will be in a vulernable position to lose to that Half Japs DPP Gang again in 2024.
MYWords!
Now KMT Presidential Candidate from New Taipei is a credible one that will win against that William Lai.
DeleteWilliam in short Chinese joke Blood Stick blood stick.
If the Daft Taiwanese were to vote that Blood Stick again then China would be in soonest as time is running up for them another of their Pro UAssA term.
