Japan, a Pacifist in Name Only
 https://www.realclearworld.com/articles/2017/12/29.....12670.html
Citat:Japan is a pacifist in name only. Article 9 of its constitution prohibits the use of military force for offensive purposes.
Ustav.
Citat:In 2014, the government approved a reinterpretation of Article 9 to grant the military powers to exercise the right of collective self-defense — essentially allowing Japanese forces to come to the aid of allies under attack during operations deemed necessary for Japanese security. Two security laws implemented in 2016, moreover, formalized the reinterpretation and expanded the scope of the type of operations that the Japanese military can support.
Interpretacija ustava. Mogu da idu u pomoć saveznicima, kada je to u odbrani Japana.
Citat:Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has therefore made amending the constitution a central focus of his agenda for the coming year. And after his Liberal Democratic Party swept elections in October, retaining a supermajority in both chambers of Japan’s parliament, he’s in good position to get the amendments approved, even if the parliament is divided on just how far they should change the constitution. Getting charter amendments through the Diet, in any case, will be only half the battle. Any amendments would also need to be approved by a majority of the public in a referendum, tentatively slated for 2018. Polling over the past couple years has consistently suggested that the prospects of constitutional reform remain in doubt. A Jiji poll from earlier this month showed nearly 70 of respondents oppose the current proposals for Article 9 reform.
Sledeće godine ima Abe u planu da promeni ustav. Za to mu treba na kraju i referendum.
Citat:On Dec. 21, Japan’s Cabinet approved yet another record defense budget, swelling to around $46 billion, or 1.3 percent over 2017’s budget.
Novi rekordni proračun za odbranu za2 018 godinu je 46 miljardi dolara. Povečanje za 1,3%.
Citat:And so, for the first time since 1945, Japan has to consider stepping out from under the U.S. security umbrella. And this means Japan needs fighter jets capable of waging war to keep traffic flowing through the South China Sea — even if only to deter others from attempting to wage war themselves — or long-range cruise missiles capable of neutralizing the North Korean threat should the situation demand it.
Po prvi put posle 1945 Japan ima u planu više samostalnosti u odbrani.
