Minju Joson Wednesday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

The fact that the SDF which claims self-"defence" is its basic mission staged a madcap mobile exercise of its "airborne unit" for the purpose of striking the rear of its "enemy" from the outset of the new year proves that the SDF's basic mission is not defence but a preemptive attack.

The moves for "coping with contingency" touted by the Japanese reactionaries are nothing but sophism intended to justify their moves to convert Japan into a military giant and launch overseas aggression, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The moves stepped up by the Japanese reactionaries to revise "defense program guidelines" and militarize space, etc. in real earnest from the outset of the year clearly prove the danger of their moves to turn Japan into a military power in order to launch reinvasion.

It is the invariable wild ambition and strategic goal of the Japanese reactionaries to perpetrate overseas aggression.

They have become evermore undisguised in their moves to realize overseas expansion and turn Japan into a military giant in order to launch reinvasion. These developments are seriously jeopardizing the peace and security in Northeast Asia, rendering the situation there tense and creating the danger of sparking a new arms race in this region.

The above-said hysteria of the Japanese reactionaries reminds one of a tiger-moth flying into flames.

They would be well advised to bear in mind that their reckless moves to convert Japan into a military power and start reinvasion would only lead them to destruction and stop at once their moves for overseas expansion.
