An amphibious corps of the GSDF for recapturing a solitary island and the MSDF staged joint drills in the waters off Tanekashima, Kagoshima Prefecture on May 8-24 for the first time. During the period there were madcap drills for the rapid movement and deployment of AAV-7 amphibians from a MSDF transport ship and landing and air transport under the pretext of increasing the SDF operational capability.

Commenting on the fact, Rodong Sinmun Friday says it shows that the Abe group is going reckless in making Japan a military giant and realizing the ambition for overseas expansion.

The commentary goes on:

The scenario of the Japanese militarists to carry out the overseas aggression is fraught with a very great risk. Japan has already and almost assumed full aspects as a militarist state and it is fully ready for reinvasion.

The current constitution only remains a hurdle in the scenario.

The chief executive of Japan seeks to revise the constitution at any cost so as to stipulate the SDF as the offensive armed forces and remove the legal obstacle to reinvasion.

It is crystal clear to all why Japan's ruling quarters are running high fever for the constitutional revision. They want to legalize the overseas aggression. In other words, they are keen on making Japan a country which can conduct a war so as to realize the old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".

Such moves will bring Japan nothing good, and the militarist war chariot will be led only to the abyss of ruin.
