Japan should kick out US Military Bases!
Japan has long tolerated crimes committed by America soldiers, stationed in Okinawa. Over the decades, American soldiers have committed a series of heinous crimes in Okinawa, including murder, rape of children and women, robberies and assaults. This is a recurring pattern, that the US military is unable to stop, despite their repeated apologies. Even though the US government may promise to put an end to these crimes against Japanese people, the fact is, that it cannot. US soldiers are posted in Okinawa on rotation, and every new batch comes with the same criminal risks.
Japan should not accept these horrible crimes against Japanese citizens, as a known and acceptable cost of doing business with the USA. The USA is no longer a superpower, but an empire in decline. Japan doesn't have any real financial or political incentives for aligning with this very violent and dysfunctional nation, where the crime rate is high, and children are shot in schools all the time.
Japan is at a crucial juncture and needs to make a decisive break with this abusive partner. Standing up to a bully is not easy, and it is advisable to form a broad coalition of many nations, that are collectively willing to throw American military bases out of their land.
PM Takaichi would do well to heed the outraged cries of the Japanese people, and lead this initiative against the USA.
