it's known to all that Japan 🇯🇵 is an American colony . Since the end of world war ll and the presence of American troops on Japanese soil .

The Plazza Accords ruined Japan's economy with consequences felt for decades, just because US industry felt threatened by Japanese competition. 30 years of stagnation were the price paid for being a vassal state of Aemrica. In some way, the US destroyed Japan twice, in the 40's and the 80's, and will not hesitate to sacrifice it a third time.

Opinion - Is China preparing to attack Japan?
...
the U.S. and Japan should remove China’s temptation to attack them pre-emptively. They should harden bases and port defenses, disperse U.S. and allied forces across the Japanese islands and the Philippines, and augment joint air and missile defenses.

Quote
Johannesburg — In a rare acknowledgment, Russia's private mercenary army PMC Wagner said Monday that it had suffered heavy losses in fighting against a Tuareg rebel alliance in the northern part of the African nation of Mali. The state-funded "private military company" did not say how many of its fighters were killed in a days-long battle near Mali's border with Algeria, but videos circulating on social media showed dozens of bodies, mostly appearing to be white men.

Quote
Russia's state-run news agency TASS reported Monday that only three of the Russian fighters were believed to have survived the battle, and their commander Sergey Shevchenko was among those killed in action.

The Malian army and Wagner fighters are believed to have been conducting operations for several months in a bid to gain control over the country's border with Algeria. The Taureg militias remain in control of parts of the border region, but militants affiliated with the JNIM organization, an alliance of al-Qaeda aligned groups, also operate there.

Videos posted on social media show the bodies of men, most of them white, lying in sand with Tuareg rebels talking and looting personal effects in the background, as well as destroyed vehicles and a downed helicopter.

Quote
The Tuareg rebel alliance in the area — known as the Permanent Strategic Framework for Peace, Security and Development (CSP-DSA) — said in a Saturday statement that it had seized armoured vehicles and tanks in the fighting at Tinzaouaten Thursday and Friday.

Spokesman Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane said in a Facebook post that after two days of intense fighting, the CSP-DSA had "inflicted heavy losses of human life with dozens of dead and injured," with forces still "chasing down enemy troops on the road" to nearby Kedal.
...
Russian mercenaries have acting as guns for hire on the African continent since 2017, when they were first brought in to work in the Central African Republic.

Images and video posted to social media accounts run by the Tuaregs, Wagner and other local militias indicated that a convoy of Malian army and allied Wagner forces may have been ambushed by Tuareg rebels who used an IED to stop the group followed, by an intense small-arms assault. A sandstorm appears to have added to the chaos of the battle.

Reports suggest the retreating government and Wagner forces were then attacked again and suffered further losses.

Quote
A French soldier was stabbed in the back by a Congolese-born migrant at the Gare de l’Est in Paris on Monday evening.

The attack occurred shortly before 10 p.m. local time when the 40-year-old perpetrator drove a knife between the shoulder blades of the soldier who was patrolling the French capital as part of the Opération Sentinelle counter-terror initiative.

The attacker was swiftly arrested and remains in custody.

The victim was escorted by the emergency services to a hospital located at the Percy Army Training Center in Clamar (Hauts-de-Seine). He is understood to be in a stable condition.

As cited by the Actu17 news outlet, a source close to the ongoing police investigation said the attacker’s motivation for the stabbing was retaliation for French military operations in his home country.

Thank you for the attempt! Unfortunately the target survived. A poisoned knife would have yielded better results.

Indigenous community haunted by U.S., Canadian military presence in Japan

Quote

The presence of U.S. military bases on the Japanese island of Okinawa, regularly used by Canadian Armed Forces members, is coming under criticism from locals who are Indigenous to those lands.

American bases occupy around eight per cent of the prefecture and nearly 15 per cent of the main island, causing indignation among locals like Zukeran, a former mayor of the city of Nanjō, and a past member of the Japanese House of Representatives.

He is calling on the Canadian and U.S. militaries to have a conversation about their concerns.

“Before WWII in 1945, there were no military bases in Okinawa so I would like to see Okinawa without military bases; how would that be?”

“Some people say the presence of U.S. or any kinds of military bases in Okinawa is protecting Okinawa but we don’t think so. The presence of military bases in our island makes us a target,” Okinawa International University economics professor Masaki Tomochi said.

Tomochi believes Canada needs to be part of a dialogue about the impact of the bases on locals. He points to chemical contamination, noise pollution and crimes committed by U.S. servicemen.

“We want our peaceful island back,” Tomochi said, adding, “I want Canada not to invade our rights.”

Okinawan governor Denny Tamaki - who has long objected to US military bases - visits China from Monday.
...
According to People's Daily, the Communist Party's mouthpiece, Xi spoke of exchanges between the former tributary state to China and the province of Fujian, where he used to be governor.

"When I was working in Fuzhou, I was aware of the Ryukyu-kan [diplomats' house] and the Ryukyu cemetery there, and that Fujian had a deep connection with Ryukyu," he said.

"There were 36 clans from Fujian [that] moved and settled in Ryukyu," he said, referring to a mass migration event in the 14th century.

A few days later, Tamaki told the media he interpreted the remarks as Xi having "very deep insight into history and culture".

"I take [Xi's statement] as an indication of his willingness to develop future exchanges," he said.
...
With a strategic location in the first island chain, Ryukyu was an important trade hub between ancient China and Japan.

Okinawa now hosts more than 70 per cent of US military forces in Japan. Its affiliated island is just 110km (68 miles) from Taiwan.
...
Denny Tamaki, however, has long opposed the US military bases on the island, accusing them of bringing negative impacts to locals. He also criticised the new defence strategy.

On June 23, the 78th anniversary of the Battle of Okinawa - one of the bloodiest campaigns of the Pacific War in which one out of four local civilians was killed - Tamaki issued his own peace declaration, calling for the easing of tensions and building of mutual trust with other countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region.

"[The defence build-up in Okinawa] and the memories of the fierce ground battle has triggered great concern among the residents and peaceful diplomacy through dialogue is being demanded," Tamaki said in the document.
...
In the lead-up to his trip to China, Tamaki told the media he would like to convey to the Chinese side "that we trust each other and want to continue our mutually beneficial relationship".
...
After meeting Chinese leaders and economic officials in Beijing, Tamaki will head to Okinawa's "twin province" Fujian in southeastern China to discuss economic and people exchanges with local officials, according to Japanese media.

If only the US would withdraw its military, everything would be so much simpler.....

A Brutal Sex Trade Built for American Soldiers

DONGDUCHEON, South Korea — When Cho Soon-ok was 17 in 1977, three men kidnapped and sold her to a pimp in Dongducheon, a town north of Seoul.

She was about to begin high school, but instead of pursuing her dream of becoming a ballerina, she was forced to spend the next five years under the constant watch of her pimp, going to a nearby club for sex work. Her customers: American soldiers.
...
In the postwar years, many of these women worked in gijichon, or “camp towns,” built around U.S. military bases.

In September, 100 such women won a landmark victory when the South Korean Supreme Court ordered compensation for the sexual trauma they endured. It found the government guilty of “justifying and encouraging” **** in camp towns to help South Korea maintain its military alliance with the United States and earn U.S. dollars.
...
U.S. troops stayed in the South under the U.N. flag to guard against the North, but South Korea struggled to keep U.S. boots on the ground.

In 1961, Gyeonggi province, the populous area surrounding Seoul, considered it “urgent to prepare mass facilities for comfort women to provide comfort for U.N. troops or boost their morale,” according to documents submitted to the court as evidence. The local government gave permits to private clubs to recruit such women to “save budget and earn foreign currency.” It estimated the number of comfort women in its jurisdiction at 10,000 and growing, catering to 50,000 U.S. troops.
...
**** was and remains illegal in South Korea, but enforcement has been selective and varied in harshness over time.

US, Filipino troops kick off biggest-ever military drills, what is the message to Beijing? | DW News
Quote
More than 17,000 US and Philippines troops are holding the largest ever joint military exercises between their countries.
Called the Balikatan drills, these are an annual feature, but this year, the size and scope is bigger. For one, troops are rehearsing how to sink a ship with a rocket barrage in waters across the South China Sea and Taiwan Straits.
This is where tension has been building for years between Manila and Washington on one side and Beijing on the other. China and the Philippines both lay competing claims to island groupings in the South China Sea. And this is influencing what the Philippines will be rehearsing in these latest drills.

Macron says era of French interference in Africa is ‘over’


French president begins four-nation tour of Africa to renew frayed ties, while anti-French sentiment runs high in some former African colonies.

https://youtu.be/OriFSrfxMjA

Quote

President Emmanuel Macron has said the era of French interference in Africa was “well over” as he began a four-nation tour of the continent to renew frayed ties.

Anti-French sentiment has run high in some former African colonies as the continent has become a renewed diplomatic battleground, with Russian and Chinese influence growing in the region.

Macron said France harboured no desire to return to past policies of interfering in Africa before an environment summit in Gabon, the first leg of his trip.

“The age of Francafrique is well over,” Macron said in remarks to the French community in the capital Libreville, referring to France’s post-colonisation strategy of supporting authoritarian leaders to defend its interests.

“Francafrique” is a favourite target of pan-Africanists, who have said that after the wave of decolonisation in 1960, France propped up dictators in its former colonies in exchange for access to resources and military bases.

Military revamp

Macron on Monday said there would be a “noticeable reduction” in France’s troop presence in Africa “in the coming months” and a greater focus on training and equipping allied countries’ forces.

Last year, Macron toured Cameroon, Benin and Guinea-Bissau in his first trip to the continent since winning re-election, seeking to reboot France’s post-colonial relationship with the continent.

The tour was to “show the commitment of the president in the process of renewing the relationship with the African continent”, a French presidential official said, who asked not to be named. It signalled that the African continent is a “political priority” of his presidency.

Macron pledges to reduce French military presence in Africa

France is to reduce its military presence in Africa and transform its bases into partnerships with African soldiers, Emmanuel Macron has said ahead of a crucial trip to the continent this week.

The French president’s comments came as anti-French sentiment runs high in several former colonies in the Sahel

“The [military] bases as they exist now are a heritage from the past,” Macron said. He promised to “Africanise” the bases in the coming months. Some would become “academies” that would be co-run by French and African armies. The number of French soldiers would go down, but there would be increased efforts on training and equipment.

This “reorganisation … does not intend to be a withdrawal”, he said, adding: “We will remain, but with a reduced footprint.”

The promise to overhaul France’s military bases comes in the wake of France’s recent withdrawal from Mali and Burkina Faso after military coups led to fallouts with Paris. First, the ruling junta in Mali led to French troops leaving last year, then army officers running neighbouring Burkina Faso followed suit last month, asking Paris to empty its garrison of about 400 special forces.

Macron said France must show “deep humility” in Africa, amid what he called an “unprecedented historic situation” of security challenges and the climate crisis.

The French president has been under pressure to step up his Africa policy since a landmark speech he gave to students at a university in Burkina Faso six years ago, in which he pledged to break away from France’s former post-colonial policies in Africa and criticised the “crimes of European colonisation” promising a “truly new relationship” between Africa and Europe.

After the African independence movements in the 1950s and 60s, Paris had still intervened regularly in the domestic affairs of its former colonies and for decades retained sway through business and political ties under an unofficial policy known as “Françafrique”.


Macron said the era of Françafrique was firmly over but acknowledged there was more to be done to boost Paris’s relationship with African countries. He added that a new law would go before the French parliament in the coming weeks to fix a “method and criteria” for returning artworks to African countries from French museums.

But he hit out at the Russian mercenary Wagner group, which is present in Mali and Central African Republic, calling it the “life insurance of failing regimes in Africa” saying it was waging a “predatory” drive for mines and natural resources and committing violence against civilians, including ****.
