Is war a diplomatic defeat?
Article 9 of the Constitution is a very delicate issue, and I’m honestly a little hesitant to write about it, but in the midst of various discussions these days, I decided to write about what I feel.
I wonder if freedom of speech should be guaranteed unless it is antisocial, but I am skeptical about pacifism, which is ideal for abandoning armaments.
It is said that when considering the avoidance of war and the survival of peace, it is not something that can be realized only by the circumstances and ideals in Japan, but it is the practical meaning of standing strongly in the extremely complicated international relations. This is because we believe that it is possible to avoid war and realize peace.
I sometimes see claims not to publicize China threat theory, but I try to hide territorial ambitions such as the recent threat to Vietnamese ships, territorial waters problems with the Philippines, and the move to annex Taiwan. It is an undeniable fact that some countries do not.
Under such circumstances, the abandonment of armament is nothing but the abandonment of deterrence, and I do not feel that it is the fastest way to the most abominable war.
I think the late Mr. Gandhi, who is famous for pacifism, also said, “We need an army for peace.”
I interpret this as a statement after seriously considering the avoidance of war and the realization of peace in a practical sense.
Of course, I am a nation who loves peace and I hate war.
However, it is important to think seriously about its realization, and to think carefully and realistically about what is necessary and how to act in order to make it possible in reality. I think it’s important.
In that sense as well, we are enthusiastically supporting Abenomics.
A strong economy can be a powerful diplomatic card.
