USA indeed has an extremely strong influence and sway over Japanese Politics. American soldiers have committed a large number. of rapes against Japnese women but all of it got suppressed under USA's pressure. Only recently Japan opened its mouth to criticize such acts because the frequency had gotten much higher in recent years so the Japanese had to say something.
@@Groovy-d7vexactly we control everything of Japan. Even when to sneeze 🤧! We have 130 bases in Japan, 120 South Korean,120 bases in Germany 🇩🇪and total 800 bases around the world 🌎! Who’s dare to piss Joe Biden!
@@Phavon you really think you're USA? Lmfao.. American Democrats party members are USA. You proved why World calls Americans dumb. Why do you think CIA FBI Pentagon and the system itself don't want Trump as the leader bcz he'll only focus on USA..
@@ajking3184 The case you're referring to involves a tragic event in Japan related to former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's assassination in 2022, where the assailant claimed that his motive stemmed from grievances against the Unification Church, to which his mother had donated significant sums of money. This practice of giving large donations to religious groups like the Unification Church is partly cultural. In Japan, particularly within certain religious groups, there's a strong emphasis on faith-driven contributions or tithes, often seen as a path to spiritual merit or blessings. Sometimes, these groups employ high-pressure tactics that convince followers to donate significant portions of their wealth. In the case of the mother in question, she was said to be deeply influenced by the teachings and pressures of the Unification Church, believing that her financial sacrifices were spiritually important. She reportedly went so far as to donate the family’s savings, which ultimately led to the family's financial ruin. Her story highlights the broader issue of so-called "spiritual sales" in Japan, where people are encouraged or manipulated into making large financial contributions to religious organizations, sometimes at great personal cost. The Japanese government has been grappling with how to regulate such practices, and the incident has raised significant public debate about the influence of the Unification Church in Japan. This is a complex situation that reflects broader societal issues related to religion, belief, and financial exploitation.
I always wonder what really happened to Abe, it is very un-Japanese to assassinate political figures let alone be violent, unlike in the USA where they had a fair share of long history of violence and assassination against their political figures.
If you're referring to whether the Prime Minister of Japan has disobeyed American authorities, this is more of a complex geopolitical relationship than a simple question of obedience. The U.S. and Japan have a long-standing alliance, with the U.S. providing security guarantees to Japan, especially through military bases stationed in the country since World War II. However, Japan has its own sovereign government, and the Japanese Prime Minister acts in the best interests of Japan, not under direct orders from the U.S. There have been times when Japan’s policies or positions diverged from those of the U.S., but these instances reflect the normal push and pull of international relations rather than disobedience. For example: Security Policies: Japan has occasionally taken a more cautious approach to military matters, especially given its pacifist constitution, which was largely influenced by the U.S. after World War II. Debates over constitutional revision and expanding Japan's military capabilities sometimes diverge from American expectations for Japan to take on a larger security role in the region. Trade Disagreements: There have been various trade disputes between the U.S. and Japan over the years. For example, in the 1980s and 1990s, there were tensions over issues like Japanese car imports into the U.S. and access to Japan's market for American products. Foreign Policy: Japan's foreign policy sometimes differs from the U.S., particularly in relations with countries like China, South Korea, or Russia, where Japan balances its own regional interests. In short, Japan's Prime Minister makes decisions based on Japan's national interest, which can sometimes align or diverge from U.S. policies. It's less about disobedience and more about independent policy-making within the context of a strong bilateral relationship.
@@HowlingNinjaWolfGaming Nah man you are way off. It is as simple as poor performance because internal policies do not align with what the USA is telling them to do. The worst part is that Japan will continue to decline. Hopefully, the people someday wait up.
@@ernestocastillo8307 It sounds like you're expressing concerns about Japan's performance and how internal policies may not be aligning with external pressures, possibly from the U.S. You also seem to be predicting a potential decline if things don't change. Can you clarify what specific policies or issues you're referring to? That might help in better understanding your perspective.

Cover about the recent crime in Okinawa involving a us navy and a minor Japanese girl (western media isn’t reporting it and we all know why. Maybe it also has something to do with kishida stepping down)

I think it's more about Japanese culture of honour and sacrifice, whenever it's obvious that the majority of the population is already not happy with their leader....their politicians just voluntarily resigns (they can't commit harakiri anymore) for the sake of the country unlike in other democracies like my country the Philippines, even they are caught red handed of being corrupt they have no shame and still cling to power to preserve their self interest.
What's wrong with Japanese politics you ask?. Well, the answer is very simple. What is wrong with Japanese politics is that they have no power. Japan is a vasal state of the United States. Literally, Japan has literally been ruled by a single party since World war II. 😂😂
If you have trust issue on US then abolish american investment in India, make sure that Google, Nvidia, Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, Tesla, AMD, Apple don't invest in India or build factory or manufacturing plant of 3nm or above chips designed by company. If you don't like US u must dislike its big tech investment and job creation otherwise you are an hypocrite.
At least he is honest and stepped down after realising he is not making difference. It took 70 years in India to change the govt and they still think they deserve a chance.
In case of Bangladesh it was a coup d'etat instigated by American proxies there because of their PM's refusal to allow the US build a military base in St. Martine Island.
@@jordansoviet23 Bangladesh issue was created by China. China sponsored the Burmese military to push Rohingyas to Bangladesh. The polarised Rohingyas became communal and radicalised based on religion, leading to mass scale communal hatred against non-Muslims. Bangladesh is today, being run by Pakistan controlled Rohingyas. Their plan is to, use these Rohingyas, to create terror in minds of Bangladeshi Hindus, so that the Hindus try to take refuge in India. And so, the Rohingyas indisguise of Hindus, also get a chance to enter India, and spread instability across Indian subcontinent. This was started by China, continued by Pakistan and America.
Great topic for a news report. This subject is totally ignored by US mass media news. But I trust Palki Sharma and Firstpost to give me the information needed to have a rational opinion of world affairs. Thanks
Well in Japan if Japanese people no longer trust and support the PM the PM was forced to step down were as in other countries even with so many scandals and corruption they still hold unto power no matter what and maybe end their oppositions or critics
Yah you guys tend to box yourselves in, in a nationalist type of way, this is geopolitics in play, you need to have a proper history lesson to understand what is happening here and what really is happening in your country. So what you deem better is way worse than SA. Do you know what would happen to Japan's PM if he suggested joining BRICS/Future? Having them as enemies, dangerous, having them as friends, fatal. It is the 'them' that run world economics. POC we are ruled by puppets.
It sounds like you're expressing frustration with leadership in South Africa. Many people feel that long-standing leaders or political systems can be disconnected from the needs and aspirations of the younger generation, especially when there's a perception of stagnation or lack of progress. Is there something specific you'd like to discuss or delve into regarding South African leadership or current events?
@x3kuuta Nigeria's persistent struggle with corruption continues to undermine its potential, especially in the oil and gas sector, a challenge that countries like Canada don’t face in the same way. While Nigeria's GDP gap widens due to unchecked financial losses, the international community overlooks the significant impact of theft, particularly from oil pirates, who siphon off nearly 100,000 barrels of oil daily. This daily loss further hinders the country's economic growth, leaving its energy sector stagnant and preventing it from reaching its full potential.
One possible reason is that he lost to Yoon of S. Korea in the Sing-for-Dinner at the WH contest. Yoon's almost perfect rendition of "American Pie" was unbeatable. Not even Modi's "Food, Glorious Food".
Japan and the UK are having leadership crisis just like China during 1911-1937 where leaders kept changing every 6 months to 2 years. Economy was lousy and jobless numbers were sky high. All three have something in common and that was democracy and fight for power.
Despite such unacceptable frequent changes in governance in Japan, how come the country remains as developed country and does so well in consecutive Olympics? Palkiji analysis is insightful and appreciated.
Japan is a subservient colony of the American Empire. Even at the height of Japan's economic power, its political influence is much lesser than any European semi-major power. They never regained international respect after they lost in World War 2 and the Atomic bombing and occupation by the USA.😱😭😢

It's OK to call Trump a shyster, but what info is this based on? Or is that your general hate for a man that tried to build a wall and protect America from illegals? That shyster?
This is why country fight for independence, millions of people died from war to fight for their country. Freedom and independence from other country is the most important. Japan is under the control of US so they will have to sacrifice their own interests for their master. It’s quite a sad situation and they can’t escape from this until they found a fighter against the establishment
I think what ppl are not understanding in this commemt section is that she is a reporter reporting news all across the world. She is not saying india is better than japan. It was just a opinion based on facts. When the world always commnets about indian internal affairs that too in a very misrepresented way why cant a indian news channel talk about other countries. I mean thats what these ppl are supposed to do!
Everyone seems to talks about Japan a lot, but I just wonder how many of you really knows them, few thousands years ago, we all know that they live by the sea as a fisherman, but some became Pirates for living and earns a famous nick-name given by Chinese as `Woh-Kou` , which means `short pirates`, another word `short` is the characteristic difference that Chinese notice about that race!
Honorable politicians can be found in japan Once thier names tattered by controversies they just step down but in the Philippines if a politician make a all unlawful act and controversies like corruption they called honorable 😂😂😂😂
The Japanese uphold the highest standards and refuse to accept mediocrity or failure. They are honorable and will resign if they know they are no longer effective, unlike individuals in other countries.
Imagine your best friend is a bully and You're with him otherwise he'll bully you. And sucking your soul like a parasite. Japan really has that friend and there's nothing they can do!
⚠️Warning⚠️: Don't be a fool know the facts first. Many comments here provide incorrect information about whether Japan was actually colonized by the U.S.A. The United States did not colonize Japan. However, the U.S. did occupy Japan after World War II from 1945 to 1952. During this occupation, the U.S. played a significant role in Japan's reconstruction, democratization, and the drafting of a new constitution, but Japan remained an independent nation and was not colonized in the traditional sense. The occupation ended with the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco in 1951, which restored Japan's sovereignty in 1952.
Ways that a country can become rich in a short span of time: 1.Have giant reserves of oil and gas or some other high value and high demand resource with a small population 2. Be a tax haven/financial services hub with a small population 3. Get lots of grants from USA and other rich countries (like Israel) 4. Colonization
if you have (1) and you are a non-christian nation, you will be introduced to western values, which are very costly apparently, and you need a lot of oil to learn them.
