The Abe administration is using the phrase 'peace and security,' but in reality, this legislation is for war.

It is not legislation for war. These are a peaceful people. Look around you. There are geeks and goofballs all over the place.

This isn't new. Governments always use lovely euphemisms for their horrors.

Sadly, many people will dismiss the truth said by Mr. Shii because of his party affiliation.
Those same people probably also believe that the Liberal Democratic Party is actually liberal and democratic!
A great lot of people think that words always mean what they mean in the dictionary and cannot see how they are being used falsely. Its clear that the LDP are masters of this sort of deception. Its also clear the world is full of fools.

Always worried that Japan is going to war. Why? Something to do with his fellow CCP?

Why are commenters always banging on about Japan gearing up for war? Where's the evidence for that?

Funny thing is that they are rather quiet over China's military actions.
