To a great extend, they are right on the money, How else can you look at it.?

Its good to take a stand, a strong stand, in todays world, but, BUT, please do not be selective, or at your own convenience. Other wise?? credibility????

Not going to make any, any difference, unless, Japanese some how, find/create a credible opposition.

Don’t for some flattery, a free meal, you blindly, sheepishly get pulled in to do their fighting, sacrificing Japan/Japanese. Be smart.

America like to justify killing hundreds of thousands, to end the war?? The war would have ended the same way had the 2 A Bombs been dropped in some isolated area/less populated areas, etc. Hundreds of thousands need not die, to end the war. Lets not even go to Vietnam, WMD.

Mr Emanuel, what China is doing today in the world, is No Different from what America has been doing since the end of WW11. America just executes it better, propagates it better.

Japan has to be smart. No matter what you think, no matter what you wish, no matter what you want. Japan is always going to be next door to China. So, any hot conflict, Japan is going to in the middle, you know what it means? Look at the hot conflicts happening around the world today/Japanese history of 70 years ago.

The best thing is to do to avoid such catastrophe is to talk/negotiate/whatever etc with China, independently, with your own initiative, Ie, not for/on behalf of/proxy for/etc for others who have other agendas/ulterior motives.

In todays world, nobody wants any hot conflicts, most just want to work for a better life for their people, including China.

A new structure, basically, both forces under a single, total command. The Americans are not going to allow their forces to be under the command of another country, so you know the result? So you know the consequences? Get pulled/involved/ etc/etc.. into their wars/conflicts, ie, military vassal, true vassal, doing their fighting.

Just like 75%of the countries in the world. The financial system, reserved for the rich/privilege, generate/create wealth, for the top 20%, at most, of the population. The rest, are clueless.

To avoid war/hot conflict, you have to/need to, be smart. Key, don't allow yourself to be used, eg, like what happened to Ukraine. In todays world, no matter what disagreements you have//what quarrel you have, no one/country want war/hot conflict. Just engage/negotiate/etc . Do no allow yourself to be played into others agendas/Ulterior motives. Again be smart.

Chassis and aged old advice/adage. Don't buy into any public image, good or bad. IE, don't spend/waste your hard earned money on any thing based on public image which you personally don't need, require.

If the ideas/plans are altruistic, You will do it without ulterior intentions. Eg, your actions will be proactive and not reactive, IE, in response to something someone did, in this case, reacting to what China is doing. You would have been a lot more successful, if you had embark on this before the Chinese started showing any interest in the region, years ago.

First, local people are no fools, just do something/anything quietly with honest intentions/help them, don't make such bombastic statements/grand plans/news grabbing plans, fooling no one.

After achieved their goals, total hegemony/rich from industrialization through fossil fuel/colonization and robbing, its time to maintain the STATUS QUO?????? IE, no one else is allowed to become better/improve/ innovate etc, etc.

Stop parroting.

If you stop parroting America's foreign policies/geopolitics, it will be very, very easy to talk/negotiate with them. Welcome outcome, for both.

Any sort of empathy, well wishes, regards, etc are welcome, regardless.

War mongers, take your wars home, fight them in your countries, East Asia don't need any of it.

Unfortunately, very, not reflected in actions. So, its just rhetoric. So, waste of time/money.

These are the results/consequences, once you have made your choices/decisions in todays geopolitical situation. You can't have it both ways.

Yet another example of parroting the American/West.

Next time, to avoid such comments, how about taking the initiative, IE, implement/carry out something, making geopolitical decisions before the American/West?????

The problems/issues with all these trips/adventures etc, is, it echo/a repeat of what the American have attempted.

If, the American needs someone/another country to echo/repeat what it has done, it is unlikely to achieve anything that the American could not.

Because any talk/discussion will only be meaningful/useful when/if Japan recovers independence of its foreign policies, otherwise, its just a waste of time/resources. Unlike Kishida san, other heads of state value their time/resources, tax payers hard earned resources.

Outsourced, and, foolishly accepted.

If the desire to help/work with your friends/neighbors is intrinsic, its very good, everyone prospers. However, if there is a ulterior reason/motive, please bear in mind, no one is stupid/blind. I have doubt, because, you are not engaging in the same way with the elephant in the room.

Many of these countries also have/signed some sort of agreements/arrangements with China. Its not an issue. If, you are going to offer them anything/assistance/equipment, etc, its not an issue/problem, they will accept it, and smiling. But, a big but, if you expect them, to pivot to you/align their foreign policies with with, like you do with yours with America, when it concern China. Well, they are not stupid like you think/assume. especially when its 400M yen???? Short sighted, sad to say.

Why is he even wasting his precious time/money talking to Israel about this war??? He probably has a more importance/grander impression of his/country ability in this regards. Israel in not even paying attention to what America wants in this war. Use your time/money to fix problems here!!!! There are lots of them.

Next general election, this coalition will win hands down. Says everything about the country's state of politics. Only one word, SAD.

Everyone knows what their Red Line is, at least all politician should. Its Taiwan's moves for independence, as long as that does not happen, there will not be any war to worry about, Japan and Taiwan must be alert and smart, don't let/allow yourself be instigated. Who knows, Taiwan may one day still win the on going civil war, and refugees could be from China??? Whatever it is, don't be used as a pawn.

What a shame/disgrace, country's sovereignty?? The key word, "Tokyo's REQUEST", and its in its own country's territory, Japan.

What more can be said???

Its pointless, and a waste of tax payer money, if you do not have an independence foreign policies. Its non thing but a charade/kabuki play???. Act like a sovereign country first.

Economically, globalization made every one better off, trade, IE, you and i do what we are good at/efficient at, trade. In todays world, no one wants war/fight, regardless of the size of a country. Regional conflicts due legacy issues can always be discussed/negotiated with your neighbors. All you need to do is, don't get involved in others affairs, especially instigated affairs. Have an independence foreign policy to start with.

What an aim/purpose? Repel invaders?

What potential invaders?? If you don't get involved in China's internal affairs, contravene UN/your own recognition/charter. No invaders will ever any attempt to invade, therefore, non thing/invaders to repel.

Advice, have an independent foreign policies, like 90% of the world.
