I missed some things. I don't know if the things I want to share were mentioned in the forum. But I don't think there is any relevant content under this topic.
The length of the video is a bit annoying, and it's an AI translation, with no subtitles.
This TV program interviewed retired generals of the JSDF, so the program has a strong political propaganda color. They call it the 'dawn of the new era'
I don't want to translate other nonsense because they are all political propaganda based on supporting the policies of the ruling party and support for the Prime Minister. For them, strengthening the military through "defense" is naturally a good thing.
The most astonishing part is the following:
1、 There is no clear provision that Japan can‘t have(me:really?) aircraft carriers, ICBM and strategic bombers.
2、The ability to take preemptive action(attack) is necessary. Like Israel and the United States bombing Iran.
3、Russia's nuclear threat violates the principle of nuclear non-proliferation, therefore Japan should negotiate with the United States to deploy nuclear weapons in Japan, and Japan should be granted the authority to decide whether to use (US) nuclear weapons.

——It has to be said that the civilian scholars are more radical than the military.
His idea is in wartime, the JMSDF will enter the "dangerous area" in the name of evacuate their citizens. They will explicitly warn China not to obstruct. If their "humanitarian assistance" is blocked, it is an attack on Japan. And PLA as “inexperienced army' may pull the trigger first.
