I WILL TRY TO PIECE THIS TOGETHER IN A COHERENT FASHION AS THIS IS MIND NUMBING STUFF THAT NO ONE ELSE IS REPORTING ON

TOM’S INTRO TO THE TRHEAD

This whole thread is a treasure trove of excellent subtext to the Trump/Takaishi summit.

If reports that Japan is ready to sign a peace treaty with Russia over the Kuril Islands are correct, we can see the entire ARC plot (to turn a phrase) coming into focus as the US finally grants Japan its independence.

That is the main reason for Japan (and Trump’s/Abe’s) push to expand domestic military spending, to allow Japan to finally, after 80 years become a country and not a colony of the post-WWII British Empire.

The implications for the JPY are astounding here. Russian gas/oil that used to flow to Europe now will flow in greater volumes through the Arctic Sea Route as well as the ESPO pipeline to Kamchatka around the region.

With the US controlling the Panama Canal and the Gulf of America again, Japan’s energy needs can and will be supported.

All good things here folks, if (and this is the big “IF”) Trump ends this sad arrangement.

……………..

Many people around the world, including Japanese people, are unaware of this, but Japan’s supreme law is not the Constitution of Japan.
Japan’s supreme law is the San Francisco Peace Treaty, which was signed under duress aboard the USS Missouri.
The San Francisco Peace Treaty is a treaty concluded between the Allied Powers and Japan on September 8, 1951, following World War II. On the surface, it is said to have ended the approximately seven-year occupation by GHQ, allowing Japan to regain independence as a sovereign nation. However, in reality, it was a treaty that ensured the U.S. military (DS) would continue to dominate Japan even after GHQ’s withdrawal.
As a result, all of Japan’s politics up to now have been decided by the U.S. military (DS).
And the entity that decides this is the Japan-U.S. Joint Committee.
In fact, former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama testified: “Until I became prime minister, I thought all laws were decided in the Diet. But when I actually became prime minister, I was shocked to find that everything was decided at the Japan-U.S. Joint Committee at the New Sanno Hotel.”
Trump is the first American president to promise to abolish that Japan-U.S. Joint Committee. For Japanese people who know the truth, Trump is like a god. He is working hard to liberate Japan from the DS.
