Photo] From Chizuru Azuma ‘s X Azuma wrote in her post on the 27th, “I meditate on the reality that people are made to believe that defending the country by force is a strong country and the individuality of the people is despised,” and added, “Before and during the war, we were brainwashed to believe that this was patriotism, and peace was stolen from us. I think now is the time to learn from the past once again,” he wrote. In the following post, he wrote, “If we were suddenly attacked from somewhere! I am terrified when I think of that. So I have high hopes for diplomacy. I hope that you will negotiate and interact carefully, carefully, and desperately for the sake of peace and national interests. Let us hope that Japan’s unique diplomatic power will be demonstrated,” he also wrote. In this post, he referred to opinions in favor of the possession of nuclear weapons, saying, “The idea that Japan is a strong country if it possesses nuclear weapons, on the contrary, is exactly the kind of flower garden you have in your head. He added, “It is not that easy for Japan to possess nuclear weapons.” “I think it is better to think about the atomic bombings and the Nuclear Weapons Convention with a deep knowledge of the issues, not just the atmosphere or superficial images of them,” he continued. Although Azuma did not mention it directly, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said in her policy speech on March 24 that “we will make the Japanese archipelago strong and prosperous” and “it is necessary for Japan to take the initiative in fundamentally strengthening its defense capabilities.
