flag Japan’s PM faces backlash for silent stance on U.S. Venezuela raid amid military expansion and constitutional changes.

flag Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi faces international criticism for perceived hypocrisy in foreign policy, particularly her government's silence after a U.S.-led military operation in Venezuela that detained President Nicolás Maduro. flag Despite Japan’s self-proclaimed role as a defender of the rules-based international order, it has steadily expanded military capabilities—increasing defense spending for 14 consecutive years, developing counterattack abilities, and discussing nuclear weapons and submarines—while pushing to revise its pacifist constitution. flag Critics warn these moves, alongside historical revisionism and right-wing nationalism, signal a dangerous shift toward militarism that undermines post-WWII peace structures. flag Experts urge the global community to remain vigilant and uphold the UN-centered international order to prevent a repeat of past aggression.
