Yves Smith — Obama Bribes Abe to Support the TPP by Unleashing Japanese Military


This qualifies as either insanity or the revelation of a new Axis. Add this to aiding and abetting neo-Nazis in Ukraine, and the pattern becomes clear. The US is allying with Japanese militarism and European fascism. 

That is exactly how much of the world will be perceiving this, and especially China and Russia who were attacked by Japanese militarism and Nazi Fascism respectively.  Couple this with American exceptionalism (superiority) and a claim to the permanent right to global hegemony as the world sole superpower, and you get the drift.

This is really, really dangerous. Are American finding themselves in the position of Germans and Japanese in during the development of these movements that culminated in WWII? Everyday seems to bring more evidence.

Well, this really underlines the fact that the White House conceives of the TPP as a China Containment Agreement, not just a Presents for My Corporate Supporters Agreement.

Obama as much as said so, as I understand him.

Abe is going to have to set democracy aside to get this past the Japanese Diet, let alone the people.

To be sure, stranger things have happened, however, this will be interesting to watch if nothing else.

While I generally agree with what is said in that piece, I note that not a single word is uttered about Beijing's 'Nine Point Line' policy in the South China Sea. I've been saying for a few years now that such will produce a Japan with nukes within a decade.

In each of these matters, Ukraine included, ALL of the parties involved are guilty.
