U.S. Helps Japan Build First Postwar Aircraft Carriers

The United States is helping Japan build its first aircraft carriers since World War ii, Newsweek reported on October 8.

On October 5, a live webcam in San Diego, California, captured the arrival of a Japanese helicopter carrier that is being converted into a light aircraft carrier.

The JS Kaga carrier will conduct flight tests with F-35B fighter jets in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. “The trials will pave the way for increased interoperability with our allies,” reported the U.S. F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office.

Common enemy: The conversion of these Japanese destroyers comes amid the growing naval threat from China in the Indo-Pacific region. China has the largest warship fleet in the world by numbers, and it has been flexing its military muscles, sending an aircraft carrier near Japan’s and Taiwan’s waters.

Last month, the U.S. sent a laser-equipped warship to a naval base in Japan as a show of force.

Betrayal: Since the end of World War ii, Japan has gradually remilitarized with the help of the U.S. It is chipping away at its constitutional restraints, which state that the Japanese people “forever renounce war” and will never use force as a means of settling international disputes.

It might seem logical for the U.S. to ally militarily with Japan to counter China’s belligerence. The Bible shows, however, that America’s support for Japan will backfire.
