Okinawa Independence, Yankee Go Home

Okinawa Independence, Yankee Go Home

Okinawa, Japan is riddled with numerous United States military bases. There are groups on Okinawa who want to close down the U.S. bases, and others seeking Okinawan independence from Japan. With independence the thinking is it would be easier to close the U.S. bases.

These U.S. bases are needed to assist the U.S. Marines to respond rapidly in the event aggression needs to be halted or just provide a deterrent.

The Okinawans who have a legitimate concern about the American bases are being exploited by the commies. The commies in China and North Korea would like to see American bases close in Okinawa. With a decrease USA role in Asia the commies will be free to continue with their aggressive belligerent activities against their neighbors in Asia. More specifically they can be expected to move on Japan’s Senkaku Islands, and Okinotorishima atoll (Marcus).

When these Okinawans demonstrate, they are in agreement with the commies, all though both for very different reasons, however still commie condoned.

If the U.S. is removed from Okinawa it would create a security vacuum with the commies rushing in to fill the void to the disadvantage of Japan. Before injecting the USA perhaps the Okinawans may want to support Prime Minister Abe’s attempt to revise Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution and redefine the Japanese military.
