North Korea’s state news agency KCNA has issued a warning that Japan risks total destruction due to rising neo-militarism. The commentary criticizes Japan’s current government for pursuing constitutional revisions and revising its National Security Strategy, claiming these steps show a shift from pacifism toward becoming a “war state and an aggressor state.” KCNA also highlights Japan’s development of space combat forces and military stockpiles, suggesting that ultra-right political forces are driving a revival of militarism that began during the Abe era. The article argues that such militarism, fueled by hatred, revanchism, and expansionist ambitions, threatens regional and global peace, and warns that history shows militarism ultimately leads to national ruin rather than strength.
