YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Japan has a “peace clause” in its constitution that’s officially known as Article 9. It has barred the country from entering into war and maintaining its own armed forces. Security bills that Prime Minister Abe has been advocating for were passed by the Upper House in September 2015, allowing for reinterpretation of the constitution and raising the question of whether Japan is returning to its military past.
