This clearly shows what phase Japan's ambition has reached to realize the old dream of the militarists for world domination, vociferating about "Oriental peace," says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a commentary.

It goes on:

What merits more serious attention is that Japan recently started reexamination of the standard of actions of units of the "Self-Defense Forces" which strictly defined the situation and procedures for using weapons following the adoption of the "security legislation."

Through this, Japan brought to light that the dash made by it under the signboard of "proactive pacifism" precisely means the way for turning it into a war state again and the way for overseas aggression.

It is by no means fortuitous that its neighboring and other Asian countries and Western countries express uneasiness and concern over the fact that Japan has become a country capable of provoking a war again and even it is touching off strong opposition in Japan over its dangerous and reckless moves.

The society of Japan is becoming critical of the Abe administration's railroading of the bills despite public opposition and protest statements and demonstrations are taking place in different places one after another.

The Japanese reactionary ruling quarters should lend their ears to the angry voices of people of all social standings.

People's mindset represents the will of Heaven.

The Japanese reactionaries would be well advised to bear in mind that if they persistently rush headlong into militarization and overseas expansion going against the trend of the times, this will only precipitate their self-destruction.
