Uvavanyo lokuqala lwenyukliya lwaseNyakatho Korea nge-9 ka-Okthobha yayingekokuphela komothuko wakuMntla-mpuma weAsia. Lo mmandla ubuphazamiseke kwiiveki ezimbini ngaphambili ngonyulo lukaShinzo Abe njengenkulumbuso entsha yaseJapan nge-26 kaSeptemba.

U-Abe, njengomanduleli wakhe uJunichiro Koizumi, ulilungu leLiberal Democratic Party (LDP) elawula kwezopolitiko zaseJapan ukusukela ngo-1955. Uneminyaka engama-52, uyinkulumbuso encinci yaseJapan ukusukela ngo-1945, kwaye ungowokuqala ukuzalwa emva ekupheleni kwemfazwe yehlabathi yesibini. AmaJapan ashiyekileyo amjonga njenge-ultraliberal, i-archconservative nationalist. Iintshaba zakhe kuloo mmandla zimgqala njengokhetshe.

Ulilungu lomnombo ophambili ongazange ucele uxolo ngenxa yesalfure (1). Utata wakhe wayekhe waba ngumphathiswa wemicimbi yangaphandle. Utatomkhulu wakhe, uNobusuke Kishi, wayengumphathiswa kurhulumente waseManchukuo, ilizwe laseJapan elinobuqhetseba kwiManchuria yaseTshayina ngowe-1932.

Ukubuyela eTokyo ngo-1941, wajoyina iKhabhinethi yemfazwe kaHideki Tojo, eyayalela ukuba kuhlaselwe iPearl Harbor.

Ngo-1945 iUnited States yambamba yamvalela uKishi entolongweni ngenxa yokurhanelwa ukuba ngumaphuli-mthetho emfazweni, kodwa akazange aziswe phambi kwenkundla yamatyala emfazwe eTokyo (elingana neNuremberg) ngenxa yokuba i-US yayifuna ukwakha kwakhona ilungelo lezopolitiko laseJapan ekuqaleni kwengqele. imfazwe. UKishi wakhonza i-US ngokuthembeka. Emva kokukhululwa kwakhe ngo-1948, wasebenza amatyeli amabini njengenkulumbuso, ukusuka ngo-1957 ukuya kowe-1960, kwaye watyikitya isivumelwano esitsha sokhuseleko kunye ne-US esabangela uqhanqalazo olunobundlobongela eJapan.

Umalume ka-Abe, uYosuke Matsuoka, wayengumphathiswa wezangaphandle owakhuthaza ukwanda kweJapan eAsia. Ngo-1941 weza neJapan kwi-Axis kunye neJamani kaHitler kunye ne-Italiya ka-Mussolini. Naye watyholwa ngolwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe kodwa wafela entolongweni ngaphambi kokuba asiwe kwinkundla yamatyala.

IJapan ayizange ifune ukuxolelwa ngokusemthethweni kulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe olwenziwe eKorea nase China. U-Abe, kude nokukhanyela imbali yosapho lwakhe, ulujongele phantsi uxanduva lwaseJapan lwangaphambili kwaye wabagxeka abo bathatha umbono “wemasochistic” ngembali yaseJapan. Yena kunye no-Koizumi baye batyelela rhoqo kwi-shrine yaseYasukuni, ehlonipha abo "banikela ngobomi babo ngenxa yeJapan", phakathi kwabo umalume ka-Abe kunye ne-14 egwetywe izigebenga zemfazwe. Olu tyelelo lwenze i-Koizumi persona non grata eBeijing naseSeoul; bamtyhola ngokuba ngumhlaziyi owayefuna ukuzukisa umkhosi waseJapan wamandulo.

U-Abe ukwiphiko lasekunene le-LDP kwaye udlale ngempumelelo kumajelo eendaba aseJapan ubuhlanga ukuze asebenzise umba omkhulu. Ngexesha leminyaka yee-1970 kunye nee-1980, xa uKim Il-sung elawula uMntla Korea, imikhosi yakhe ekhethekileyo yahlutha abantu kunxweme lwaseJapan. Kwakukho into edabukisayo malunga nokunyanzeliswa kuka-Abe efuna ukubuyiswa kwabathinjwa abasindileyo kwaye wacela izohlwayo ngokuchasene neNorth Korea, nangona ityala elinye kuphela elingasonjululwanga.

Ngomhla we-19 kuSeptemba kulo nyaka wafuna kwaye wafumana izohlwayo ezitsha ngokuchasene neNorth Korea ngokuphendula kwiimvavanyo ze-missile yaseNodong kaJulayi (2). Wasebenzisa "isisongelo saseNyakatho Korea" njengesizathu sokubiza ireferendamu evumela ukuba inqaku le-9 lomgaqo-siseko we-pacifist waseJapan (3) utshintshwe ukuze kuvumeleke imikhosi ekhusela ngokungqongqo ukuba iguqulwe ibe yimikhosi exhobileyo ekhutshiweyo ephuma kwimikhosi exhobileyo. imida ebekwe ngabaphumeleleyo ngo-1945 (4). Eli bhongo ngoku liyonwabela inkxaso yeqela elingqonge uMongameli uGeorge Bush, eliziva lidinga umlingane onamandla wasemkhosini kumntla-mpuma weAsia ukuze ancede aqulathe iTshayina.

IJapan sele inebhajethi yomkhosi yesibini ngobukhulu kwihlabathi (i-US yinkokeli yehlabathi) ebangela uloyiko lokwenyani lokuba ukuxhotyiswa kwayo kwakhona kunokukhawulezisa ugqatso lwezixhobo esele luqhubeka komnye wemimandla eyingozi kakhulu kwihlabathi. Uninzi lwaseJapan luyawuchasa lo mbono kwaye nge-10 ka-Okthobha Abe wafumanisa kuyimfuneko ukugxininisa ukuba iJapan, ikhuselwe yi-ambrela yomkhosi wase-US, yayingenanjongo yokufumana izixhobo zenyukliya (5). IJapan ineetoni ezingama-43.8 ubuncinane zeplutonium, eveliswe ziizixhobo zayo zombane, kwaye kuya kuthatha iinyanga ezimbalwa nje ukwakha isixhobo senyukliya.

Uvavanyo lwenyukliya lwaseNyakatho Korea lwalungenakuxolelwa. Kodwa ngokuthatha isigqibo sokuyenza ngomhla awathi uAbe wandwendwela eSeoul eSouth Korea, iNorth Korea yabonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba ikholelwa ukuba uyingozi kangakanani. Le yayiyindlela yokungakhathali yokuveza ingongoma, kwaye yothusa ihlabathi. Kucacile ukuba ngaphandle kwento ethile - engenakwenzeka - ukuphumla kwe-Abe's posture yobuzwe, ukungavisisani akuyi kuncipha e-Asia.
