Chapter 185
After the Obon holiday, which has no restrictions on movement against the Covid-19, there is a sense of urgency in the medical field, but my current concern is Taiwan. Why is U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visiting Taiwan at this time? Either there is reliable information that China is going to invade Taiwan, or she went to provocation like a stupid brat general. Whatever the reason, the fact of the visit cannot be overlooked. If a war between the United States and China breaks out in Taiwan, it is clear that a total of 130 large and small US military bases in Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, will become battle fields. China's modernized precision missiles and fighter jets will be flying at these bases. Since China has a grudge against the Japanese due to its historical background, it is not hard to imagine that the reckless soldiers will commit atrocities. In recent years, Japanese people, including politicians, have become conspicuously ignorant of peace. The land of Japan will become an unsinkable aircraft carrier that surrounds China's east coast. In the worst case, Japan must prepare for nuclear missiles from both countries. Fortunately for the United States and China, neither country would be harmed.
Domestically, the problem of the former Unification Church and the damage caused by heavy rains continue to cause confusion. I'm not interested in religion, so I'm not interested in fortune-telling or omikuji. The reason is based on the experience that luck opened up when the management of the company was difficult, and I tried hard as if I was dead and had no choice but to break through the adversity. Praying without effort will not bring good luck. Even so, I am amazed at the lack of conviction of the Liberal Democratic Party members. During the election, they got advantage from it, but when the wind turns against, they pretend to do nothing with it. In the American slang, it's "Chicken". If there is an advocate who claims that at least one person's life has been saved thanks to the former Unification Church, I think he will be evaluated as having courage. In fact, there are more than a few influential politicians overseas who have made their relationship public, such as former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. My company management is a path I chose myself, but if the damage I received was great, like an unexpected misfortune in my family, I might not be able to recover. In that sense, the Paralympic Games are a celebration of those who have overcome adversity, so they touch people's hearts. On the other hand, it is quite understandable that people who are unable to recover cling to their religion. The mental effect that expensive rosary beads and pots may bring good luck has something to do with healing. Ultimately, these are personal freedoms, so how about saying the former Unification Church vase is a phony and it’s outrageous? TV shows that tell you the price of antiques are still popular, but sometimes I think why such a dirty pot is so expensive. It's too ambiguous to say that antiques are OK and religious pots aren't. Many of the products around us are covered in lies, such as disguised fuel economy, insufficient strength of parts, false labeling of food ingredients, and disguised origin. I think the mass media also needs to report impartially from a neutral point of view, rather than just treating the former Unification Church as the bad guys.
For the time being, a war between the United States and China must be avoided at all costs. I think politicians should act with more conviction. It is too late to oppose the war after it has started. As a country, what we should do now is neither constitutional revision nor armament strengthening, but rather acting as a bridge to avoid a war between the United States and China.
