日米安保に基づいて日本に駐留する米軍に自衛隊が攻撃を仕掛ければ自衛隊がアメリカ侵略をしたことになる。支那事変は、義和団事件最終議定書に基づいて支那に駐留した日本軍に支那軍が攻撃をしたから、支那が日本を侵略したのだ。村山富一や河野洋平ははそんなことさえ分かっていない。

If Japan Self-Defense Forces attacks US Forces stationed in Japan for any reason, Japan's action will be interpreted as an invasion into the United States of America since both countries maintain an effective bilateral agreement, called Japan-US Security Treaty.

The same principle has been applied to the Second Sino-Japanese War (July 7, 1937 – September 2, 1945), in which China fired at Japanese forces stationed in China as Japan was a party to Boxer Protocol signed on September 7, 1901, between the Qing Empire of China and the Eight-Nation Alliance. Therefore, China invaded Japan.

Ex-PM Murayama and Kono have been found to be so ignorant about this fact.
