The overall plot also seems like it's pretty specifically Japanese (like I get the feeling it's mostly about Japan not being allowed to have an army after ww2, and politicians like the former prime minister Abe trying to get the constitution amended to allow the country to have an army again instead of the JSDF.... but Abe supposedly had ties to the foreign unification church cult which got him assassinated in real life) but I don't really know about the politics about it to try to actually try to analyze it or the writer's position on it is

I'm not sure if it's specifically about Japan's lack of an army but for sure it's about (perceived) irreconcilable differences between the east and west post-WW2. Honestly even with two degrees in history and a focus on post-WW2 specifically a lot of it went over my head lol. If I had to put money on the writer's position I think they're not particularly fond of either side.
