Japan's been trying to shed debt, but here's the catch—rising rates are putting the brakes on the whole process. The deleveraging simply can't keep pace when borrowing costs are climbing. Caught between two forces, and it's making the transition way messier than anyone planned.

Japan's recent move is truly embarrassing; thinking of reducing debt seemed good, but the rising interest rates directly slapped that idea down.

Japan's recent moves are truly embarrassing; trying to reduce leverage while interest rates rise again, caught between two fires, leading to an outright explosion.

Japan's recent move is really awkward; they haven't even fully reduced leverage yet interest rates have gone up. It's like fighting themselves.

Japan's move this time is really brilliant; after reducing debt for a long time, they were actually sabotaged by interest rates... This is what you call shooting yourself in the foot.

Japan's recent moves are truly unsustainable; as interest rates rise, everything collapses instantly, and debt reduction plans become mere formalities.

Japan's current situation is a bit awkward... trying to reduce debt but getting crushed by interest rates, a classic case of shooting oneself in the foot.
