Japanese expert believes that the Kuril issue will soon be closed

157

From the relationship between Moscow and Tokyo, the problem of the islands of the southern Kuril ridge will cease to exist in 2021. Japan's refusal from the "northern territories", as Kunashir, Iturup, Shikotan and Habomai are called in this country, may be influenced by the receipt of a vaccine against the coronavirus from Russia.

Such an unexpected suggestion was made by RIA News Itsuro Nakamura is a professor at the University of Tsukuba who is considered an expert on Russia in Japan.



The Japanese expert believes that the Kuril issue will soon be closed. He thinks that the adoption of constitutional amendments in the Russian Federation this year makes any negotiations between Moscow and Tokyo on the territorial issue impossible. Despite this, relations between Russia and Japan may face a reset.

Japanese-Russian relations will end the problem of the northern territories next year, but thanks to the Olympics and the vaccine, they may be able to make a leap into a new era.

Nakamura said.

In his opinion, the British and American vaccines against COVID-19 will not be enough for the organization of the Olympic Games in Tokyo in the Land of the Rising Sun, it will also need a Russian one.

In 2020, 206 amendments were made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, including a ban on transferring parts of the country's territory to other states. At the same time, the new edition adds that alienation is prohibited if it is not about demarcation and delimitation of borders

          By the way, everything is not so unambiguous with the constitution. At the last moment, interesting amendments were made to the very article (67):
          "... The Russian Federation ensures the protection of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Actions (with the exception of delimitation, demarcation, re-demarcation of the state border of the Russian Federation with neighboring states) aimed at alienating part of the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as calls for such actions are not allowed. "
          That is, to change the demarcation line, you can give the new Damansky, and the islands and everything will be within the law. But oh, they don't like to talk about this amendment ...

            Yes, but delimitation, demarcation, etc. can be bilateral. That is, the expansion of the borders of the Russian Federation.

              Then they would have written in a reservation that something like "... only in cases of increasing the area of ​​the territory of the Russian Federation."

                Any alienation of territories after Crimea is a shot not in the leg, but in the head of any leader who will agree to such a thing. And then no amendments to the Constitution on immunity will save him. In Russia, amendments are easily adopted, easily and canceled. Although this only means a new one. At the top, I hope they understand.

                  You know, there was such a country - the USSR! And we all voted for its preservation at the referendum, and we thought that no one "would do something like that," but history has shown that nothing is impossible. And about a shot in the head .... and how, having given even Damansky to China, was there a lot of noise? Or how Medvedev gave to Norway huge areas of fish spawning ... well, at least someone asked us?

                    They have this national fix idea.
                    And Russia will sell the vaccine to everyone. Regardless of the relationship. And to someone for sure in debt or even give it.

                      Let's just say - at this historical period it is. Is there a guarantee, for example, that in 5, 10, 15 years, new versions of Yeltsin, Shevardnadze, Kozyrev will not be in power ...? And I don’t quite understand how the issue of the islands is fundamentally different from the Damansky and the section transferred to Norway? Without words about strategic importance, etc. What is fundamentally different from the fact that we squander those same Kemsky volosts that we did not annex to our country from the Kuril Islands?

                        stop What kind of RELOADING of relations between Japan and Russia is the Japanese talking about ?! If Japan is not sovereign in principle and depends on the will of the United States!

                        All the more so military and civilian objects on the territory of Japan, not under the jurisdiction of Japan. The legal basis for the presence of American bases on the country's territory is the American-Japanese Treaty on Mutual Cooperation and Security, signed in 1960.

                        Militaristic Japan, which is under US patronage, cannot be trusted in principle!
                        At the same time, no transfer to Japan of the Russian vaccine against coronavirus-19 is able to change something in Japan's relations with the Russian Federation on the Kuril issue. The Japanese are simply using our vaccine to overcome the pandemic and will take on their "Northern Territories" to threaten Russia further and with renewed vigor.

                Judging by the fact that the United States openly calls Russia an enemy, Japan, an ally of the United States, does not expect any territorial concessions. Nobody will concede territory to the enemy.

            "That is, under the change of the demarcation line, you can give the new Damansky, and the islands and everything will be within the law."

            Demarcation is a clarification, agreement of the line, the islands are not rolled under the line in any way. On the border line, perhaps around the islands there can be some kind of agreement, where the economic zone, for example, is located.

            Probably the transfer of some islands to Japan is not possible at the current rate. Yapi are militarily completely under US control. And these islands are strategically important:
            1. What would be ours, and the water area around them was under our control.
            2. Whatever there is an American military base.

            If we hypothetically imagine that the islands will be transferred to Japan, both points turn against us. Only New Gorby EBN can do this ...

            The type of relationship between Japan and the US is likely to change to something like China-US now. Previously, the United States was the largest economy and largest sales market. Japan was able to sell goods to the United States.
            Now for Japan there is no beneficial economic cooperation with the United States, there is only the US debt, which is not secured by anything. If the United States refuses to pay its debts, then Japan-United States will turn into economic opponents, respectively, and in military terms.

          Since the Americans can create such bases on Hokaido, for that matter.

          They can, yes. But you should take a close look at the map.

    The Japanese expert believes that the Kuril issue will soon be closed. He thinks that the adoption of constitutional amendments in the Russian Federation this year makes any negotiations between Moscow and Tokyo on the territorial issue impossible.

    Something tells me that nothing can stop these stubborn brothers in mind. The topic of the "northern territories" will be drilled for decades.

Rather, resources and a convenient excuse to redirect the hatred of the layman, who is gradually falling into insignificance, on bad Russians.

    Yes, return these 3 islands to them and close the question, they do not require the whole range. We need normal relations with Japan. The volume of gas consumption in Japan is under 100 billion cubic meters, if the pipe is laid it will be somewhere around $ 30-40 billion a year.
    ... and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk instead of the internal one will become "external" and the Japs
    mattress mats will be instantly near Vladivostok - some, supposedly, fish, other radars set up. You swim fine, boy! Give your dacha and zhinka to the bargain ... and go to the Canaries yourself, if you wish, then to the bunk ...

    In fact, the United States has given this "fix idea" to the Japanese. In fact, the Japanese themselves do not need these bumps in the sea, the Americans need them for military bases in order to finally close the ring around Russia. On the other hand, many are whining, they say, the Kremlin will give the Kuril Islands. Here is my nagging question - if they are going to give it away, then why are they updating military equipment in the Kuril Islands and installing coastal and anti-aircraft systems there ????

    In my opinion, the issue of the southern Kuriles was closed back in 1945. Clear and understandable. Someone else aboard the American battleship signed a specific document called the Japanese surrender act. Are the Japanese like hot Estonian guys? Haven't it reached them yet? lol

    The keyword "olympiad"? The Japanese are so insolent that they think that someone in Russia will change the pointless "dialogue" about the ownership of Russian land for the presence at the so-called competitions in Japan under the guise of the Olympic Games. Sports swindlers set their own rules for any competition, and someone thinks that it is possible to contemplate such shows with pleasure as before? Unless betting ... But this is something different from pure sport and is not subject to discussion.

    A strange opinion from the Japanese, according to their own polls, a negative attitude towards Russia over the past
    Whether 10, or 20 years has grown to 78%, and after that it is absurd to talk about an imminent normalization. And a good example of successful propaganda: 30 years ago only about 5% of Japanese were concerned about the return of the "northern territories." 1,6% are friendly to Russia, what can I say.

    On the contrary, if there were several consumers, it would be possible to sell gas at a higher price. At the moment there is monopsony Chinese, they can bring down prices, because there is nowhere else to drive gas.

    You can't do that with the Japanese. They need to stuff their faces so that their teeth fly out, and it is better to drop a nuclear bomb, or two. Then they will start to respect you. There are examples.
