Japanese ex-diplomat offered the government to block the Kuril straits

84

Former employee of the Japanese diplomatic service Akio Kawato presented his vision of solving the "Kuril issue" or the issue of the "northern territories", as the Russian islands in Tokyo are called. Kawato outlined his thoughts in Newsweek Japan. The ex-diplomat of the Land of the Rising Sun reminded the Japanese about the adoption of constitutional amendments in Russia, which imply the possibility of criminal prosecution for denying the country's territorial integrity.

According to Kawato, Russia was initially determined to "compromise" with Japan on the islands issue. But then, as the Japanese expert notes, the economic and military power of the Russian Federation began to grow - the country's GDP since 2001 has grown at least 6 times.



From the material:

This led to the growth of nationalism and ideas of sovereignty in the country, even among very young people. And this suggests that Russia will not abandon such a political line, including after the departure of Vladimir Putin from the presidency.

Kawato writes that Japan needs to "endure and wait." In his opinion, the situation will change when "China shows its ambitions in the Far East."

The ex-diplomat of Japan says that "Russia at one time stole from China territories that are many times larger than the area of ​​Japan."

Kawato:

China will at some point remember these historical circumstances. But this is not for the foreseeable future.

At the same time, the Japanese ex-diplomatic officer goes even further in his thoughts and proposals and declares that the country's authorities must demonstrate strength and decisiveness on the issue of the territorial "problem".

Kawato:

The Japanese government must show that it is capable of blocking the Soya and Tsugaru (La Perouse and Sangar) straits, which are supply arteries between mainland Russia and the islands.

In his material, the Japanese author writes that all this "should be done calmly and calmly, monitoring the reaction."

At the same time, Kawato does not write with what forces and means Japan can block the Kuril Straits.

                Akio was completely struck by the burning nostalgia for the "northern territories"! Как is it to "block" international straits? This is possible only in case of war! Again, Sangar (Tsugaru) is still possible for the Japanese to block: it lies between the Japanese islands. And how is he going to block La Perouse (Soy), which lies between Sakhalin and Hokkaido and half of it belongs to Russia? Although, of course, Tsugaru is also needed: in winter La Perouse freezes and in winter they always walk through Tsugaru.
                No, it’s as if Kawato was out of his mind! Although ... China is setting Russia against Russia ... Again, it sees a huge growth in economic and military power, Russia's GDP since 2001 ... And many here on VO do not see it!

    -The war between the USSR and Japan was completed on September 2, 1945 by the signing by the Japanese of an act of unconditional surrender.

    -The state of war was officially terminated on October 19, 1956, when a joint Declaration was signed: "The state of war between the USSR and Japan ceases from the date of entry into force of this Declaration, and peace and good-neighborly friendly relations are restored between them."

    -The Kuril Islands came under the control of the USSR as a result of World War II, which was stipulated in the Cairo Declaration of 1943, the Potsdam Declaration of 1945, as well as in the 1951 peace treaty signed in San Francisco.

    -Japan unconditionally recognized the Potsdam and Cairo Declarations and signed the act of surrender in 1945. And in 1951, the Japanese abandoned their claims to the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin.

    All these "ex" s never cease to amaze. As soon as there is free time, they start to fool like that, Mom, do not grieve. what Do not forget gentlemen samurai that for each block there is a penetrating blow. Blockers, EPRST!

    It happens. It’s spring all the same. My cat does not howl in the spring. But it will howl for a week and calms down. So do the diplomats.

    Don't play the fool, Japan
    Here are those boots, you are freezing, I suppose.
    After all, the Kuriles from Hokkaido are two shores:
    Sake, vodka, pollock and salmon.
    Sake, vodka, pollock and salmon ...

      The line needs to be replaced:
      Sakhalin and Hokkaido are two coasts:
      Little, vodka, beer and salmon.

    The theme of the island in Japan is supported from outside by their master, i.e. USA. By and large, the Japanese do not need these islands, they are needed and interesting by the United States exclusively in military terms, control over our fleet, air defense, etc.
    Those. Japanese position on the islands is not Japan's sovereign position

    The Japanese government must show that it can block the Soya and Tsugaru straits

    Tsugaru is which between Hokkaido and Honshu? Well, block it, we don't mind.

    All liberals should take note. For those who still think that "they could drink Bavarian". What "partners" want us to be.
    Everything in this phrase:
    Russia was determined to "compromise" with Japan on the islands issue. But then, as the Japanese expert notes, the economic and military power of the Russian Federation began to grow - the country's GDP since 2001 has grown at least 6 times.

    A berserker was released for reconnaissance in force))) How do we need to react to this? And how do you generally need to react to sick ex-politicians? No way. The guy is called "non-factor".

    But what are they "consuming" there that go crazy? It's time to remind us that we are still at war, and the Pacific Fleet will have a little "fun".

    Well, well, good luck. The ex to the dilomat is good, he is already old, he will die soon anyway, but are the rest of the Japanese ready for the consequences?

    I think the reaction to an attempt to block will be immediate.

    If you look at the Chinese maps, then at least Tuva and Primorye belong to historical territories. The Turkish people have seen everything here recently. And let me show here the GERMAN cards! What do they modestly mean by Central Europe (slightly picking their toes in the sand, like Vitsin in "Prisoner of the Caucasus"). Something very suspicious, it resembles the borders at the time of WWI. And the Poles with the Balts - so in general they should be completely delighted with this. Transylvania, Vojvodina, Galicia - the inviolability of borders? no, have not heard

    the situation will change when “China shows its ambitions in the Far East

    In my opinion, Japan will get it first
