U.S. Ambassador to Tokyo announces U.S. support for Japan's sovereignty over South Kuril Islands

The United States supports Japan's position on ownership of the southern part of the Kuril Islands, thereby recognizing Japanese sovereignty over them, said US Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel.

In a statement in honor of Japan's February 7 "Northern Territories Day" celebration, the US ambassador reaffirmed Washington's support for Japan's sovereignty over the southern Kuril Islands. At the same time, he stressed that the US authorities made the first statement about the ownership of the southern Kuriles by Japan back in the 50s.

Speaking about Russia's unwillingness to give the islands to Japan, Emanuel said that the violation of the sovereignty of other countries for Moscow is not "something new" and cited the situation with Ukraine, where Russia "occupied" Crimea and part of the Donbass, as an example.

Meanwhile, Russia does not recognize any celebrations like "Day of Northern Territories" because the southern Kuriles are Russian territory and Russian sovereignty over them is non-negotiable. According to Russian Ambassador to Japan Mikhail Galuzin, the transfer of the Kuril Islands to the Soviet Union is clearly recorded in the Yalta Agreement of 1945, which includes the signatures of Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin.

Apparently the American ambassador does not know about this, or the US does not intend to comply with any international treaties, which is most likely.

Earlier, Japan sent another note of protest to Russia, in which it called unacceptable the holding of military exercises near the island of Kunashir, which is part of the Japanese "Northern Territories". In response, the Kremlin said that the islands belong to Russia, and she conducts military exercises on her territory wherever she wants.

I already wrote once, the executioner and the victim are an "alliance" under an American military boot. On the territory of Japan there are 156 US military facilities, of which 8 are full-fledged military bases with aircraft, ships and strategic missiles. Currently, about 50 US military personnel are serving in Japan. Approximately the same number of Americans serve in South Korea. (2018 data)

Otherwise, you can soon reach sympathy for the victims of the Soviet bombing of Dresden in 1945.

And all my life I thought that Dresden was ironed by shavers with amers. This is how, slowly distorting history, they forced young Japanese to believe that the USSR bombed them with atomic bombs.

[Gado]

Soviet bombing of Dresden in 1945.

You just showed your level of knowledge. Dresden was destroyed by American and British bombardments. Did you write this on purpose or by accident? Or are you generally a mishandled Cossack?

[ABC-schutze]

I pay tribute to your zeal to look "objectively neutral", but, alas, this will not work for you ...

Japan was forced to capitulate by the USSR, which entered the war, and not some kind of "nuclear" strike. He forced me with his quick and decisive (even beautiful ...) defeat of the Kwantung Army, its most powerful Japanese land group. Without this defeat, the Japanese would indeed have beaten (and killed) the Americans for a long time. Incl. and on their territory, which in this case, the Americans no longer subjected to any "nuclear bombing" ...

Firstly, they didn’t have “so many bombs” then. Secondly, "nuclear bombing" of the territory on which you yourself are fighting is more expensive for yourself ...

By blocking energy supplies from the southern part of Sakhalin occupied by Japan, the USSR also greatly contributed to the surrender of the sons of the goddess Amateratsu ...

And I thought...

Marine Le Pen is fine. She resolutely and consistently defends French sovereignty. Thus, the national security of their country. In contrast, from the Americans occupied so far, the Japanese and South Koreans.

However, due to vision problems, I was somewhat alerted by the photo for this article ...

This American "Emmanuel" gives the Japanese a "half-meter" vibrator? ..

Dissatisfaction with the US Marines has been building up among the population of Okinawa for decades.
Last week, local police detained 24-year-old Marine Marvin Earl James for the second time for indecent behavior and disturbing the peace. Previously, he was accused of using force against a government official.
in February, a Japanese court sentenced a soldier to a three-year suspended sentence for assaulting a taxi driver. Three months ago, 20-year-old Jamison Michael Bisset drank heavily in a bar and was returning to base. He called a taxi, and on the way he suddenly attacked the driver. Throwing him out of the car, got behind the wheel and drove around the city. The stolen car was badly damaged.
And the matter is not limited to petty offenses and hooliganism - guests in uniform often commit serious crimes, including murder and rape.
In 2016, Marine Justin Castellanos confessed to rape. According to him, he saw this Japanese woman in one of the hotels. “She was sleeping in the corridor. I shook her, she didn’t wake up,” the defendant said at the trial. He dragged the woman into a hotel room and abused her.
It is noteworthy that the crime was revealed during the rallies of Okinawans against American bases after the murder of 20-year-old Rina Shimabukuro. The perpetrator turned out to be U.S. citizen Shinzato Kenneth Franklin, a former Marine who lived on the island with his wife and daughter.
He tracked down an unfamiliar girl on the street, stunned her with a blow to the head, raped her in his car and strangled her. The body was hidden in the roadside thickets. The police determined the place where the last time they recorded the GPS signal from the deceased's mobile phone, and the recording of the outdoor surveillance video camera showed the make and number of the killer's car.
The US command has introduced a curfew for military personnel. Everyone was ordered to return before midnight, they were forbidden to drink and buy alcohol outside the bases, and to organize entertainment events.
...
...
...
The island of Okinawa, whose territory is less than 1% of all of Japan, occupied by the Americans at the end of World War II, is home to two-thirds of all US military bases in Japan (34 US military installations, some of them built in urban areas). The proximity of this island to the Korean Peninsula and China contributed to its transformation into one of the main outposts of the Pentagon in this region. It is here that more than half of all American soldiers in Japan are quartered (26 American soldiers, mostly Marines).
Such a density of American military bases and military personnel on the island even gave rise to a sad joke among local residents that "not American military bases are on Okinawa, but Okinawa is located on US military bases."
The behavior of American military personnel very often causes outrage among the local population, and the crimes they commit almost always give rise to demands for the withdrawal or, at least, a serious reduction in the American military presence.
The residents of Okinawan are especially insistent on closing the Futenma base with an airfield located in a densely populated area of ​​the city of Ginowan, surrounded by schools and houses. The staff of the base is known for their love of revelry and fights, and rapes of local girls often occur in the vicinity of the city.
Investigating the situation in Japan, the SNIS reports that, according to the Okinawa prefecture, only for the period from 1972 to 2010, 23 incidents involving the US military occurred every month, 13 of them were criminal.
However, due to local tradition, these incidents do not reach the Japanese police. In the Land of the Rising Sun, there is nothing worse than shame from experienced humiliation, and because of this, many victims hide the fact of rape all their lives.
Therefore, rare investigations are conducted by the US military police, which also refer the case to a military tribunal on the basis of the Agreement on the Status of the US Forces in Japan and on Crimes of American Soldiers on Discharge Outside Military Bases.
In particular, this Agreement states that if a soldier returns to the base, then the American side takes him into custody. However, the American military judicial system turns out to be so humane that out of 45 incidents involving US soldiers that occurred in Japan, including 000 fatalities, not a single one ended in a real prison term!
...
...
...
A similar situation with the growth of offenses by the US military is emerging in South Korea. According to official statistics from the South Korean authorities, the number of crimes committed by the US military since their occupation of South Korea in 1945 to the present day has exceeded one hundred thousand.
These are murders, sexual violence and numerous traffic accidents. During the period of Lee Myung-bak alone, the number of crimes committed by the US military in South Korea increased by 22% compared to the number of crimes committed during the reign of his predecessor, and reached almost 2008 cases from 2012 to 2, while the perpetrators were detained only in one or two cases.

Of course he doesn't. Japan is de facto occupied by the US. From its territory they threaten the Russian Federation and China.

The US may support the claims of the Japanese to the South Kuril Islands, but Russian sovereignty over the South Kuril Islands is recognized.
