Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation accused Japan of new militarization and admiration for the United States

Modern Japan is again trying to pursue a course of new militarization, which creates additional risks in the Asia-Pacific region. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.


The politician visited Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, where he spoke at the celebration of the Day of victory over militaristic Japan and the end of World War II. Medvedev made a number of rather harsh statements against Tokyo. Thus, according to Medvedev, Japan should recognize the results of the Second World War and abandon the revival of militarism.

The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation believes that the Japanese authorities are again trying to militarize the country. At the same time, in its admiration for the United States, Tokyo forgets who was to blame for the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Meanwhile, the use of atomic weapons without military necessity, against the civilian population of Japanese cities, demonstrated even then the true face of the United States. America is behaving the same way today, Medvedev believes.

The politician said that Russia needs to repulse the forces that are leading humanity to a global catastrophe. Like eighty years ago, Russia must win.

Recall that Japan has recently significantly increased the military power of its armed forces, called "self-defense forces", and is also developing military cooperation with the United States and South Korea, without hiding that it is directed against China, Russia and the DPRK. In addition, Japan is increasingly talking about the need to return control over the South Kuril Islands.

    Maybe we and Ukraine as with Japan...??? What if they respect...???
    As a child I learned
    The command is -
    You will be slapped on the cheek
    And you put another one...
    Tried to live like this
    But every beast
    She began to beat me in the face,
    Sometimes quite innocent...
    I'm tired of turning my cheeks
    And answered the blow
    "And you can't hurt us like that" -
    Those bastards said...
    Now they are me, friends,
    Bypass...
    I concluded for myself
    From this one -
    Always live according to the commandments
    Alas, it is impossible
    Just in case, sometimes
    Use your fist!!!

    Dima, Japan has bowed to the United States since the bombing of Hiroshima. It is strange to notice and notice it only now. It's better to be silent. By the way, when some real operation is born out of silence, this is a priori success. It remains to shut up and wait for real operations. What is happening now, forgive me, this is some kind of looking glass... My friend, God rest his soul, joked back in 83, exactly forty years ago or whatever. I laughed at him then, but apparently I was in a hurry and sinned ... Forgive me, brother ...

    It is necessary to cut off the cable to the japam, otherwise we will give them electricity and they will spoil us, prohibit the import of right-handed carts from there, our fans of oblique ones will be killed, and China will change to the frets. And a lot of things still need to be blocked by them, our bigwigs continue to trade with them. Straight childhood and specifically!

      Vadim, you first bring these Frets to the Far East so that their sale price in Vladivostok, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk or Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is not including the selling price of the dealer (factory official) with the price of transportation, reloading is equal to the cost of a 10-year-old TLC Prado 150. They they themselves refused to supply used cars, ask which cars to start with.
      Left-handed Japanese, Koreans and Americans have long been transported to the Far East. A 20-year-old Japanese junk (right-hand drive) can be found in areas on the coast (fish, seedlings, potatoes are transported).
      Bigwigs in the West of our Motherland continue to trade with the bourgeoisie, and nothing, in the Far East they do not whine, they live and work. The cost of fuel in the Far East is incomparably more expensive than in the West of the country from the Urals.
      Mlyn?! Before chopping and chopping, one must think in such a way that one can benefit even from enemies.

      This is what is called sophistry. Because counting as a percentage in this case is either cunning or idiocy. Given the huge difference in the various indicators of countries, it is necessary to take only absolute values.
      So:
      2% of Japan's GDP for the defense industry is $ 90 billion (the defense budget of a country with a tiny territory and with 120 million people)
      Now we look at the military budget of Russia. (We don’t count wartime. If Japan fought like it does now, her spending would also go off scale, and even more than ours).
      Before the start of the NMD, our military budget was ~ 3%. In absolute terms, this is 65-75 billion dollars. One and a half times less than Japan. And at the same time, we have a population of 30 million people more, and the country is almost FIFTY times larger in territory, and the borders are THIRTY times longer ...

      And do you seriously think that 70 billion dollars for the defense of our country, which occupies 15% of the entire land mass of the planet and needs to protect long borders, vast territories and huge wealth in these territories, is much more militaristic than 90 billion Japan, which sits on a tiny, no one the desired territory, with the lack of natural resources???

        Have you taken into account the difference in the salaries of the military and workers? What is dofig for one, then for another, even for the salary of a similar number of military personnel is not enough

        Sorry, but Japan's military budget for 2023 is $50 billion. You apparently calculated 2% of GDP in PPP terms, but the budget is calculated in nominal dollars, not in PPP terms. And, of course, prices and salaries in Japan are not the same as in the Russian Federation, so the Japanese have only 247 people in the armed forces for their budget. If they have a fleet - my respects - then the equipment of their ground forces raises questions. 000 tanks is quite good for an island country, but 500 infantry fighting vehicles and 70 self-propelled guns will not be enough.

    It was almost a quarter of a century when there were abundant cash flows into the budget due to the rise in prices of hydrocarbons. It was possible to build a lot of warships and aircraft for the Pacific Fleet. It's too late to talk now.

      And I am against spending money on ships! We've already spent enough on nuclear weapons. And what? To fight even against impudent Japs also with ships? For what? Why can't their islands be immediately smashed with nuclear weapons?

    The Deputy Chairman could have explained better why gasoline prices in Russia have risen again.
    In these difficult conditions, did the government impose sanctions against Russians or did the exorbitant greed of the oligarchs lead to rising prices?

    - The Kuril Islands came under the control of the USSR following the Second World War, which was stipulated in the Cairo Declaration of 1943, the Potsdam Declaration of 1945, and also in the peace treaty signed in San Francisco in 1951.
    - 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.

    The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation believes that the Japanese authorities are again trying to militarize the country. At the same time, in its admiration for the United States, Tokyo forgets who was to blame for the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Meanwhile, the use of atomic weapons without military necessity, against the civilian population of Japanese cities, demonstrated even then the true face of the United States.

    In the Russian Far East, in China and Korea, Japanese militarism is remembered (even in South Korea).

    Yesterday on the channel "Zvezda" in the evening they showed a documentary about the defeat of Japanese troops in the Far East.
    The mission of Colonel I. T. Artemenko was mentioned in passing as a negotiator, a representative of the headquarters of the Transbaikal Front, who offered surrender to the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Yamado Otozo. About the mission of I.T. Artyomenko was mentioned in the world.
    American President G. Truman:
    "What he managed to do was to end the war victoriously in ten days, we would have such a colonel, then there would be no need for atomic bombs."
    W. Churchill:
    "And in the East, Stalin was ahead of us. Where did he unearth this colonel?"

    However, Colonel Artemenko himself and representatives of the headquarters of the Zab.Front present with him recalled that Yamado laughed at the demand of the Soviet command for the surrender of the Kwantung Army, saying: what can a handful of Russians do, we are 600 thousand bayonets here ?!
    However, the landing force, which landed at the Mukden airfield, captured the emperor of Manchukuo Pu Yi, who was preparing to escape by plane, leaving his "puppet state". On the same day, Mukden was taken by Soviet troops, and, with the hum of Soviet aviation at the time of tense negotiations, Yamado threw the phrase in Artemenko's face:
    "Is this your bomber aircraft flying to bomb us with atomic bombs like the Americans?"
    Artemenko pretended that it could be so. Yamado accepted the terms of surrender of the Soviet command.
    In this film, it was stated that Colonel Artemenko presented himself for the award of the title of Hero of the Soviet Union by the commander of Zab. Front Malinovsky, but Stalin, knowing about the bluff of the colonel about atomic weapons in the USSR, set a resolution: to award only the Order of the Red Banner, so as not to lie ... wink
    Yamado was sentenced by a military tribunal in Khabarovsk to 25 years.

    Py.Sy. The personality of Colonel Artemenko himself is quite interesting, in the pre-war years and after ...

    Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation accused Japan of new militarization and admiration for the United States

    This official had to take care of the state of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation while in the position of president. He was even hinted at on 08.08.08... And he kept worrying about belonging to the waters of the Barents Sea, an excessive number of time zones and the unsounding name of law enforcement agencies.
    But now all the work is done, “the horses are drunk, the lads are harnessed” and ... there is no money again. For those who need them in the first place. And he, with his inherent "energy", continues to give out his "advice of an outsider" - a person outside of politics, outside of state interests.
    For example, I don’t know a single “Medvedev case” thanks to which people (not a group of individual courtiers, but the population of the country) would say that if it were not for Dmitry Anatolyevich ...
    * * *
    When the people in the country are “taken aback” by the decisions of the authorities, when the same authorities instill in the population self-love with a whip and a police baton, gagging their mouths with “especially competent” court verdicts and investigations into death, when foreign and selfish interests prevail over state and national predilections , it becomes obvious to the surrounding neighbors that there will be no answer to any disgusting thing committed against our Motherland ...
    It is then that they begin to fall under the banner of our more brazen enemies, it is then that they remember forgotten grievances, it is then that they become confident in their own impunity.
    * * *
    It remains to ask the Russian authorities and its representatives what goals they are pursuing with their double-dealing ("ours and yours") and alternately turning their cheeks under undeserved slaps in the face.

    PROHIBITE!
    This, of course, is some kind of eye-catching surreal ... but we must admit that it has become real largely thanks to our toothless foreign policy. For some reason, Russia does not want to snap back. I won’t say I can’t, because I know for sure that I can do it very well. But for some reason, he stubbornly refuses to give a slap in the face in response to when we are openly humiliated to the point of mockery ...
