Southern Kuriles in the new global configuration

105
Last week, the talks between Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kisida and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov again rested on the opposite interpretation of the “Kuril issue”. The parties actually confirmed the immutability of the existing positions, although they managed to stipulate the preliminary conditions for Vladimir Putin’s visit to Tokyo. Earlier, President Putin and Prime Minister Abe should meet at the UN General Assembly (September 28). Perhaps the final clarity will be introduced there: each of the parties will try to understand how much the opponent is ready to really make concessions, and how acceptable these concessions are.



In Tokyo, they are well aware that the era of a new redivision of the world, which brings new opportunities, has come. Prior to 2014, the dispute over the South Kuriles was a purely Russian-Japanese side-match, to which from time to time someone would connect from the outside. Washington sluggishly supported Tokyo, but without much enthusiasm, considering who fought against that war against whom. However, after the Crimean events and the unfolding global confrontation (which is a miracle in itself, given how unequal the resources of the parties are) the local territorial dispute ceased to be so and turned into one of the fronts of an increasingly bitter conflict. Apparently, the outcome of this confrontation will decide the fate of the Southern Kuriles.

Of course, the Japanese government is determined to resolve the territorial dispute primarily through diplomatic means, but if they fail, it is obviously ready to consider other ways.

Missed Opportunities

In 2012-2013, relations between the Russian Federation and Japan underwent dramatic changes. It can be said that the parties took a fresh look at each other and significantly moved towards a compromise on the Kuril problem. The possibility of this compromise was then characterized by the word "hikivake" - "draw". What was hidden under such a mysterious term we can hardly find out now, but apparently, it could have been a question of dividing the islands in half by area, with the payment of hundreds of billions of dollars in cash compensation by Tokyo.

Southern Kuriles in the new global configuration


Bilateral relations have become so warm that Prime Minister Abe has even ventured to attend the opening of the Olympics in Sochi, which the leaders of the United States and European countries defiantly ignored.

However, then Euromaidan happened, the annexation of the Crimea and the war in the Donbas. Under US pressure, the Land of the Rising Sun was forced to join anti-Russian rhetoric and impose sanctions. In response, Russia announced that the fate of the islands is no longer being discussed. If there was a chance (or the illusion of a chance) to agree on compromise terms before the Crimean-Donbass epic and the imposition of sanctions against Russia by the Russian Federation, now we can almost say unequivocally that President Putin will not accept this. Everything has changed, from the general political situation to a purely psychological mood. The Russian leadership, in every way advocating the “Minsk Agreements” for the Donbass, cannot afford to surrender the South Kurils either.

During a meeting with Putin at the UN General Assembly, Abe will most likely try to reanimate the old format, or at least understand whether this is possible in principle. The idea of ​​dividing the islands in half with the payment of compensation to Moscow is something that the cabinet of the current Prime Minister could agree to. If the Japanese leadership sees that Moscow does not compromise, then in future negotiations with Putin personally there will no longer be any point. The conditions of the Soviet-Japanese declaration 1956 of the year Tokyo are not satisfied categorically, and the rejection of the South Kuriles is not even considered.

With an almost guaranteed failure of diplomacy in front of Japan, there remains only the forceful option of returning territories. Of course, right now it is unrealizable for obvious reasons: although the Russian military doctrine stipulates that nuclear weapon can only be used when there is a threat to the very existence of the state; in conditions of instability, no surprises can be ruled out. Therefore, the stake can be made precisely on the fact that civil unrest will begin in Russia under the load of external and internal problems. In this scenario, the signing of a peace treaty is not beneficial to the Japanese government: without it, the question remains not only for the southern, but also for all the Kuril Islands, as well as for the south of Sakhalin. Objectively, today there is not a single international treaty that would secure the transition of these territories from under Japanese sovereignty to Russian. That is, there are two independent documents. The first is the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the formation on the territory of South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands of the South Sakhalin Region as part of the Khabarovsk Territory of the RSFSR from February 2 1946. The second is the San Francisco Peace Treaty from September 8 of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR is internal document, which, of course, is recognized within the Russian Federation, but has no legal force beyond its borders. The San Francisco Peace Treaty, in turn, is not recognized in the Russian Federation, but it is valid for most of the world community.

At the same time, a rather curious legal problem arises, as a result of which Japan (and the United States under certain conditions) can declare its residual sovereignty over Southern Sakhalin, as well as the central and northern Kuriles. So far, these islands in Tokyo are considered a no-man’s territory (“terra nullius”), and the US position on the topic is at least ambiguous, leaving room for broad interpretation in one direction or another. In the southern Kuril Islands, however, both Washington and Tokyo are united, recognizing them as Japanese territory under Russian military control.



New law and subtle hints

A lot of noise in the Russian press was also caused by the law adopted in Japan to expand the powers of the Self-Defense Forces, which received the right to use weapons outside the country. It does not seem to concern the southern Kuriles directly, since the disputed islands are not considered “foreign” there, and the existing legal provisions were enough for the opening of hostilities.

Another point is interesting. The Empire of the Rising Sun now allowed itself military responses to provocations. What is considered a provocation? Yes, whatever. For example, a high-ranking official’s visit to disputed territories or exercises that are regularly held there. It all depends on the specific situation and angle of view.

Implicit signals are heard more and more often. If earlier their source was mainly Moscow - in response to each diplomatic squabble, the Ministry of Defense conducted demonstration exercises with firing on the disputed islands - now hints are heard from the opposite side. So, on August 27 a second Izumo-class helicopter was launched into the water, named after the Kaga, in honor of the Japanese aircraft carrier of the Second World War. Some Russian commentators noted that the former Kaga was involved in the attack on Pearl Harbor, but almost no one remembered that he had gone to It’s part of the carrier-based squadron of Iturup. The hint is more than transparent.

With the deterioration of the economic state, it is politics that comes to the fore in Japan. The country has slipped into deflation, and the launch of the printing press, together with the fall in world prices for raw materials, did not produce the desired effect. By and large, the Japanese government would not mind lowering the standard of living of its citizens, for the maintenance of which most of the resources are spent and throwing out the aggression accumulated in society. As a maximum - squeeze out the population from large cities to villages. And only a major military crisis is capable of this. But at the same time, it is critically important for Tokyo that Japan itself does not look like an aggressor in the eyes of the G-7 colleagues and could count on their help.

Rearmament of Japan and Russia

So far, the pace of rearmament of the Self-Defense Forces can be characterized as very modest. In the near future, it is planned to purchase five convertible planes V-22 Osprey (with a view to purchasing 17 machines) and five F-35A fighter jets. In addition, 3 unmanned RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned vehicles were ordered in the United States. The Ministry of Defense also ordered 40 transport aircraft of the new generation Kawasaki C-2, each of which can take up to 38 tons of cargo. Well, by the end of 2015, the first flight of the experimental Mitsubishi ATD-X fighter is expected, although the timing of this long-awaited event can once again be shifted.

This year, the Maritime Self-Defense Forces received one submarine and a helicopter carrier, and ground forces are testing the 6 of the new AAVP-7A1s amphibious assault vehicles, which were the first signs of the fifty-million amphibious tracked party that were already ordered in the US and will arrive later. Together with three Izumo and Hyuga helicopter carriers, and three Osumi large landing ships, each of which has two Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) landing boats, the appearance of the AAV7 and V-22 Osprey of Japan will significantly expand Japan’s landing craft and the speed and scale of the forces involved.

In the Far East region, the Russian Federation has relatively reliable positions. Modern aviation, air defense systems S-400 and the Pacific Fleet, which back in Soviet times created such a good backlog that it still makes an impression.

However, to the fleet there are certain questions. Apparently, the Mistrali Pacific Fleet, apparently, will sail to Egypt, and the somewhat completed submarine Nerpa has been serving in India for three years. Only a few ships and submarines can be considered built under the new government. In particular, the K-150 Tomsk submarine (built from 1991 to 1997), the K-296 Samara submarine (1993-1995), the B-190 Krasnokamensk submarine (1992), and the B-354 submarine Mogocha (1993), the K-550 Alexander Nevsky submarine missile cruisers (2004-2013 years of construction) and the K-551 Vladimir Monomakh (2004-2014), the R-29 large missile boat was built for 11 years - from 1992 to 2003, the Perfect corvette was 10 years old - from 2006 to 2015 (or 2016), and the tiny D-107 landing boat was built for a whole year and a half. The calm situation in the Far East allows shipbuilders to continue to maintain such a leisurely pace. The Pacific Fleet, however, has never been a priority area for rearmament in the Russian Federation, although modernization of some previously built ships is still underway.

We also specifically mention the construction of military camps on the islands, which was announced during the time of Serdyukov, but this is an independent and not so simple topic.

When discussing the defense aspects, it is worthwhile to immediately make a reservation that no one is going to fight the Russian Federation in a conventional way, for now the hybrid wars are relevant. Japan has no resources for such a war, but the United States has it, which does not hesitate to use the opportunities of both its own and numerous allies around the world.

One of many fronts

The Kuril question does not exist by itself, but is closely linked to the huge number of multidirectional economic and political trends in the world. In the end, the fate of the southern and all other Kuril Islands, as well as Sakhalin, will be decided not at all in sea battles, but in a hybrid war that the West leads against Russia.

Washington and European capitals have not only declared Russia to be the aggressor in connection with the Ukrainian events - right now the topic is actively developing that Moscow, which is actively helping Bashar Asad, is also responsible for his “crimes”. That is, the price that Russia will be obliged to pay in the event of a geopolitical defeat is gradually increased. By leveraging resources in other regions of the world (such as Syria, Ukraine, or some other), Moscow will be less able to throw at a bowl when new foci of conflict arise, and the deteriorating socio-economic situation will further narrow the range of decisions made.

Something repeats story 1904-1905's, but today the Land of the Rising Sun is clearly not going to be the first to climb into the flames, preferring the rest of them to do the dirty work: Islamists, Ukrainians, system and non-system liberals, and all the rest. After that, the old question will again be on the agenda.

      Yes, the Kuriles are their eternal "election bogey". There will be no them, there will be such stagnation in politics that everything will be covered with moss. And so the Japanese people are warlike (in contrast, by the way, from the Chinese). The only good news is that their younger generation has decayed essentially under the influence of Western culture and clearly does not want to fight.

      So not one of me has such a feeling.
      Honestly, against the background of articles on the Kuril Islands, an opinion is being created on checking the public’s readiness to give up.
      Somehow unpleasant, faith begins to disappear.

        The question is also what in return? As I understand it, the Japanese really need the islands and we do not really need them. So let them offer a normal price, for example, as a gesture of goodwill and guarantees of securing obligations - a lease of a base (Air Force, Navy and Dry Forces) in Hokkaido for 500 years with payment of 1 ruble per year and cooperation in the economy and technology. And just giving something for the sake of some kind of "peace treaty" is a crime. And under a peace treaty with Japan and a military base, it would have been possible to get something from China, for example, financing the construction of infrastructure for the new Great Silk Road, along which it would also be easier to agree in favor of the Russian Federation.

          As I understand it, in return the Japanese offered a lot of money and the lifting of sanctions that were introduced against the USSR to supply high-tech equipment. Plus freedom of navigation across the Tsugaru Strait. I am not the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I don’t know the details - but it can be assumed with a high degree of probability.

              Not at all. Japan signed an act of surrender, which was also signed by a representative of the USSR. This put an end to the war. The peace treaty in San Francisco secured territorial changes based on the results of the war, and the USSR did not participate in the signing of the peace treaty, which means its territorial changes were not legally enshrined.
              But no one signed a peace treaty with Germany either. Territorial changes were enshrined in the Yalta and Potsdam Allied Conferences - and that’s all. This turned out to be quite enough.

                Germany was formed from the western occupation sectors, in response to our sector was formed the GDR. These state entities have received mutual official recognition.
                Germany signed the Act of Unconditional Surrender. But her troops from the western theater of operations were concentrated in the land of modern Schleswig-Holstein. German weapons were also concentrated there. Curiously, the capital of Germany for a short time before the surrender in May 1945 was the town of Plön on Lake Grossen Plönsee and also in Schleswig-Holstein. According to the "Unthinkable" plan, these German troops were to launch a new offensive against the USSR under the leadership of the USA and Great Britain. Our allies did not really take into account the act of surrender. Like the political situation has changed. But then all the possibilities did not arise for a new war.
                The political situation has changed in Japan. They openly legalized the possibility of using the Self-Defense Forces outside Japanese territory. Who can guarantee that the Japanese will not refuse to recognize the Act of Surrender regarding Russia? But there is no peace treaty. So the war continues. It’s just that Japan has no opportunity to really fight with Russia.
                This topic was highlighted in detail by our internationalists several years ago.

          the theme of the islands is smoothly squeezed by the fact that in general they have ceased to (almost) have strategic importance. At one time, these islands of the USSR blocked the Sea of ​​Okhotsk practically. That is, although it had in the middle a hole in international waters, it was surrounded on all sides by the Soviet economic zone. Now, not without the help of Japan, the Sea of ​​Okhotsk has become completely internal Russian. But, even if you give two islands, then there will be problems with the release of Pacific Fleet into the ocean, especially in winter. (As far as I know)
          As such, these islands themselves are not especially needed by anyone except the Americans, who completely close the Pacific Fleet in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

        The Japanese want at least half of Iturup or Kunashir, not only because of territorial claims, but because it will deprive the Sea of ​​Okhotsk the status of the inland Russian sea and give them access to biological resources and the opportunity to produce gas there. However, the status of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk as our inland has recently been confirmed by the UN and it has been registered with us. Therefore, the transfer of neither Kunashir nor Iturup was ever considered by anyone. In Soviet times, there were plans to transfer Shikotan and Habomai in exchange for concluding a peace treaty, since they would not give the japs ​​access to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and maybe some kind of negotiations on them were in our time. But the japams have nothing to offer for them.
        In fact, ours are preparing for a possible defense of the Kuriles. Several weeks ago, the Bal complex was transferred to Iturup without noise - there were pictures of its unloading. The rearmament of Pulad, stationed on the islands, began. The construction of a squadron of 6 "corvettes" 20380 is planned especially for the protection of the islands. One was supposed to enter service this year, but it is already clear that this will happen next and most likely the second will also receive the Pacific Fleet in 2016. The third has been laid and will most likely be built by 2019. After the commissioning of Perfect and Loud next year, two more ships are to be laid, and after the launch of the corvette "Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov" the sixth will most likely be laid. Exactly the same series of 2 corvettes 6 was planned for the defense of Kaliningrad in the Baltic. Of these, 20380 are already in service, and the remaining 4 are being built at Severnaya Verf and will become part of the Baltic Fleet by 2.
        Also, for the defense of the islands, they were going to order some sort of diesel-electric submarines, but so far there are no contracts yet. And there is infa that they will either transfer Ustinov from the north after the repair or Nakhimov after the modernization, but this can still change. Commander for the defense of the islands of Moscow region is preparing and seriously. Again, the Pacific Fleet bases in Kamchatka and Vladik already covered with 400.

          no, the Sea of ​​Okhotsk has officially officially become completely internal Russian, although if the islands had been given away earlier, it would be a blessing to the Japanese, not to mention the Americans, who would fearlessly hang around the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Now the main problem is the passage to the Pacific Ocean from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to Pacific Fleet ships, especially in winter and especially liners.

    that the era of a new redivision of the world has come, which brings new opportunities

    It would be better if Japan tried to realize these "opportunities" elsewhere. Trying to return the territories that rightfully belonged to Russia is a fix idea. You need to talk with Russia without the long-forgotten world of samurai problems. If we follow the Japanese logic, then soon Germany will also present territorial claims to us, and then will begin to demand compensation for damages for damage caused in World War II.

      If you follow the Japanese logic, then soon Germany will present territorial claims against us, and then it will begin to demand damages for the damage caused in the 2nd World War.

      It is easier with Germany - all the results of the war were enshrined in the decisions of the Yalta and Potsdam Conference. Then the United States still needed the help of the USSR in the war with Japan. After the surrender of Japan, such help was no longer needed, the Cold War began, and the peace treaty in San Francisco was concluded without the USSR.
      In reality, there is a joint declaration of the USSR and Japan of 19.10.56, when the USSR recognized the possibility of the return of the Shikotan and Habomai islands to Japan, but only AFTER the conclusion of a peace treaty.
      Joint Declaration of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Japan (1956). Section 9.

      The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Japan agreed to continue negotiations on the conclusion of a Peace Treaty after the restoration of normal diplomatic relations between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Japan.
      At the same time, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, meeting the wishes of Japan and taking into account the interests of the Japanese state, agrees to the transfer of the Habomai Islands and Sikotan Islands to Japan with the fact that the actual transfer of these islands to Japan will be made after the conclusion of the Peace Treaty between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Japan .

      Japan, under pressure from the United States, refused this declaration at one time and the issue was frozen. Putin, in my opinion, in 2013 confirmed Russia's readiness to return to discussing the issue within the framework of the declaration, but Japan did not express such readiness.
      The implementation of the declaration has its pros and cons:
      1. Normalization of relations with Japan - "+".
      2. Loss of islands - "-".
      3. For Russia there are non-freezing straits for the exit from the Sea of ​​Japan and Okhotsk - "+".
      4. For Russia, the entire economic zone in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk for fishing remains - "+"
      5. Image losses - both within the country and abroad - "-".

    Why even nuclear missiles. Why stoop to the moral low as "usa". Don't use it at all. I think it can be used only against one country. There are many other weapons worthy to wipe them off the face of the earth. And then this is also not necessary. Just a vacuum bomb or to land the marines with airborne forces and that's enough for them, but in general, a couple of TU-160s may be enough for them to fly nearby with open bomb bays.

      There is nothing wrong with selling arms. The USSR made good money on this at the time. The bad news is that we sell most of our products for export, leaving little to ourselves. In addition, we often sell the latest models of equipment when our own army did not really see them. This was not the case under the USSR. He exported mainly light versions of weapons and only after they had saturated his troops, and not like we have now: they had not yet managed to get the S-400, PAK FA or Armata into service in their troops, and the bureaucrats were already ranting who what and in what quantities will be sold.

        From WHAT it follows that this is the JAPAN position, can you argue?


        In 2012-2013, relations between the Russian Federation and Japan underwent dramatic changes. It can be said that the parties took a fresh look at each other and significantly moved towards a compromise on the Kuril problem. The possibility of this compromise was then characterized by the word "hikivake" - "draw". What was hidden under such a mysterious term we can hardly find out now, but apparently, it could have been a question of dividing the islands in half by area, with the payment of hundreds of billions of dollars in cash compensation by Tokyo.

      > What for Russia billions for the sale of its land ???
      > There should have been political concessions from the samurai ...

      It's all about the amount of these billions - when there are very, very, very many, these are political and any kind of concessions.

      Most of the authors on the topic of the Kuril Islands simply ignore the position of their native state - the topic of the Kuril Islands rose from the filing of the Soviet authorities, and never moved them.

      From the point of view of the Russian state, Russia / the USSR does not have firm enough positions in the Far East - far, few people, few communication lines, few industry. In a word, the balance is not in Russia's favor, and the state is looking for allies on the Far East. The idea is to exchange islands, some of which are too close to Japanese territory, to allied, no less, relations.

      Many, many, many, many billions of dollars invested in Russian industry, along with Japanese industrial technologies, may well become the equivalent of allied relations.

      This policy of Russia in the Far East - territories in exchange for allied relations, is quite traditional for Russia, even the USA sold Alaska at that time, just because of the naivete they did not particularly trace the guarantees of good relations, and in the 19th century relations between Russia and the United States as a whole were friendly.

      I suppose that the Russian Federation is going to exchange some of the Kuril Islands, most likely the smallest detail near the borders of Hokkaido, for a large-scale industrial investment in the Russian Federation from Japan. Japan must do in the Russian Federation what the United States once did for the USSR — financial and technological assistance in the new industrialization.

      It is quite obvious that those who are against industrialization will primarily interfere with this policy within the Russian Federation, because right after the start of industrialization, it will have to cut all the obstacles out of power - and therefore it is not surprising that Medvedev is drawn every time in the Kuril Islands and spoils everything.

      If everything is correctly formalized procedurally, first it will be possible to get money and industrialization, and then the Kuril Islands.

      The Japanese will go to such a sequence - they have already helped the Russian Federation in the UN, agreeing to recognize the Sea of ​​Okhotsk as an inland sea of ​​the Russian Federation. Without the consent of Japan, such a decision was not possible, and therefore it is clear that Japan’s degree of confidence in the Russian Federation is huge now.

      And the situation in the world now is such that the price of reindustrialization for the Russian Federation is the same as for the USSR before the war. In such situations, it makes perfect sense to make sacrifices in order to achieve strategic goals.

      In fact, if the Russian Federation receives reindustrialization in exchange for some of the Kuril Islands, this will be exceptionally successful, as it means that Japan will make conscious victims for relations with the United States for allied and reliable relations with the United States, because it is obvious that the reindustrialization of the Russian Federation will cause high-quality cooling of Japanese-American relations.

      T.ch quite it’s not obvious that Japan itself is ready to pay the real price for these Kuril Islands

            Russia would like to get for the islands - political concessions.

        In fact, if the Russian Federation receives reindustrialization in exchange for some of the Kuril Islands, this will be exceptionally successful, as it means that Japan will make conscious victims for relations with the United States for allied and reliable relations with the United States, because it is obvious that the reindustrialization of the Russian Federation will cause high-quality cooling of Japanese-American relations.

      Russia withdraws the limits of 4 islands

      But after all, Japan, too, was taken beyond their borders, which means that they will not get to it either. wink .
      As I understand it, a red line of demarcation was drawn on these maps not only by land but also by water. Iturup will have a land border, the islands are divided by the total number of all disputed islands (this is worse than 1956) and they offer money for this. And the red line also has bold arrows indicating the direction of the Russian and Japanese territories, as Territory is written.

    The Japanese are doing their best to probe the weaknesses of our government, and at the same time, in parallel, they are thinking through all the options for solving the problem through diplomatic means, in order to choose the most tasty and tempting of them, making Russia, as they say, "an offer that she cannot refuse."
    For example, they can promise to lift all sanctions against Russia; enter visa-free regime; bring billions of dollars into the economy of the Kuril Islands at their own expense; provide all islanders with Japanese citizenship and relevant privileges; promise good lift to those islanders who still will not accept Japan and leave for the mainland; to invest in economic and industrial projects in Russia (there are also projects, for example, Disneyland in Vladivostok and the Vladivostok-Khabarovsk high-speed rail line), which, in principle, they are now working on; to open a bunch of branches of Japanese firms and production of Japanese goods in Russia with the employment of the local population; promise free access for Russian companies to the Japanese part of the Kuril Islands, etc. etc. A lot of options.
    Yes, and there have already been precedents when our officials did "cave in to a changeable world", despite the previously alleged "principled" position on this or that issue. The gas discount for Ukraine is a vivid example of this. We can recall the actual "drain" of Libya, the non-delivery of the S-300 to Iran, the indecisive position on Syria and the situation in the Donbass. And "settled" territorial disputes with China, Norway, etc. are also not forgotten.

    each side will try to understand how much the opponent is really ready to make concessions

    Those who do not understand the concessions will only come from our side, our Foreign Ministry does not demand anything from Japan in principle, nothing at all, we have no claims to the Japanese, only they demand. There is even a special picture there, for the illiterate, our islands are given to the Japanese, and from their bounty they leave us half of one of our islands out of four, in truth - the kindest people, and they could also demand Sakhalin back. I suspect we have another brilliant diplomatic victory for the best of ministers ahead of us. Although evil tongues claim that Shevardnadze was the best, but what years of Lavrov will make up for, the Norwegians have already been given the sea, Svalbard is in the process, China has been given away on cupid, Siberia is in the process, now Japan will be "settled" and there will probably be a complete set. Then only to satisfy the territorial claims of the Baltic limitrophes, this is efficiency.
    "no winner - no beaten"
    This is generally five. No, you know the winner, no one smashed the Kwantung army, no one signed the surrender documents. Go somewhere the winners, what a misfortune, you understand laurels, you understand Putin, you understand, all eyes have overlooked, they cannot understand to find. I recommend contacting the military registration and enlistment offices, probably a couple of thousand winners are still alive, they will advise the "fathers of the nation" how it was, who won whom.

    The Japs should bombard the Kuril Islands with cheap goods, then secure and hold a referendum there on the return of historical territories home. All should be provided by green Japanese little men - a ninja. No need to invent anything - everyone invented the Russian leadership. And then screaming - while trying to smoke, I translate for Russians - I translate the nyash-meat of our Kuril Islands (along Poklonskaya).

    Now I will speak not only on my own behalf, but also on behalf of our ancestor "Prince Miloslavsky".
    So:
    "What's the matter, comrades? I ask you, precious ones - what's the matter?"
    I wanted to "squander the state land? Give up the Kuril volost? So you can't get enough of any volosts!"
    Our heroic ancestors of their valuable great blood collected, collected - so that we are all p.p.so.s.r.a.l.i?
    Well, of course - not just like that, but for the money!
    So what?
    "So I'm waiting for an answer to my question?"
    It looks like our power - "demons seized" ... demons of profit and betrayal.
    "The tsar knows what he is doing - the state will not become impoverished"?
    I just want to "bark at them - in-oh-oh-oh-n"!
    "How do we allow" this? Are we military people, seriously discussing the question on these pages - How many pieces of silver will we get by selling part of the Russian land? For denyushka or for the technology of producing popcorn?
    For Assad, you see, they are ready to sacrifice Russian soldiers .. but for their holy Russian land - do not, they say, quarrel and the moment, you see, is difficult ..
    Brad!
    And what right do our superior temporary workers have "to sign such documents" as the transfer of our land to the primordial historical enemy?
    No really! - "Since they took it .. not to give them back?"

And the protection of an inch of native land did not raise doubts or discussions then - even in kitchens. And already in our time, quietly quietly gave everything for which our soldiers died in those recent times. And let anyone say about the "fraternal Chinese" people (Ukraine was also given Crimea - to the fraternal people). As in the case of Crimea then, and then Damansky, and with the Kurils in the future, we will then "then" explain - about the wise decision of the rulers. Therefore, it is necessary to completely suppress even the idea of ​​"trading" our land! Py.Sy. And under some kind of "peace" treaty with Germany, France and Poland grabbed the original German lands? The winners decided so _ and that's it! Now maybe Germany would buy back these lands - but if she just tried to hint about it! The groan of the Poles and the French will rise to the utmost. Well, what about us?

    In general, in fact - this is a brilliant design of the Yankees:
    Kuril Islands and the evolution of the peace treaty project
    - There was such an article - an idea - not to allow Russia and Japan to cooperate.
    That's why the Kurils were invented ... AND ONLY for this ..
    This is not an accident.
    Designed - ingeniously - If Russia vdruk gives 4 island - it loses access to the Pacific Ocean
    for the Pacific Fleet and the exclusive access to the resources of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk ...
    (no one in Moscow will do this)
    And if he refuses - endless conflict with obstinate Japanese.
    BUT even if Moscow gave away all 4 islands to the city, we are provoking
    Russia-Japan conflict and pushing samurai ON to the north!
    The work of a great master! The victim just nowhere to go!


    By the way, before our very eyes, exactly the same "Kuril Ridge" was erected between Germany and Russia

    2 Throwing her bait in the form of Ukraine (neither Hitler nor William II could, but you Toritlochka can !!) love

      Yes, the Black Sea Fleet is now safe. Yes, the pipe is almost not relevant.
      Yes, Russia no longer needs to subsidize Ukraine - these are the problems of Germany ...
      But as we all understand - the complete elimination of Russia from the Ukrainian affairs can not be physically.
      at about the sunset of socialism, the GDR received a sudden loan from BAVARIA!
      and here and there-the Germans .. albeit on a different side of the iron curtain ..

      Anyone who understands politics a little will understand that this is completely absurd and impossible
      for Russia, completely cut itself off from Ukrainian affairs.

      But this is what will fuel the ongoing conflict with Germany ...
      Which SUDDENLY already considers Ukraine to be a zone of its interests.

      So it will be an unhealed abscess ...
      And out of the blue - what to say - the work of the master ...

      The main task of the Yankees was to tighten the Germans in the Zapadensk swamp - which they did ..
      Now, with ANY layout of cards - Russia is a deadly enemy for freshly baked

        The trouble of Ukraine is that it is not the Kuriles - there are many people
        and not South Korea - there will definitely not be a technological miracle.
        None of the Ukrainians subscribed to live in Africa - and the new Vlad clearly promised
        European standards for quality of life.

        So the problem is that too many there are Russian-speaking ..
        Those. There is still a problem in West Germany multiplied by 10
        Monolingual country with a much higher standard of living ..
        North Korea South Korea ..

        And no one can forbid in the Russian-speaking Internet and TV space to discuss the problems of Ukraine.
        But the German news agencies and bloggers have nothing to say,
        in any case, it is convincing to prove to a Kiev resident why he should live on 200 dollars a month they cannot.
        Those. we have a classic ideological diversion
        (Eastern voices tell how the Germans rob Ukraine)

        For Berlin - it's tryndets.
        But it’s absolutely impossible to provide a standard of living in Ukraine even in Latvia - from an economic point of view ...

        So most likely Ukraine - North Korea No. 2 - will cut off the Internet and collect plates from the roofs.
