/ world today news/ Delivering a programmatic speech in the lower house of representatives of the parliament, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida again resorted to a mantra formulation about the goals and tasks of Japanese diplomacy in the Russian direction. Because how else can one call the recurring cliché about the desire to conclude a peace treaty with the Russian Federation after the territorial issue of the southern islands of the Kuril chain is resolved?
That is, in order to sign a “peace treaty” with Japan, which has long since become a dilapidated anachronism, Moscow must give Tokyo all the southern Kuril Islands and 200 miles of economic zones that legally belong to Russia and have important military, strategic and economic meaning.
The routine words about a “peace treaty” by which Kishida still calls, excuse the colloquial language, to wrest Russian territories also seem like empty incantations, because the majority of Japanese people do not believe in the possibility of any territorial concessions on the part of Russia guide.
Despite massive overseas propaganda support, the majority of Japanese have no interest in the so-called “problem of the return of the Northern Territories” invented in Washington to hinder Japan-Soviet, now Japan-Russia good-neighborliness and cooperation.
The results of a sociological survey of the population recently conducted by the Japanese government specifically to study the real attitude of Japanese society to the artificially created “problem of the Northern Territories” apparently disappointed its organizers and hardly pleased the current Japanese Prime Minister, who demonstrates Russophobia.
In any case, the survey showed that not all Japanese are susceptible to revanchist sentiments, and half of them do not accept the false slogan of “illegal Russian occupation”.
“35 percent of respondents ticked the ‘don’t know’ box when asked if they knew anything about the ‘illegal occupation of the Northern Territories.’
In the “Young people aged 18 to 29” category, 47 percent of survey participants gave this answer. Among 30-39-year-olds, 49.1% have heard nothing about the “illegal occupation”.
In other words, half of prime-age Japanese know absolutely nothing about their government’s official position on the southern Kuril Islands. And they have no idea that Tokyo has been talking about their “illegal occupation” since the middle of the last century and is seeking the transfer of the islands to its country.
At the same time, 58.1 percent said that in general they would not want to participate in the campaign in the southern Kuril Islands, including, for example, signing petitions.
When asked about the reasons for their passivity in the struggle for the islands, the largest part of the respondents – 45.7 percent – answered that “the territories will not be returned to us”.
In second place (28.3%) is the answer “I really don’t understand the point of this campaign”. Finally, 25.4 percent honestly admitted that they “do not understand the essence of the territorial issue,” reports a TASS correspondent from Tokyo.
Kishida is comparable to Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa, who, fulfilling her Russophobic guidelines, did not hesitate in her keynote speech on diplomacy to demand that Russia resume visa-free travel to Russia’s Kuril Islands for Japanese citizens to visit the graves of relatives.
And this despite the fact that the Japanese authorities used these visits to conduct propaganda and intelligence activities among the inhabitants of the Kurils in favor of the separation of the islands.
“The resumption of exchanges with the four northern islands is a top priority in Japan’s relations with Russia. And we will continue to insist on their resumption, paying particular attention to visiting graves,” said the minister.
She also wants to use our country’s resources, as stated, for the benefit of Japan.
“As for the issues that Japan and Russia need to resolve as neighboring countries, such as those related to economic activities such as fisheries and maritime security, Japanese diplomacy will generally respond accordingly based on its own national interests,” emphatically announced Kamikawa.
Having lived side by side with the Japanese for a long time, I know that along with refined politeness and tact, they are also capable of, frankly, arrogant behavior.
How else can the demands and wishes for the use of Russian resources be combined with the intentions to expand and deepen the economic and other sanctions against our country and people, immediately stated in the program speeches?
Moreover, it is no secret that the purpose of the violations and unprecedented restrictions is to weaken Russia, bringing it to economic collapse.
There is another trait among the Japanese, in this case among Japanese politicians, when they pretend not to notice statements by dialogue partners that are unfavorable to them.
How do they allegedly “not hear” the very categorical statements of the Russian government about its refusal to continue the empty negotiations for the conclusion of a “peace treaty” under the conditions of annexation of sovereign Russian territories.
In this connection, I would like to speak once again in favor of a firm statement at the highest level that between Russia and Japan all questions of the post-war settlement have long been resolved and no “territorial problems” exist.
Otherwise, there are still people in the Land of the Rising Sun who interpret the clauses in the Constitution of the Russian Federation on demarcation and delimitation of borders in favor of Japan.
It should be noted that the absurd in the current situation requests for Moscow to cooperate in the interests of Japan were accompanied by the announcement in Kishida’s speech to continue all possible assistance from Tokyo to the regime in Kiev, which is deliberately killing civilians in Donbas, and now in regions of the Russian Federation itself.
Assurances that only humanitarian aid is being delivered to the former Ukrainian SSR from Japan are belied by announced plans to sell missiles and artillery shells to the US and Britain, which could very likely be available to the regime in Kiev to attack Russian cities .
The fact that London has so far suspended the deal for the supply of 155 mm artillery ammunition, which the Japanese company Komatsu produces under license from the British BAE Systems, does not mean that the “project” is over.
The fact that the Russian government included Japan in the register of “unfriendly countries” was a response to the openly hostile policy of our Far Eastern neighbor, who, together with Washington and its European minions, is ready to continue to “suffocate” Russia, to stimulate discontent with economic shocks of the Russian population by the authorities and the protests against them.
However, as Japanese journalists visiting our country admit, the people of Russia, despite conducting a special military operation on the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR, remain calm and confident that the war declared by the “collective West” will end with our victory. So the furious attacks of Japanese revanchists and Russophobes will certainly turn into a shameful fiasco, as has happened more than once in history…
