The Japanese are ready to learn Russian diplomatic
Good and correct signals come from the side of the "rising sun". The phrase: Japan's position is, that the four northern islands belong to her…».
On the sly, the Japanese are moving up to more convenient negotiation parameters for us - they have nowhere to go. The Chinese Dragon that raises its head remembers everything very well., especially how the Japanese boot stomped on it, and Uncle Sam reels his fishing rods everywhere. Even if the "unsinkable aircraft carrier" becomes one of the last places, where do they need to turn, this in no way eases Japan's future in post-Pax Americana.
Well, Trump is well aware, that the more he has time to close the bases and withdraw the warriors and property to the puppeting America before X, the less problems later in different parts of the world you can get hold of. Yes, The United States of America is given a providential chance in the form of Trump, hour X postponed, but quite reasonable doubts creep in about the possibility of fulfilling these evacuation plans in sufficient volume. The President is hampered by the Cold Civil War and the decades-old notion of "what the US is and how it should behave".
"Land of the Rising Sun" must oh, how to rush to reach a new level of cooperation with us, But, like in America, all previous political discourse hangs like a dead weight on such a movement. For too long and hard everything was built in line with, set by the State Department curators. This is reflected in the clan "samurai" succession., after all, Shinjo Abo is the grandson of that same Prime Minister Kishi, who signed an agreement with the Americans 1960 of the year, and it is no coincidence that the glory of "America's favorite war criminal" was entrenched in his grandfather, an ardent advocate of US interests in Japan.
During the war years, he was an economic adviser to the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria and organized the total robbery of this territory., was part of the two military governments of Japan in 1941-45 years. Was arrested in 1945 year and sat, waiting for the Tokyo Tribunal, but unexpectedly, a few months before it starts, changeable American Themis turned a blind eye to him, and he was released from prison. He also created the Liberal Democratic Party, the ruling party in Japan.. And he is in 1957 year became prime minister, who signed the same treaty with the Americans in 1960 year.
Japan, so is America, too long lived in a completely different reality. The artificially nurtured nationalism inherent in the Japanese elites who had lost the samurai traditions of Bushido was fed and developed by the Big Brother in the right directions.. Recent wave of hysteria, rising like ours, as well as in Japan, during the negotiations between Putin and Abe came from one center, what we have considered in detail in this material.
It is in the nurtured occupational traditions that one can tear the hair on one’s head from any advancement in matters of the Kurils, but at the same time completely ignore the general vassal position, what we are seeing from the hysteria that happened in the press.
It all started with, that pedantic "samurai" noticed a huge black hole, that suddenly opened up in their "diplomatic Bushido", a kind of quintessence of Japanese diplomacy – in the blue book on diplomacy. From her, about, horror seppuku, the phrase "Japan's position in that, that the four northern islands belong to her…». The shaking of the foundations and multiple outraged cries is well illustrated by an article in the Japanese news agency Hokkaido.:
"This phrase has been removed from the Diplomacy Blue Book for 2019 year, presented by Foreign Minister Taro Kono during yesterday's Cabinet meeting. It means, that during negotiations with Russia, Japan no longer insists on the ownership of the four islands? During the press conference, Minister Kono stated: “We discussed this issue comprehensively”.
Russia illegally occupied four islands, and this is a historical fact. There's nothing to discuss. We don't agree, that this phrase was removed from the Blue Book of Diplomacy.
…Furthermore, lately, a compliant stance towards Russia has been striking, which can even be called servile: nor Prime, no other leaders spoke a word about the illegal occupation.
This behavior has led to, that Russia began to look down on Japan, and apparently, that there are no results on the territorial issue. We need to insist on our own and conduct appropriate diplomacy.”.
As you can see, on the sly and with some local noise, the drift of the "unsinkable aircraft carrier" went to our shores.
