This essay expresses suspicion that the flight of Russian and Chinese military aircraft over Takeshima airspace may have been a scheme involving South Korea, China, and Russia.
Citing an essay by Masayuki Takayama, it examines how the Korean Peninsula has repeatedly drawn Japan into wars and diplomatic crises, from the Battle of Baekgang and the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars to the Korean War, the Syngman Rhee Line, and GHQ’s postwar policy toward Japan.

We must take to heart and understand how much “self-serving pseudo-moralism” has convenient and abundant utility value for anti-Japanese countries like the three countries mentioned above.
This is a chapter I published on June 4, 2018, under the title “She Contributed an Article Titled ‘The Koreans, Before They Know It, Have Been Relegated to Minor Roles,’ Pointing Out Their Cunning Character of Involving Other Countries and Then Disappearing from the Center of the Stage Before Anyone Notices.”
Last night, suddenly… at the very moment when South Korea had begun revealing to the United States and to the WTO its empty bravado that merely piles more over Moon Jae-in’s lack of policy, or perhaps its panicked nature of clinging to and involving powerful foreign countries, which is its specialty, a Russian military aircraft intruded into the airspace over Takeshima, and South Korean military aircraft scrambled in response, claiming that Takeshima is their own territory.
Then Chinese military aircraft intruded, and eventually the Chinese and Russian military aircraft flew together… China and Russia commented that this was part of joint training.
This seemingly incomprehensible sudden incident… this is how Japan was drawn into the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and the Japan-U.S. War.
My book-loving friend said, “Isn’t that strange?”
I said it was probably a scheme by all the countries that appeared… a scheme to show the international community that Takeshima is South Korean territory.
Probably, South Korea made a proposal to China in exchange for recognizing that the Senkaku Islands are Chinese territory, and to Russia in exchange for recognizing that the Northern Territories belong to Russia, and this was a scheme based on agreement among the three parties.
All Japanese people must take to heart and understand how much “self-serving pseudo-moralism” by the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, the so-called cultural figures who sympathize with them, and opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Communist Party, which it is no exaggeration at all to call agents of China and the Korean Peninsula,
has convenient and abundant utility value for anti-Japanese countries like the three countries mentioned above.
In other words, they must take to heart and understand that these people are true great fools.
That is the real meaning of last night’s strange news.
The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
It is the continuation of Masayuki Takayama’s splendid essay.
The asterisks and emphases in the text are mine.
They say that the U.S.-North Korea summit will be held soon.
So the leaders of North and South Korea have met, and North Korea and China have met.
But Japan has not been called upon; Japan is outside the mosquito net; this is the failure of Abe diplomacy; Japan will be isolated at this rate, Fukuyama Tetsuro is making a fuss.
On the other hand, there are also many voices saying that it is better not to get involved with such countries.
The first time Japan was drawn into trouble on that peninsula was the Battle of Baekgang.
Baekje was defeated by Silla, and its surviving retainers came asking for help.
Unlike Kang Sang-jung, Japanese people are loyal to obligations, so when they went to help, a great Tang army was waiting for them.
Regarding Kang Sang-jung, my intuition when I first saw this man on “Asa Made Nama TV” was also proven correct in this month’s 18th installment of the series “A List of Hollow Japanese Figures,” titled “Sekiguchi Hiroshi: The Master Host of Sunday Morning Who Loves ‘Friendship’ with North Korea,” where Kang Sang-jung’s sickening delusions, finally revealing his true nature as an agent of the Korean Peninsula, are made clear.
The person who brought such a man onto Watch 9 as a commentator while saying that he “respected” him was Ōkoshi, who was the host at the time.
And not stopping there, NHK even went so far as to have him, a man like an agent of the Korean Peninsula, appear for about a year as the host of an art program.
Genuine North Korean agents served as prosecutors, and at the Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal held in Tokyo in 2000, almost entirely by agents of the Korean Peninsula, Ikeda Eriko and Nagai Akira were listed as co-sponsors, and NHK, which joyfully broadcast it, naturally continues to carry out biased reporting without interruption.
The time has long since come for all Japanese citizens to realize the abnormality of this broadcasting station, whose final production process for news programs has been hijacked by operatives and agents of the Korean Peninsula, and to correct NHK.
The other side too had come out at Silla’s request, and in the end, Tang and Japan fought.
The peninsula protrudes like a dagger into Japan’s side.
Japan urged them to become independent and autonomous because the existence there of the Joseon dynasty, like a puppet of China, was also a security problem.
The Joseon dynasty split, each faction called in Japan and China, and before anyone noticed, Japan and China were fighting seriously.
This was the Sino-Japanese War.
Japan won that war, and Article 1 of the Treaty of Shimonoseki that it concluded stated, “The independence of Korea shall be recognized.”
Various wars have occurred in the world, but there is no past example of a war fought to make another country’s independence recognized.
Even after Japan had gone that far for it, what independent Korea did was to draw Russia into its own country and provide Russia with a naval base at Masanpo, right in front of Tsushima.
Before anyone noticed, Japan was staking its national destiny and fighting the Russo-Japanese War against the world’s strongest Russian army and the Russian navy, which was four times the size of the Japanese fleet.
Japan suffered 120,000 war dead in these two wars, but the Koreans who had triggered them remained spectators the whole time.
Ahead of the upcoming U.S.-North Korea summit, Associate Professor Elizabeth Stanley of Georgetown University contributed an article titled “The Koreans, Before They Know It, Have Been Relegated to Minor Roles,” pointing out their cunning character of involving other countries and then disappearing from the center of the stage before anyone notices.
The example she gives is the Korean War, which began in 1950.
Kim Il-sung, the Soviet puppet, obtained Stalin’s permission, and before dawn on June 25, crossed the 38th parallel in one sweep, advancing with such force that he seemed about to drive Syngman Rhee, who had fled to Busan, into the Sea of Japan.
The U.S. military intervened.
With Japanese wisdom as well, the reverse landing at Incheon succeeded, and the situation was reversed.
The U.S. military reached the Yalu River, but then the Chinese army intervened, and in the end it became a battle between the United States and China.
During that time, the Koreans quickly moved into minor roles, and Syngman Rhee established the Rhee Line, occupied Takeshima, seized 328 Japanese fishing boats, killed 44 fishermen, detained about 4,000 people, and abused them by packing as many as 20 into narrow cells.
As a condition for releasing the fishermen, Syngman Rhee had Japan release 472 criminals, including Korean murderers held in Japanese prisons, and grant them permanent residency.
They leave war to other countries, while they pursue selfish national interests behind the scenes.
Ms. Stanley also sees that “the two Koreas are now desperately plotting the same scheme.”
Professor Furuta Hiroshi of the University of Tsukuba, who has deep knowledge of Korean issues, recommends that Japanese people observe the “three don’ts” regarding the peninsula: “do not teach, do not help, do not get involved.”
In fact, Japan suffered only damage when it became involved with the peninsula, but during the period when it did not get involved, that is, during the Korean War, except for the damage caused by the Syngman Rhee Line, Japan was blessed not only with the Korean War special procurements but also with the great good fortune of a change in America’s occupation policy.
MacArthur had been carrying out a demontage policy to push Japan’s industrial level back to the early Meiji period, that is, to an era in which it could do no more than make pots and kettles, so that Japan would never again become a threat to white people.
That was the role of Edwin Pauley of the reparations mission, and after the first-stage dismantling of heavy industry and the aircraft industry had ended, and when the next stage was beginning, that war broke out.
Without Japanese technology, the U.S. military could not fight.
The demontage of Japan ended.
Fukuyama is desperately trying to draw Japan in.
But Japanese people will not be taken in by his words.
Because history has taught us many times that it is best not to get involved with them.
This essay continues.
