The Ukraine crisis is no stranger to you.
The following is from the serial column of Yoshiko Sakurai, who brings the weekly Shincho released on February 17 to a successful conclusion.
This paper also proves that she is a national treasure, a supreme national treasure defined by Saicho.
The following facts are new to me and the rest of the world.
This fact also proves that my discourse that the United Nations is a sloppy organization is correct.
Ukraine gave up all of its former nuclear weapons and handed them over to the mouthpiece, trusting that all of the permanent members of the U.N. pledged not to invade Ukraine.
But now, no country is willing to intervene militarily to help Ukraine.
So the Ukrainians are literally desperate to fight on their own.
The following points also point out that countries like China and Russia use the U.N. for their propaganda.
China and Russia have claimed that they are the true democracies and touted their UN-centeredness.
They believe that they can win if they involve the weaker countries and outnumber them.
Russia supported the “one China policy” and stated that “Taiwan is a part of China” and “Russia does not allow Taiwan’s independence.”
Russia opposes the U.S.-Japan-led Indo-Pacific strategy to create a closed bloc circle and has strongly objected to the AUKUS.
Russia also condemned Japan’s release of tritium water into the ocean.
It is a must-read for the Japanese people and the rest of the world.
The Ukraine crisis is no stranger to you.
On February 11, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan recommended that all Americans living in Ukraine evacuate the country within 48 hours.
He said a Russian invasion of Ukraine is possible during the Beijing Winter Olympics, which close on February 20, and that the invasion could begin with airstrikes and missile attacks that could kill civilians of any nationality.
The president will not risk sending U.S. soldiers into a war zone to rescue people who could have left but did not,” he said.
The New York Times reported that about 150 U.S. servicemen stationed to train Ukrainian troops withdrew over the weekend of March 12 and 13 and that the number of chartered and private jets flying out of Kyiv airport with Americans on board was the highest in six years.
It is clear that the Biden administration is determined not to intervene militarily in Ukraine, no matter the situation.
Against this backdrop, Ukrainian President Zelensky’s plea to Biden to visit the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, in the next two to three days, saying that it would certainly help to ease tensions, has been coldly criticized as clinging to unrealistic dreams.
A specific deserted line of sight in Western countries, I feel as if it happened to me。
Mr. Kishida should be the one to realize that his dream of a nuclear-free world and his stance of relying on other countries for national defense is now causing the United States to look daunting.
The U.S. decision not to intervene in Ukraine has set the tone for the policy of the West.
Many countries, including Britain, France, and Japan, follow the U.S. lead.
It is unlikely that economic sanctions and other tactics will be enough to overcome Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military invasion. Still, the priority now is to keep the G7 countries together.
But the Biden administration has not been able to do even that.
“The closest since the Cold War.”
A typical example of this is Germany.
The purpose of German Chancellor Scholz’s visit to Ukraine and Russia on November 14-15 was to determine where Putin’s goals lie.
How will Russia govern Ukraine after it takes Kyiv?
If it takes the resource-rich east, will it also take the West, which has fewer resources and contains Chernobyl?
The Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics on the eastern side of the border with Russia are controlled by pro-Russian residents. Any number of scenarios could be considered, such as whether the two republics should be made independent of whether a pro-Russian government should be established in Kyiv and brought under Russian control, as Russia successfully attempted in Kazakhstan. The possibilities are endless.
Scholz may try to get Nord Stream 2, a gas pipeline connecting Russia and Germany, into operation.
Germany, which relies on Russia for 60% of its energy needs, should keep in mind that it may end up becoming a heretic in the G7 and act in Russia’s favor.
Amid the chaos, there were reports in Nagatacho that Russia might launch a military invasion on March 16.
On the morning of April 14, Mr. Kishida held a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC), but he did not indicate his policy on the Ukraine issue.
Isn’t Mr. Kishida beginning to go astray along with Mr. Biden?
Isn’t the U.S. grand strategy now evolving in a most unfavorable direction, far from its original objective of concentrating its efforts on China, the greatest threat?
Zbigniew Brzezinski, who served as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs in the Carter administration, once warned that China and Russia should not be allowed to form a grand coalition and a grand coalition between China and Russia would be the greatest threat to the United States.
President Biden crawled out of Afghanistan at the end of August last year.
Even so, his strategic intention to pull out of the Middle East and focus on China was accepted as correct.
But now, instead of concentrating on China, the U.S. has brought China and Russia closer together.
If you look at the joint statement after the China-Russia summit held on the occasion of the Beijing Olympics, their grand coalition line is clear.
China and Russia claimed they were the true democracies and touted their UN-centeredness.
They believe that they can win if they involve the weaker countries and outnumber them.
Russia supported the “one-China policy” and declared that “Taiwan is part of China” and “Russia does not allow Taiwan’s independence.”
He opposed the US-Japan-led Indo-Pacific strategy as “building a closed block” and vehemently opposed “AUKUS.”
Russia flattered that the realization of President Xi Jinping’s “Community of Common Destiny” was important and blamed Japan’s release of tritiated water into the ocean.
He added that the two countries are “the closest alliance since the Cold War,” he said.
“Not a military alliance is barely a salvation,” the authority said.
The best drinker in politics
Tadae Takubo, Vice President of the Japan Institute for National Fundamentals and a leading researcher in Nixon, pointed out.
“Now is the time to adopt a reverse Nixon strategy,” he said. When the Soviet Union was intense, Nixon separated China from the Soviet Union and led the Soviet Union to collapse. Now that China has become a giant, we must focus our wisdom on pulling Russia away from China. That was the goal of former Prime Minister Abe and former President Trump.”
Their attempts have fallen by the wayside, but it can say that the grand strategy they envisioned was the right one.
Nevertheless, what is Prime Minister Kishida doing about the Ukraine crisis?
Mr. Kishida served as foreign minister for four years and seven months under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
As one of the best drinkers in the political world, Mr. Kishida must have had many opportunities to drink with Mr. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister.
Why can’t he make use of this personal network?
In his book, Mr. Kishida writes, “There is no better expert on diplomacy and defense than myself.
The same goes for Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, who is said to be a brilliant man. So why isn’t he using his brilliant mind for Russian diplomacy?
The leaders of the Foreign Ministry lament that they have no contacts in Japan.
But if Japan makes no effort to resolve the crisis, there is no way it can ask the U.S. and European countries to lend a helping hand when a similar crisis strikes Taiwan, the Senkakus, or Okinawa.
Suppose it is perceived that Japan did not act during the Ukraine crisis, which threatens the lifeline of Europe. In that case, it is unlikely that the international community will respond to a request for help, as the Taiwan crisis is a contingency for Japan.
Ukraine gave up all the nuclear weapons it once had and handed them over to the Kuchia, trusting in that pledge by all the permanent members of the U.N. Council that they would not invade Ukraine.
But now, no country is willing to intervene militarily to help Ukraine.
So the Ukrainians are literally desperate to fight on their own.
Japan, on the other hand, has not revised its constitution. The SDF is not even a “national army. Do the people of Japan have the will to fight?
Mr. Kishida only advocates the three non-nuclear principles and the reduction of nuclear forces.
There are signs that the U.S. is becoming suspicious of Mr. Kishida because of his unrealism.
Unless Mr. Kishida and Mr. Hayashi come to grips with reality, they will not protect Japan, let alone Taiwan.
