Counterattack soon made, and as the most painful japan. In August 12th, Russia in the South Kuril Islands (Japan called the four northern islands) holding military exercises the largest scale in recent years, the exercise area including the territorial disputes with Japan the country after the island and catch choose island. This is a serious warning Japan: China, catch selection, with the upper dance, color red, the island is called the South Kuril Islands, Russia territory, shout what "the return of the four northern islands", go to dream!
Andouble was hurt, he got the news, the Japanese, can't accept. "The foreign ministry will present a serious protest to the Russian side."
The Russo Japanese relations have such a situation, Andouble is sad. Since the second malignancy since, Andouble has been trying to improve Japan's relations with Russia, he also tried to Putin set almost, to engage in "private diplomacy", and Putin met 5 times this year, also invited him to visit Japan in September. Today, Putin angry, several years of efforts to play ducks and drakes at.
All of this seemingly suddenly, in fact is not surprising. He has already been used in the following twisters metaphor Andouble to Putin set magnetic: wearing a straw hat kiss - nearly no where to go. The reason lies in the existence of three major obstacles between Japan and russia.
A four island dispute. The four Island mentioned earlier, before the Second World War, Japan occupied, after the Second World War, the Soviet Union. Since then, Japan has demanded the "return". In 1955, the Soviet leader Khrushchev has said that the signing of the peace treaty between the two countries after the Soviet Union in, can in the appropriate time will Habomai, Shikotan two islands "to" to japan. After the signing of the Japan US Security Treaty "", tensions in Northeast Asia, the matter. Although the two countries after the four island had negotiations, but also is to say it. Four Island major on Russia's strategic significance, is the Russian Pacific Fleet import and throat, Mo said the four islands, is said to be "to the" two islands, but is also want from Japan obtained economic interests. Russia has recently made clear that "the South Kuril Islands, Russia's territory". Obviously, the four island dispute is hampered by a gap the Russo Japanese approached a wide.
Two, American factor. The relationship between master and servant, will not change for many years to come, of course not exclude each other a little frustrated. Overall, the US Japan relations can be used to describe the rural old saying: let him go east, he dare not go; let him at a dog, he dare not out of chicken. The Russo Japanese relations trend and temperature, subject to the US Russian relations is good or bad and hot and cold. The latest example is typical: Russia over Ukraine and split, Japan must follow, elaborations of the Russo Japanese relations instantaneous reversal. The trend in the future is the relationship between the United States and Russia, Russia is trying to revive, the United States will be suppressed, various problems will always emerge. This indicates that the Russo Japanese want to approach is not so easy. Moreover, it is vital for us not to walk too near Japan and russia.
Three, the influence of public opinion. Russia (Soviet Union) played 3 big battle. In 1904, the Russo Japanese War, Japan won, squeezing out the tsarist Russia, made in the Northeast military advantage, get on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast China Army Nomonhan battle; in 1939, Japan was defeated and had to abandon the "North Policy", and choose "southing policy", the Southeast Asian countries, the attack on Pearl Harbor on 1945, war with the United States; Soviet war, Soviet fix than hit the Japanese Kwantung Army soon. The Japanese 600000 taken prisoner, reported that 200000 people died of servitude and disease. The Soviet occupation of Japan said that "the four northern islands". In addition, Russia (the Soviet Union) is a historical account: the Soviet Union after the October revolution, the 14 country to its military intervention, which is japan. So, even if one does not remember the Russo Japanese hatred, but also not interested. The relations between the two countries is not good, people don't have the authority of "diplomatic relations not to complain, on the contrary, the two go too near, people in anti wonder.
