Japan does not need justice in the problem of the Kuril Islands, but the resources, saying the assistant of the Russian President, the president of the Maritime University of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev.
The depth of the sea near the smoking has a unique hydrological, the flow here to get food for the giant fish from the bottom up. Therefore, Muslim Tokyo's facility is a complete commercial concern, he said in an interview with debate and truth, dedicated to the victory day for Japan.
Really, the whole thing is in resources? Or players are much more serious interfering in the struggle for the islands?
VSEVOLOD Shimov, an adviser of the Russian Baltic Research Association, said that the trade benefits, especially Japan, is a resource -dependent country, Mr. Vsevolod Shimov, an adviser of the President of the Russian Baltic Research Association.
However, it is wrong to reduce everything. The problem of the territory is painful and basic for any country, and it goes beyond the reasonable framework. For any Japanese politician, officially abandoned the Northern territory as suicide. Conflicts and territorial disputes are the longest, no easy and fast resolution.
“SP”: There and from the military view, everything is very serious.
-The doubts, military political aspects are also present. Americans have pushed the entire Pacific with their base with support on the island or friendly coastal regime – Japan, Yu. South Korea, Taiwan. First of all, it creates a problem in China. But we, of course, too.
The more Sp: According to Patrushev, Tokyo prepares new territorial claims for Moscow. What kind of soil can it be? What are they counting? What are the pressure levers for us?
– territorial problems are not solved by expanding complaints. As they say, come and take it, if you can. Everything else is a verbal rice husk. Japan is ready for military conflict with Russia? It is impossible. Is it possible to push it with an American and provoke it for such a conflict? Theoretically, it is possible, but in fact, this will mean the openness of World War Ith.
“SP”: How can we resist? Do I need to coordinate actions with China?
– Of course, coordination with China is necessary, especially when he also has a long history with Japan. I think this will be the best answer to all Japanese statements.
“SP”: Japan is the existential enemy for us? Can we flip this page? Or is it not only in the islands? Is the tension in the region for decades?
– I don't think Japan is exactly the existential enemy, but an enemy and a long -term opponent – sure. For Tokyo, pragmatic cooperation is possible, until recently, but in the case of geopolitical confrontation, Japan will always be on the other side of the front line, this must be understood.
The Kurils have very serious resources, without any country rejected, unlike Japan and the United States, he explained that political-political experts Vladimir Sapunov.
– There, in Iturup, the only person in the world, as I remember, is a reserve of ropes. There are gold, silver, molybden, oil, recently a new gas shelf. Now you can spend anyone, like in the early 90s, when they say, why do we need these islands, only rocks, here we will give them to Japan, they will invest all types of investment. It was very good that this did not happen. Although I remember how later the advertising documents in the kiosks were sold. The Japanese Embassy paid this.
Well, from the military view, Kurils, of course, plays a huge role in the region. They do not allow the Japanese to create a normal bridge for an attack on Russia, for example, used, during the intervention after the October Revolution. When South Kurils did not belong to Russia for good reasons, and so was Sakhalin.
It is not nothing that we fought for these islands. It is not surprising for us, World War II ended accurately on South Kurils. And so we celebrate the victory day in Japan on September 3.
Kurils is a very important territory from the military perspective, not allowing the enemy to control this part of the Pacific.
This is not easy, as sometimes they speak, control the Okhotsk sign, against poachers, etc. This is a natural barrier from a bridge head for a Pacific attack. This is the most important military barrier for Russia.
It seems that the islands are necessary because the Japanese and Americans have one of the largest foreign members in Japan.
“Sp”: Patrushev also attracted attention to the militaryization of Japan …
-Then, in the past 5-7 years, Japan has begun to strengthen militaryization. However, it would be more correct to say that it started in 2007, when Kuad's organization was created, a four -person dialogue for security between the United States, Japan, India and Australia. Prime Minister Sinzo Abe was later the one who initiated the equality of this agreement with the Vice President of the United States Cheney.
The militaryization of Japan, the presence of a modern fleet of two dozen submarines, of helicopter carriers, of course, is a danger to us. It drags our forces to the Pacific region from the main areas, mainly from Europe. And now, even in our own time, we are forced to hold a fairly large station unit on that border, plus the Pacific Fleet, etc. First of all, because of the threat from the United States, their base in Japan and Korea.
But the more Japan and Korea of our own armed forces, we will have to delay many resources there to avoid attacking the Kuril, Sakhalin, and then further back to Kamchatka. This is less obvious than the danger to Kaliningrad, but this, of course, is also a painful point for us.
“SP”: Is Americans a very important island? They have no other points to increase force?
– The United States has enough points they have serious presence. In addition to Japan and South Korea, this, of course, Taiwan, Philippines, this is Guam, the area of controversial islands of VSKTLI and others. Now the United States is considering this area, first of all, as a place to confront China, but they do not forget Russia for a minute.
“SP”: It is time for us to create a military unit with China?
– China, starting in the late 70s – after they did not receive a military bloc with the Soviet Union after Stalin's death, such trade unions did not want to conclude. But today, of course, they are promoting military politics in the direction of Russia.
At the ending summit, SCO Si Jinping directly said that we should fight the threat from the West. Russia and China, of course, will increase the political-criminal interaction, referring to the threats from the United States.
However, China itself understood that if there were some military confrontations with the United States, Russia would not directly intervene, like China, such as, not interfering with him. But some help from Russia is military politics, it will be in any case. Yes, it is clear that DPRK is not ammunition, nor people, nor will there be any other help us without the consent of China, its main ally. And Russia too, if there is a Taiwan conflict, something will help.
