Japan-Russia Relations: Toward a Peace Treaty and Beyond

[sicsheep]

It considers the Peri-Crimea situation. Japan's strategic relationship with Russia is deep and comprehensive.



Western media doesn't really publish news stories or policy changes that reflects the growing cooperation (maturation) between Japanese and Russian relations, geostrategic-wise. The United States understands that the alliance she has with Japan is firm as bedrock, and she knows how stabilization of Northeast Asia requires rapprochement between Russia and Japan, if this means greater security links, greater economic collaboration, then it will be respected. Afterall, geopoliitcs is not a static concept, but reflects the ever-changing , assymetry of international politics (if the growing Iranian-US cooperation vis-a-vis nuclear energy agreement -- serves as a visage). I also agree with you that growing relations between Tokyo and Moscow may be a conduit for eventual American re-engaging with Moscow towards a path of restitution in regards to Ukraine.

Anyways, an illustration of growing relations between Russia and Japan:

Japan, Russia to run naval rescue exercises as planned- Nikkei Asian Review

TASS: Russia - Russian-Japanese maritime rescue exercise begins in Russia's Far East

Japan to conduct maritime drills with Russian Navy | The Japan Times

actually this humanitarian drill is well known even in China, I think the media compared it to the Sino Russia drill which happened the same year,president and Navy chief from both countries attended the opening ceremony, PLAN have drill every year with USN, but you know the scale and objective is no where near US-Japan.

Cordiality and professionalism describes the maritime cooperation of Japan and Russia. I am so happy to see our growing ties.

It is, maybe you should stop intercepting Tu-95s that keep drawing boarders for Japan.

Russia has every right to deploy their strategic bombers on 'historical' routes. You know that Russia sends strategic bombers to the American West coast, right? They are interdicted by American warplanes , as per usual policy, and escorted out. This has been the norm since Soviet era, yet despite this, has there been a war or conflict between the Russians and the Americans? No.

The Russians sends strategic bombers into Swedish air space, into German, into French, British air space --- yet has there been a war? Has this led to reduction in relations ? Russia sends air units, which are , of course, countered.

The same applies for Japan in this context.

OH, haha, why so serious, I never said a war,

but it is hardly anything to do to a friendly nation, would you agree?

I just want you to know that nations don't operate through splitting lens (this is a psychological term, look it up) , rather, nations operate through a varied view and interest(s). Air Forces responding to each other in such a way is a sign of a mature air space mechanism.

Let me ask you this, when Swedish war planes enter Norwegian air space, you don't think that the Norwegian air force responds by sending its planes to interdict Swedish Gripens? Of course they do. It is standard operation procedure.

Irrespective of your opinion, relations between Japan and Russia is improving.

OK OK, I am just jealous why the most Tu-0-95 strategic patrols are launched at Japan, not China, India, not even US, or Europe (until very recently),

im just upset why Japan get special treatment! I understand Russian affection for Japan, and vice versa,

hence why JASDF never scramble F-15 to intercept USAF lol

that said, Im very optimistic for Russia -Japan ties!

 

[Pangu]

If Japan wish better relations with Russia, now is the right time, particularly with regards to the Ukraine/Russia boiling pot. Adopt a neutral stance removing sanctions against Russia, while providing aid to Ukraine, a fine balance can be achieved. However, bear in mind the facist elements in Ukraine... As for the disputed territories, sweep under ruck until wiser minds prevail, lol.
