Has the second Ukraine emerged? Japan opened fire on the Russian border, Putin was furious, and the United States and Britain lost their voices? Netizen: The main reason is that the United States and the West do not allow the war to stop! The signs of the so-called "second Ukraine" can be seen in Japan's actions on the Russian border.
Speaking of the old scores between Russia and Japan, anyone has to scratch their heads on the four northern islands. These four small islands were taken over by the Soviet Union from Japan at the end of World War II. Now Russia is in charge of them. Japan calls them the Northern Territory and always wants to take them back. Even now, in the year of 2025, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has not stopped yet, and Japan has suddenly moved frequently, as if it has been trying to test the water for a long time. Especially in May, when the Japanese Coast Guard conducted a military exercise near Kungo Island, they directly fired 66 rounds of bullets without warning in advance and almost went off. There was an uproar in Russia immediately, and Putin personally asked about it. This matter became a lot of fuss and everyone was watching. Will this become the second place in Northeast Asia's version of Ukraine?
After the Second World War, the Soviet Red Army invaded the islands, Japan signed the San Francisco Agreement and let all of the islands out, but Japan later said that the four islands in the south side – Chernobyl, the country after, the Danish, the Danish – are not the islands, but have to come back. After the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia inherited the deal, but the core problem is the shell. In 2018, Putin also publicly said that the islands are Russian territory, the national flag will never fall. Negotiations for more than twenty years, Abe's era was once hot, Putin even went to chase the islands to inspect, say what to develop tourism, but the core issue is the shell. After Russia battled in 2022, Japan controlled Russia with the West, peace treaty negotiated directly
Moving to 2025, things will escalate. On May 25, the Japan Coast Guard was training troops in the waters east of Kungo Island. The muzzle of the ship turned and bullets were fired out. After monitoring it, the Russian side called it a provocation. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova retorted on the spot, saying that Japan was creating a tense atmosphere and that border security lines should not be touched casually. Putin was not idle and quickly expressed his position through the Kremlin, emphasizing that Russia's sovereignty over these islands was non-negotiable, and also ordered the strengthening of military deployment in the Far East. The Russian Navy directly banned foreign ships from entering disputed waters, doubling the patrol density of frigates, and Japanese fishing boats had to detour if they wanted to enter and fish. Putin's reaction is tough for anyone to look at. After all, Russia and Ukraine are in contact, and no more mistakes can go wrong in the Far East.
What about Japan? After the new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba came to power, his tone towards the northern territories has become much higher. In August he publicly stated that Japan was determined to recover the islands, including through military means. The Ministry of Defense followed suit, sending additional guards to Hokkaido and conducting live-fire exercises. Tanks and artillery were pulled to the side, making it clear that horses and horses were going to put pressure on them. Shigeru Ishih was originally a hawk in the Liberal Democratic Party. He had previously advocated strengthening armaments. Now, taking advantage of the limelight of Russia and Ukraine and the low domestic support rate, he uses territorial issues to polish his sense of existence. Japanese media also followed suit. NHK broadcasts news every day that Russian troops built a radar station on the island, saying that it was militarization and threatened Hokkaido's security. In fact, Russia has invested money on the island since 2016. In the 2025 budget, it allocated 70 billion rubles for the development of the Far East, building schools, hospitals, and pulling natural gas pipelines. Putin said this was for the sake of the residents, but Japan insisted that it was an expansion of the army.
After this incident became public, the reaction of the United States and Britain was the most thought-provoking. Normally, Japan is a staunch ally, and the United States is besieging Russia in the Asia-Pacific region, Japan and South Korea. If something happens to Japan, the United States has to take sides as soon as possible. But the State Department and the White House were like dumb that day, issuing only an innocuous trade statement. The website of the British Foreign Office didn't even mention it. The BBC reported it and only covered it in 200 words. Putin pointed at this point in a speech, saying that the West has double standards. It is clear that when the border of Ukraine is touched, it cries of violating sovereignty, and when it comes to the Far East, it will pretend to be deaf and dumb. Netizens exploded on Twitter and Weibo. A group of people said that it was mainly because the United States and the West did not allow the war to stop. They were eager to light more flames to distract Russia's energy. It's right to think about it. The United States is currently spending hundreds of billions on military aid to Ukraine. Japan's small move is just to help them share the pressure without having to send troops itself.
Why is the United Kingdom so quiet? say white, there are calculators on the geographical chessboard. The United States is deep in the Middle East and Ukraine two heads burned, the Asia Pacific re-fire, the supply chain is messy, Japan is an important node, can not easily blame Russia, but can not be publicly blamed, if it really fought, Okinawa base will be the target. Britain followed the United States, after Brexit the economy is broken, the military power is limited, the F-35 sold to Japan is still active, help with the emergency start something, but the truth came and shrunk. Russian leaked military documents in the head, also listed the strike list against Japan and South Korea, including nuclear power plants and ports, which makes Washington more quantitative. The result? US Defense Secretary Austin went to the
The netizen's sentence "The United States and the West don't let the war stop" sounded heart-piercing, but it hit the key. The Western media is hyping up the humanitarian crisis in Russia and Ukraine every day, and they shut up when they get here. Think of the Ukraine model: small frictions first, diplomatic pressure, then military aid escalates, and finally full-scale conflict. Japan's move was to seize the island on the surface, but actually surrendered its name to the United States in exchange for loosening the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea. Russia's Far East has oil and natural gas, Japan imports 70% of its energy, and the island's resources are valuable. But when it comes to a real fight, no one can win.
