Kishida tells Zelenskyy Japan will keep supporting Ukraine in war with Russia

That's great and all but the needs are military. Maybe money can be transferred to buying shells from SK.

one question-why Japan must act in name of US interests even in UA?

Because Japan is de facto a state of U.S. That was the arrangement at the end of WW2. U.S. was to control Japan through the puppet government. Which has been good for Japan for the last century, but is this going to be good for Japan going forward?

As for supporting Ukraine with our tax money. This war is going on for years. If they use our money, it should be used to STOP the war. With all the support from the west, is it such an impossible task to beat Putin?

When NATO isn't allowed to reduce Putin's trenches to ashes, yeah, it is a pretty tough task for Ukraine.

Isn't allowed by whom?

Ukraine is getting fantastic support from the G7 countries, all graveyards and hospitals in Ukraine are full now, the economy and infrastructure is destroyed, millions fled the country and Ukraine is much smaller now. Is the strategy working?

Ukraine is getting fantastic support from the G7 countries, all graveyards and hospitals in Ukraine are full now,

As they are also in Russia.

the economy and infrastructure is destroyed,

Economy is forecast by the IMF to increase between 1%-3%, While Russia's is expected to grow by up to 1.5%

millions fled the country and Ukraine is much smaller now. Is the strategy working?

Considering Ukraine was invaded and expected to be absorbed by Russia, but they are still fighting and are on the offensive pushing Russian forces back, and hitting military targets inside Russia more often after 18 months of war, I am sure the Ukrainians consider their freedom is a victory. Every day they remain free and sovereign is a victory over Russian intentions.

This has a long way to go yet, but if Ukraine forces get through the three layers of Russian defenses there will be no stopping them mopping up Russian units as they run for Russian territory. They are through the first and toughest layer of defenses in the south.

one question-why Japan must act in name of US interests even in UA?

It isn't. It is in Ukraine interests, and they do it because it is the right thing to do to stand up to invaders who happen to be Russian.

A Russia that wont sign a peace treaty with Japan, wont return captured territory that is Japanese. Perhaps Japan can see its own reflection in Ukraine and its treatment at the hands of Russian invaders.

You forget that Russia is according to their Government not even at war yet. What we have seen so far is a small special military operation.

Just pray that there will be no war between Nato and Russia. The chance of survival of such a war would be zero in the Nato countries!

You forget that Russia is according to their Government not even at war yet.

According to them they haven't even invaded yet. Do you believe what the Russian government says?

What we have seen so far is a small special military operation.

Things losers say; 'I lost because I wasn't trying!'

The chance of survival of such a war would be zero in the Nato countries!

Russia can't even defeat Ukraine. Do you think they are going to be less incompetent againsy NATO and kill everyone in 32 countries?

Do you want to dispute that Russia is able to do very serious damage with about 6000 nuclear warheads?

You've already backtracked from 'The chance of survival of such a war would be zero', to 'serious damage'.

You're gonna freak out when you find out that NATO countries have big bombs that can cause 'serious damage' too.

Putin isn't as thick as you to sacrifice his entire country for a slice of Ukraine.

Just pray that there will be no war between Nato and Russia. The chance of survival of such a war would be zero in the Nato countries!

And even less chance of survival in Russia. Conventionally, NATO would quickly defeat Russia. No doubt what so ever.
