Russia warns Japan of 'serious consequences' if Patriot missiles made there end up in Ukraine

"Tough talk" from the anti-democracy fascists - just like their little buddy, lil' Rocket Man.

What are they gonna do? The free, democratic world has Japan's back.

Bully boy only good at threatening. Easy enough to ignore.

Japan, stop doing stupid things just to please pathetic geopolitical whims of good old US..

Now that is a “Threat”. Toughen up Japan.

Japan shaking again can’t handle it themselves with their SDF security guards

JSDF can never go front line against any country

Russia threatening someone again? What are the odds?

@Tokyo Living? : Japan, stop doing stupid things

Mighty rich from those that support Russia's invasion, butchering civilians and war Why not 'Russia stop doing stupid things, especially stupid things like murdering children and putting the world at risk of global warfare. Maybe 'Moscow Living' would be better for some? Japan is and has been a peaceful nation for a long time, people actually living here should appreciate of what we have.

was this a warning? or ugliness? who can tell?, well, quickly figure out what it is.

...including our retaliatory steps...

Like what? Care to elaborate Ambassador Nozdrev? If you can?

Yeah, serious consequences for Russian aircraft.

Which is great. Send them as many as we can I say.

What are they gonna do, stop selling Japan turnips and gypsum?

. . . think of helping Ukraine in other, non-military ways . . . .

Multiple Ukraine Patriot batteries have been destroyed this month already and world's very low on inventory of both systems and missiles. Fully operational and armed Patriot battery approx. $3B in cost. Missiles $expensive.

Ukraine's air defense capabilities rapidly diminishing, along with UA's failed troop training and mobilization.

Would be stupid of Japan to do anything like this. Really stupid.

Japan is a political dwarf so it won’t really matter in the grand scale.

Shows everyone what a paper tiger the US and NATO are with their weapons stocks, air defense and artillery especially. Any surprise Ukraine's getting routed and more and more turning to attacks upon civilians?

What are thy going to do? Stop exporting salmon?

Problem for Ukraine, Patriot systems need to be too close to frontlines to counter Russia Air superiority. Russian glide bombs with no signature are undetectable.

Likely Ukraine lost 4 out of its 8 Patriot Batteries in last month alone, hence desperation to scrounge in Japan.

Deport him !

Let Putin know.....any funny business, and the Sakhalins are fair game.

Aren’t Patriot missiles for defensive purposes?

Pootie's threats are just making other states enlarge and improve their military capabilities.

Just keep digging, Vladimir.

If we turn to appeasement or appear weak we will get to a point, where the dictator will want more, and push for more, and history has always shown that appeasement will lead to something much worse. Do we decide to help those who need help, or do we turn our back on them and hope, that one day, we won't need anyone else's help if we are placed in the same situation? The Cold War dividend is over! It is time we invested in defence. Build our alliances, and train. Just as we did against the Warsaw Pact. But I do think Ukraine will eventually be thrown under the bus, as the US, EU, et al as they get tired of spending money. But I think helping Ukraine for however long it takes, could be the best investment Europe and maybe the world will ever make. China, Iran, North Korea are all watching us. If the Afghans, can beat Russia and the US, so can Ukraine. They just need enough body bags. ( atleast until Putin is out) Lets double down on the arms to Ukraine.

 Any surprise Ukraine's getting routed and more and more turning to attacks upon civilians?

What are you talking about?! It is Russia that is attacking civilians in Ukraine every day for the last TWO years!!!

Russia afraid of something?

Russia is no friend of Japan and Japan owes it nothing. Japan is free to do as it pleases.

What will you do, Russia? Send a rusty warship from Vladivostok to sail near Hokkaido and the Northern Territories?

What are thy going to do? Stop exporting salmon?

Not getting confused with Norway or Chile by any chance?

which is quite different from Japan intentionally inciting Russia for no reason.

Lol no. Not supplying patriot missiles to Ukraine because of Russia's threats is the very definition of appeasement.

to prevent further disagreement or fighting by letting the opposing side have something that they want

Reagan would be appalled by how cowardly the right has become.

Putin's aim is to conquer the entire globe.......and probably the moon and Mars too. But then, he will have to beat up Little Kimmie, and Xi because that is their plan too.

Making threats like this is one of the reasons Russia is the target of terrorists. People don't like bullies. Now Russian citizens are dying in Moscow because of Moscow's aggression.

Not supplying patriot missiles to Ukraine because of Russia's threats is the very definition of appeasement.

no one is expecting or asking Japan to do anything like that. So why would Japan even get involved and risk any incitement?

does it benefit Japan to have a confrontational relationship with Russia just to virtue signal?

You don't know what Ukraine is or isn't asking of Japan. They've already supplied Ukraine with supplies and funding before.

The better question is why shouldn't Japan do what it wants? Pathetic.

> does it benefit Japan to have a confrontational relationship with Russia just to virtue signal?

Does it benefit Japan to be a servile coward? Why does Russia get to dictate what other countries do?

Does it benefit Japan to be a servile coward? Why does Russia get to dictate what other countries do?

yes it benefits Japan to not become unnecessarily involved in this.

why? Cause Russia is a nuclear superpower and Japan has no need to incite conflict with them. What would Japan gain from this?

Zelensky asks/demands/feels entitled to everything from everyone, we already know that. Doesn’t mean Japan has to give it unless they “want” to, and zero reason to want to.

yes it benefits Japan to not become unnecessarily involved in this.

Lol just weak and cowardly. Oh no, let's not so anything that might upset Russia. Russia on the other hand should be free to invade neighboring countries and threatening those that want to help.

Lol

Zelensky asks/demands/feels entitled to everything from everyone, we already know that.

It's really telling you have such a problem with Zelensky asking of demanding help from other countries and it should be ingored, but fascist Russia tells the world what to do and you think they should just oblige. Your ideas lead to even more aggression.

Doesn’t mean Japan has to give it unless they “want” to, and zero reason to want to.

Oh there are plenty of reasons to want to help. It's the morally correct thing to so. It creates jobs and money for Japan. You just want to kowtow to the bullies.

Japan helps Ukraine now, or fights Russia later.

Helping Ukraine is helping Japan.

yes it benefits Japan to not become unnecessarily involved in this.

Just let the Germans have Czechoslovakia, no need for other countries to become unnecessarily involved in that, it will never possibly affect them….

Russia warns Japan of 'serious consequences' if Patriot missiles made there end up in Ukraine

An empty threat from Russia, they cant do anything to Japan. Stop buying fish perhaps? Stop Japanese companies doing business in Russia, when they are desperate for international firms to remain in Russia supporting the illusion in Russia that they are not involved in a war and invasion?

Russia cant attack Japan. Doing so would drag in the US and possibly then NATO and US allies around the globe.

And Russia can hardly complain when it is using NK and Iranian arms in Ukraine, which in my view frees Ukraine to use all weapons it has in Russia, in reply. Allied nations supplying armaments must see the Russian use of foreign weapons inside Ukraine as the only reason they need to free Ukraine to reciprocate.

Japan should be free to sell munitions to Ukraine if it wants to purchase them with donated funds intended for arming Ukraine's military.

Yeah, we assumed the blitzing of our stealth bombers would render any sort of land based combat with the rag tag Russian army irrelevant. It still will, but we need to worry about hybrid warfare including invasions of non-aligned countries like Ukraine.

Here's a pro-tip, the West doesn't have 100 years of hostilities with Russia due to virtue signalling.

Can't really speak for Japan, but land is forever and the source of all resources. That is why the West has an interest in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy mistakenly assumed the MAGA party in the US wasn't composed entirely of cowards and traitors. It's an easy enough mistake to make.

What it shows is that neither the US nor NATO were preparing for conflict, as Russia obviously was. Shows Russia is the warmonger with so many reserves of ammunition it has built up for it current and future conflict. The problem for Russia is that Ukraine was not the pushover they expected. What was expected to last no more than a couple of weeks dragged out to years and has even forced Russia to look at other nations to supply the ammunition it needs to continue its invasion.

The nature of a years long high intensity conflict has shown the allies that more stocks are needed for their own reserves and to keep supplying Ukraine and its continuing sovereignty. A need to increase production has been identified by many with new construction and expanded productivity being realized around the world. All thanks to Russian hostility.

Japan has taken notice and is acting in its own best interests. Russian thoughts are irrelevant, as are its threats.
