What a good puppy dog our Ishiba is!
dobre vam zajebava
copy paste talk.
if he have said nothing results is same.
but he have said something in line with US policies so he is a good boy.
my question is:
what Japan did for over 1000 deys of this conflict to STOP this killing?
peace effort initiative,peace talk proposals...anything?
as a peace loving country?
answer is Japan DID NOTHING.
except wasting of our taxes for Kiev junta/lost case from beginning and applied meaningless antirussian sanctions/hurting japanese economy and our pockets.
That all abt japanese "peace efforts".

Putin has yet to be brought to an honest negotiating table.

Well done, Japan. Please continue to help Ukraine for as long as it needs to remove the invading Russian hordes.
As a taxpayer here, I am more than happy for my taxes to be used for this.

Japan will ... do whatever the US orders it to do (as usual).

Phone call sounds like cope.
Tokyo needs to come to the realistic understanding that significant portions of that land will revert to being Russia (I.E. the lands originally founded by Russia, east of the Dnieper).
This includes a former Autonomous Republic - which never voted to leave originally.
Quicker that sinks in the better, then the former can get back to business and trade with the latter. Important to observe China has taken full and decent advantage of this access to resources in the meantime (which crashing economies like Germany have squandered: don't make the same cardinal error).
Did he pledge to end Russian gas from Sakhlin-2... nope.
Did he pledge sanctions on that project... nope again.
Did he pledge to end seafood imports from the Far East... nope yet again.
Did he pledge to refrain from consuming crab over the new years period... iie.

JJE you nailed it. We'll stand with Ukraine unless it means us giving up something - especially delicious Russian crab. Just bought a huge pack for New Year's.

Putin and JJE need to come to the realistic understanding that the Soviet Union no longer exists.

@isabelle
Think Putin, JJE, me and most of the other readers know this.
Perhaps you don't realize those lands were a part of Russia well before the Soviet Union was created? Furthermore they voted to leave Ukraine and join Russia. Not surprising since Ukrainian troops were shelling their own people in Donetsk for years.

It's embarrassing isn't it? To see if you are still semi-colonized is if your own country has US military bases and you must sing its tune of foreign policy.
An independent country is true freedom. You don't have to contribute money for war or pay any protection fees.

Perhaps some regions of russia deserve to have a vote held by outside powers to make sure they they want to be there.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Yeah you just have to pay for the corruption of the uniparty.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Hardly founded. More like ethnically cleansed and militarized.
We can always hold some votes in russia to make sure everyone belongs there.
Primusinter
No. You are mistaken. You can't hold any votes in Russia. You can only dream and rave.

Small correction :
Japan will stand BEHIND Ukraine…. Very very very far behind
isabelle
Perhaps you don't realize that that doesn't matter under international law? Ukraine has been a fully independent country since 1991.
If you want to go back to the 19th century you can, but you may find that countries like China and Finland will want Russia to return the lands it stole from them too. Does that sound fair?
Sorry, but sham "elections" by invading Russian forces with a gun to the electorate's head don't count.
Yes, seeing people parroting their favorite dictator's lines on the internet is rather embarrassing.
Just like Taiwan.
Fighto!
Good for Japan : on the side of freedom, rule of law, and sovereign, territorial rights. Japan also stands ready to help rebuild Ukraine after all the damage that fascist Russia has done.
If democracies like Japan stood by and allowed totalitarian, rogue states like fascist Russia walk all over any nations they like, make no mistake - free Taiwan would be next to come under threat.
There is always some positive news.

DA comment. There are 57 "puppies".
The international backing for Ukraine has been coordinated through various platforms, notably the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG), also known as the Ramstein group. As of December 2024, the UDCG comprises 57 countries, including all 32 NATO member states and 25 other nations, united in their commitment to Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion.
