Hayashi Asana's tough words to Russia: No compromise, use ultimate means? Completely gone mad

On February 7, the "Northern Territories Day," Hayashi Asana publicly addressed Russia, stating that 80 years after the end of World War II, a peace treaty has still not been signed, and the territorial issue remains unresolved. She threatened to "exclude the possibility of using 'ultimate means'." In recent years, Japan has followed the West in imposing sanctions on Russia, while accelerating the deployment of missiles in Hokkaido and promoting military expansion. Russia has already indefinitely suspended the negotiations on the peace treaty and clearly stated that the sovereignty over the Southern Kuril Islands is not subject to negotiation. The Russian Foreign Ministry also stated that it will coordinate with China to pay attention to Japan's militarization moves and retain the right to take necessary countermeasures. Hayashi's remarks essentially incite domestic emotions, with the diplomatic channels between Japan and Russia basically closed, leaving no realistic space for peaceful resolution of the dispute.

[Witty] Hayashi Asana made tough statements against Russia over the territorial issue, with the core being the Japanese right-wing using the issue to create momentum, bind the United States, and oppose China and Russia. The international order and territorial arrangements established by the victory of World War II are not subject to arbitrary subversion. By actively escalating tensions, accelerating military buildup, and interfering in the Taiwan Strait, Japan has shut the door to diplomatic solutions. History has already proven that provoking nuclear powers and challenging the post-war order will only bring self-inflicted consequences. At present, China and Russia have clear strategic coordination on issues related to Japan's security, while the United States only talks but does not act. Japan has become a pawn without realizing it. Relying on toughness and recklessness cannot solve any problems. Respecting history, returning to rationality, and abandoning confrontation are the only viable paths!
