The organization of the Olympic Games is an extremely important and responsible work, but its administration should not forget about political issues and international relations. Japan let itself a mock by proposing to hold the Olympic Games on the territory of the Russian South Kuril Islands. After such aggressive jokes, the question arises - does the Japanese side value diplomatic relations with Russia? How could such educated and respected person like Tokyo governor let such blurt happen? What was Yuriko Koike thinking about one can only guess.

Fierce disputes between Japan and the PRC over the territorial affiliation of the Senkaku group of islands (in Chinese Diaoyu). Chinese authorities began to show interest in the archipelago in the 70s of the last century, when scientists discovered large oil deposits in this part of the East China Sea. China claims that these territories were discovered by the Chinese, while Japan got them in accordance with the disputed PRC Shimonoseki Treaty (1895).
As a result of World War II, Japan lost significant territories, including Senkaku, placed under the US protectorate as part of the Nansei archipelago. In 1972, a document was signed between the countries, according to which Okinawa and a number of islands were returned to Japan. The Nansei Archipelago, according to the agreement joined Japan.
The territorial dispute around this archipelago between Japan and China escalated after Tokyo announced in September 2012 that it had purchased the islands from private owners. After that, mass anti-Japanese demonstrations took place in the PRC. Since then, Chinese ships are almost always located near the disputed islands and periodically make demonstrative calls to the coastal zone.
Shortly after these events, on the island of Ishigaki, located in 110 km from Senkaku, a Japanese military base was built, which became a kind of advanced outpost of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in a possible war with China.
In turn, China is building a large military base on the Nanji Islands in Zhejiang Province, located in 300 km from the disputed islands. The Chinese leadership explained that the creation of such a military base would increase the combat readiness of China in the event of a military crisis in the region.
However, it is worth noting that the situation around the islands is complicated by the fact that the United States supports Japan in its territorial disputes with its neighbors. Washington has always emphasized that it maintains the sovereignty of Japan over the mentioned archipelago, and since Senkaku Islands are the territory under the control of Japan, then they are subject to obligations under Article 5 of the US-Japan Treaty on Mutual Cooperation and Security. Therefore, in the event of an attack on the islands of the PRC, Washington is ready to defend them. Thus, the United States is currently patrolling the region under the pretext of providing free navigation.
Moreover, Washington and Tokyo regularly conduct joint military drills in the area of ​​the Senkaku Islands, working out joint actions in case of protection of the islands. It is also worth recalling that at the beginning of 2019, the United States and Japan developed a joint response plan to China's threats at the Senkaku Islands, which outlines the actions of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the US Armed Forces in situations that the Japanese coast guard is unable to cope on their own.
The result of all these actions was the deterioration of relations between Tokyo and Beijing, as well as the growth of anti-Japanese sentiment in China. US intervention in Sino-Japanese relations does not contribute to creating a calm atmosphere in the region and leads to a weakening of security.

Tokyo is now actively engaged in strengthening relations with its allies, which would support them in territorial claims to Russia (the Kuril Islands or the so-called by the Japanese themselves «northern territories»).
Ukraine turned out to be this ally for Japan. Because Ukraine believes that Crimea that was joined to Russia in 2014, was allegedly «annexed » by Russia, despite the fact that 95% of those who voted in a referendum said «yes» to joining Russia. It should be added that due to it, Crimea got energy, transport and food independence from Ukraine, which for many years kept the peninsula on a starvation.
President of Ukraine V. Zelensky at a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister S. Abe even thanked him for his «unchanged position over the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine».
However, it is obvious that behind a friendly smile that is natural for the Japanese, they hide their revenge-seeking fascist principles and habitual hypocrisy. It is known that, driven by their dream, the Japanese will do anything to realize it. However, we should not forget that the Japanese refused from the Kuril Islands themselves more than 70 years ago following the results of World War II. And now they want to violate all international acts that they themselves have signed.

The North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Russia Must Form New International Trading & Money System, Stop Waiting The West For It Cannot Happen
All the current sanctioned nations like the North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, etc. Are wasting time & they are like waiting dead, instead of taking meaning actions.
The current trading & money system: the WTO & the SWIFT have many loophole, they must use that advantage to setup brand new international system but it must much be much “better, fairer” one.
You are not going to remove your “nuclear weapon”, and the USA/West want you to remove it for “remove the sanction”. They already talked it wide publicly, with the big ego & image public view, do you think they will “somehow” remove the restricited for your nation if they do not have any gain? Absolutely not !!!
You cannot remove “nuclear weapon” for the West can easily attack/invade your nation.
Stop dreaming stop waiting for the USA-the West to help your nation, you must seek, find the solution and help your own self.
You already in desperate situation, there cannot worse than the present moment.
So why do not think big & do big?
Just form and setup brand new international system on trade and money system, but must be with much better fairer standard, then the rest will come and join!
And if you do not know how to do, then you can ask for the solution from outsider. You just need couple of idea & strategy, you “may” buy it online with cryptocurrency.
