Russia Conducts Missile Test Off Japan-claimed Islands

It is clear that Russia is the newest regional problem for Japan. Not only have their ties been strained since 2022, tension intensified as Russia conducted a missile test off the group of islands claimed by Japan, according to a news report by Kyodo News. Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Etorofu Island (referred by the Russians as Iturup) which drew backlash from the Japanese.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News. Some parts in boldface…

Russia’s Pacific Fleet said Thursday it has conducted a missile test off a group of Russian-held, Japanese-claimed islands amid an intensifying row over the disputed territory following President Vladimir Putin’s first-ever visit there last week.

While it was unclear exactly when the test was carried out, the announcement comes after the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Japanese Ambassador to Russia Akira Muto over Japan’s protest against Putin’s trip to the area.

Putin visited Etorofu Island, the largest of the four islands collectively called the Northern Territories by Japan and the Southern Kurils by Russia, on Aug. 13.

The naval fleet said a unit equipped with the Bastion surface-to-ship missile system conducted the test. The system is deployed to Etorofu.

The guided missile cruiser Varyag, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, also took part in the missile test along with the Omsk nuclear-powered submarine, the fleet said.

The test simulated an attack on enemy vessels and succeeded in hitting all the intended targets at a range of at least 300 kilometers, according to the fleet.

“We cannot tolerate moves (by Russia) to strengthen military power on the four northern islands because they go against our country’s stance (on the territories),” Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told reporters Thursday during his visit to Oman.

A senior ministry official revealed Friday that Japan had lodged a protest with Russia shortly after Moscow notified Tokyo that it would conduct the missile exercise during the week beginning last Sunday.

Japan says the islands, which also include Kunashiri, Shikotan and the Habomai islet group, were illegally seized by the Soviet Union soon after Japan’s surrender in World War II on Aug. 15, 1945. Russia claims the action was legitimate, saying the islands became part of its territory as a result of the war.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think Russia’s military activity in the Pacific is the first sign of more disturbances that will affect Japan and possibly the rest of Asia? Do you anticipate China or North Korea will get involved in the Russia-Japan conflict at sea? Do you think the tension with Russia will negatively impact the economy of Japan?

A teary eye is as good as a cry

What’s the last movie that made you cry?

They say boys don’t cry. Right?

Wrong!

I’m not a little boy any more; I’m rarely overly emotional, and I may not bawl my eyes out, but some movies do indeed make them go all watery. I don’t exactly remember when it started. If my memory still serves me, it could have been when I watched the 1997 film Life Is Beautiful, with Italian actor Roberto Benigni, who co-wrote the script, directed and played the leading role.

That is still my all-time favourite film. It won the Academy Award for Best Film, while Benigni won for Best Actor. The film is set during World War II and has a connection to a book – I Was a Boy Who Survived Auschwitz, a memoir by Rubino Romeo, an Italian Holocaust survivor.

The most recent film that has moistened my eyes is The Book Thief, released in 2013. It’s really unfortunate that I only discovered this film a few weeks ago in my Disney+ streaming feed, but I’m so glad I did. I had heard about it when it was released all those years ago, but it didn’t really catch my interest at the time.

Coincidentally, The Book Thief is also set during World War II and has a book connection, too. The film is based on the international bestselling 2005 novel of the same title by Markus Zusak.

The film is about Liesel Meminger, a young girl who is brought to a foster home in 1939 Nazi Germany by her mother after her father was arrested on suspicion of being a Communist. Liesel, the titular book thief, steals her first book from the gravedigger during her brother’s burial when she is on her way into foster care.

She develops a close relationship with Hans Hubermann her foster father who helps her to learn how to read and write. Through the film Liesel steals other books, once from a public Nazi book-burning ceremony, and later from Mayor’s wife whom she befriends.

Duing the film Liesel also makes friends with Rudy Steiner a neighbour who can run very fast and Max Vandenburg who is given refuge from the Nazis in the basement of her foster parents home, an act of immense risk to own safety.

The film is a poignant story of love and loss during the war and the theme of human mortality is often raised by the narrator which is Death himself.

There were several moments in the film which almost brought me to full-on tears; I can’t lie. If you haven’t watched this film yet, I can highly recommend that you do so as soon as possible.

I would erase World War II from history. Millions of lives were lost, families were torn apart, and generations carried the pain long after the war ended. This is why my answer is peace over war, always. 🕊️ #WorldWarII #History #Peace #Humanity
