It is a country that joined NATO from the former East Jinning after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.Many European countries are now members of the TATO.NATO member states are bordered by Russia, Norway, Estonia, and Latvia, but none of the borders are long.
The border between Ukraine and Russia is 1,576km
Belarus is a dictatorship, so let it go. Ukraine and Georgia are applying for NATO membership here, both of which border Russia.Ukraine's border with Russia is too long to reach 1,576 kilometers.It will be about #ylow#750km from Kharkov, Ukraine, to Moscow, and 870km from Kiev, Ukraine.
Even if we meet for the purpose of relieving tension
Russia is sending troops to 100,000 people near the Ukrainian border over Ukraine's application for NATO membership.On January 21st, Secretary of State Brinken and Foreign Minister Lavrov met in Switzerland, but ended in a parallel line and Russia expressed clear opposition to NATO's expansion to the east.In response, the U.S. avoided saying wisely and said it would answer next week.And on the 26th, Biden mentions economic sanctions against Putin individually.
When Ukraine joins, the domino style
If Russia gives up Ukraine under NATO pressure this time, non-NATO member countries Finland and Sweden will be able to join.FINANCIAL TIMES reported that discussions on the application for NATO membership in Finland and Sweden are rekindling.The issue could develop into a trend that includes not only Ukraine but also NATO, Russia and non-NATO members in Europe.If Russia abandons Ukraine, Russia will be completely isolated from European countries.

2,000 U.S. troops sent to Eastern Europe and 1,000 European troops moved to Romania and Ukraine was isolated.
President Biden announced on February 3 that he would send 2,000 U.S. troops to Eastern Europe and 1,000 U.S. troops stationed in Germany and other countries to Romania.At the same time, government officials announced that they would not participate in the Ukrainian battle.Europe has already announced that it will not send troops to Ukraine, and the U.S. has not offered any other card than economic sanctions, but this announcement shows that it will not send troops to Ukraine.
In other words, this is a matter between Russia and Ukraine , which is separated from each other.Ukraine's President Zelensky has not done anything about the crisis before joining NATO, resulting in the acceleration of Ukraine's crisis.
Ukraine will be excluded from the substantial preparation for membership (MAP) at the Bucharest Summit in April 2008, but it will be considered a future member.
Consolidated Crimea in March 2014.
In February 2019, President Zelenski revised the Constitution and clearly stated his policy toward future membership in the EU and NATO membership in NATO.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a press conference after the extraordinary meeting of the North Atlantic Council (NAC) in April 2021, Ukraine had the right to apply for membership.
In December 2021, Russia dispatched 100,000 troops near the Ukrainian border.
Countries imposed economic sanctions on Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014.As a result, Russia's economy was hit hard, but Ukraine's economy, which relies on Russia's economy, suffered a lot of damage.Ukraine's GDP dropped 7% in 2014, and Ukraine's currency, Fryvna, fell to 34.2 Fryvna against the dollar in February 2015.As a result, the Ukrainian government has adopted a surprising policy of raising interest rates by 30 percent.On 11 March 2015, the IMF agreed to provide the Ukrainian government with $17.5 billion in financial aid over a four-year period.
In other words, if NATO does not send troops to Ukraine, Ukraine will not be able to confront Russia, and if NATO does not withdraw its intention to join, Russia will attack and impose economic sanctions on Russia.So Ukraine will be the one who will fall into an economic crisis.Is there a secret plan for President Zelensky?I don't think there is.
It can be said that President Zelensky's reading of this incident was very lenient.If Ukraine attacks, it will be Ukraine that will fall into an economic crisis.
From Ukraine problem's point of view, Taiwan's problem.look at the historical relationship between Ukraine and Russia.
Russia will not give up Ukraine in a historical sense because it originated from Kiev.Kiev has long been the capital of Russia.In the first half of the 13th century, the Grand Duchy of Kiev was overthrown by the Mongol Empire, effectively controlling Russia's major cities for 200 years.
After the Grand Duchy of Moscow recaptured the area, the capital became Moscow, and in 1713, Peter moved the capital to St. Petersburg to escape from the Chinese economic and cultural circles, and Russia's Europeanization policy took place.Peter is the name of the apostle who served Jesus, the etymology of Peter.Peter in English, Peter in Slavic, Peter in German and Pierre in French.You must have heard all the names somewhere.Lenin revolutionized in 1917, and the capital became what it is now Moscow.
When I learned world history, it was like this, but the Russian Empire covered the eastern half of Ukraine and the Soviet Union covered Ukraine.Even after Ukraine's independence, Russia's origin is mainly Kiev.Ukraine is now independent, and many say Russia originated in the Grand Duchy of Moscow and Ukraine originated in the Grand Duchy of Kiev.Either way, it happened in the same area, so there won't be much difference.
This problem has a lot in common with Taiwan.At least Xi Jinping argues that Taiwan has historically been China and that it is of the same ethnic group.The only difference is that China has called Taiwan "outside of the chinese cultual world" and has not exchanged.When 57 Japanese fishermen were killed in the 1871 Miyakojima disaster, they said they were not responsible for what the people outside of the chinese cultual world did.Considering the same structure as Ukraine, it would be equivalent if the cultural sphere centered on Xi'an entered NATO.In any case, the move will serve as a precedent to justify China's claim internationally.
Ukraine and Taiwan issues have many problems in common, including long history, folklore, territorial, and security.
The rise of the Nazis and the slaughter of Jews.What does it have to do with the annexation of Japan and South Korea?They scream that it's the same in Korea.
The birth of Jesus Christ.It was the Pharisees (Jews) who persecuted Christianity.
Jews assimilate and live in the Christian culture.
Germany lost World War I in 1918.A huge amount of compensation will be imposed.
With the Great Depression of 1920 and social unrest in the background, the National Socialist German Workers' Party led by Adolf Hitler entered.
Hitler started inciting the people by shouting that Jews are our enemies and the cause of misfortune.
When capitalism was uncivilized, Jews ran "money lending" businesses that were despised at that time.
In 1932, the Nazi Party made a breakthrough into the leading party.
In 1933, Hitler became prime minister.
In the same year, the Plenipotentiary Delegation Act was passed.Hitler became president.
In 1935, a law prohibiting Jews from marrying non-Jews was passed (Nuremberg Race Act).
Germany annexed Austria in 1938.
In 1938, the Nazi Raiders attacked the Imperial Pogrom Night.About 30,000 Jewish victims will be sent to concentration camps.
The German invasion of Poland in 1939.During the Nazi occupation, laws were enacted to discriminate against Jews."Ghettoes" were created in various places to isolate Jews, and Warsaw was packed with about 450,000 people (30% of the city's population) in just 2.4% of the city's area.
In 1941, Ainzaz Gruppen attacked a Jewish village in Soviet territory, hunting and killing all adults and children.
How Nazi officials gathered in Vanzey, a suburb of Berlin, in 1942 to effectively kill Jews all over Europe.Created "Final Resolution of the Jewish Problem" (Vansay Conference).
Auschwitz camp was built in Poland.The first poison gas killing in four months of the Vansay Conference.1.1 million people are said to have been killed in Auschwitz.
Korea is said to have suffered the same damage as the Nazis from Japan.It is said that the Nazis killed about six million Jews.Let's find out what we have in common with the annexation of Japan and South Korea.
Taiwan is a keystone of the world economy. Asia - Europe liberal economic bloc to contain China.
The upcoming elections that will attract attention are the South Korean presidential election in 2022, the Philippine presidential election in 2022, the US presidential election in 2024, and the Taiwanese presidential election in 2024. Regarding the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea issues, the balance will change depending on who is the leader of the Philippines, the United States, and Taiwan.
Xi Jinping is expected to be re-elected in 2023. It will be interesting to see when Japan's constitutional revision will be proposed.
If you look at the world map, Taiwan is floating on both the Japanese side and the South China Sea.
If we misjudge these points in the Korean presidential election, the next five years may be even more difficult. If the United States were to become a Republican Party, the Philippines would secede from its China policy, and Taiwan would become a Democratic Progressive Party, capital would flee from pro-China South Korea and investment in Taiwan and other Southeast Asian countries would accelerate.
Once the Taiwan and South China Sea issues are resolved, the economic hot zone will move south. This area extends from Southeast Asia to Europe.
The reason why the UK is so proactive about these issues is because it wants to strengthen the unity of the Commonwealth of Nations and rebuild its economic foundations by leaving the EU. It is proposing an economic zone concept in which liberal countries would invest in the same area as One Belt, One Road.
There are Commonwealth countries along the way to the Pacific, the Quad and Europe. The British Commonwealth is made up of 54 countries. It is a huge federation that has been linked to former colonial powers, and has a population of 2.2 billion, which far exceeds that of China.
Africa used to be divided between Britain and France, but it has now been taken over by China. It is in Britain's interest to contain China to mainland China.
If that happens, the EU will also join. This is not to say that any country likes or supports China; the issue is the economy and money.
The Hong Kong issue was symbolic, but Britain's interests in various countries have been usurped by China.
Official duties 2 days before Queen Elizabeth's death. [Contents]
Official duties performed up to two days before the last
Reign as Head of Commonwealth Kingdom
British people expressing their condolences
National historical and cultural symbol
Queen Elizabeth's last public appearance will be two days before her death. Is it a coincidence that the appointment of the new Prime Minister Truss and the demise of the head of state intersected? Aside from that, it's the expression of the Queen. She had the impression that she was showing her emotions, but it turns out that she is very friendly to the new Prime Minister Truss.
Queen Elizabeth is the head of the Commonwealth of Nations, and the countries where Queen Elizabeth (currently Charles III) is king are currently Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Saint Christopher. - 15 countries: Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The British people enjoyed gossip about the British royal family and thought it was vulgar from my Japanese point of view, but now that the Queen is dead, it seems that's not the case. It seems that many British people have gathered at Balmoral Castle in Scotland to pay their respects. In the first place, Japan and the UK have historically been related, and they have something in common as island nations. The King of England and the Emperor of Japan have had long exchanges. If so, it seems that there is a common point among the people.
Respect for a symbolic entity is not logical. There is no rational explanation for it, like respect for the national flag. It seems to me that there is a common national sentiment with countries that share a common view of the loss or defacement of national symbols. It will be a feeling that will never be understood to that country that insults the Emperor of Japan and burns the national flag.
