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.

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.
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).

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).

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.
Finland's Prime Minister Marin is eager to join NATO Conclusion in a few weeks - Russia strengthens its armament in the Baltic Sea. Finland is eager to join NATO
Finland's Prime Minister Marin announced his willingness to join NATO on the 13th. He will reach a conclusion in a few weeks through Congress. He has remained neutral so as not to inspire Russia, but he also said that this Russian action changed his mind. In contrast, he is one of Russia's closest aides to President Vladimir Putin, and Dmitry Medvejev, vice-chairman of the Security Council, said on the 14th that Russia and Finland will join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on the 14th. Warned that it was necessary to increase defense capabilities in the region, and also suggested the deployment of nuclear weapons.
Russia strengthens its armament in the Baltic Sea
What is the Baltic Sea armament? Kaliningrad. Russia has an enlave in the area facing the Baltic Sea between Lithuania and Poland, the three Baltic states. It would be to deploy nuclear weapons here. Medvejev argues that Russia must strengthen its army, navy and air force in the Baltic Sea to restore military equilibrium. Finland borders Russia on a long border, and even Moscow is just over 1,000 km away. The location is just a stone's throw from St. Petersburg. However, Kaliningrad is an excursion, and Russia cannot access it without going through Lithuania at present. It can be said that the location is even more difficult than in Ukraine.
Russia is the Black Sea and NATO is the Baltic Sea
If Finland and Sweden join NATO, Russia is likely to be more hurt than Ukraine. Russia is currently capturing southern Ukraine with the aim of influencing the Black Sea, but with the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO, NATO will acquire the Baltic Sea. And Kaliningrad will be an outlying area completely isolated from Russia. Russia may be trying to defend itself by deploying nuclear weapons so that Kaliningrad cannot be taken.
The Japanese Embassy in Ukraine has been reduced and Japanese nationals have been advised to stop traveling.Russia besieges Kiev
After the U.S. and Britain decided to evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, Japan raised the level of risk information to the second highest level, urged all Japanese to evacuate the country, and reduced the function of the embassy.The U.S.-Russia foreign ministers' talks have virtually broken down, with Russian troops stationed near the Ukrainian border and in Belarus and Crimea, almost surrounding Kiev.
Ukraine's capital, Kiev, is 850 kilometers to Moscow, 150 kilometers to Belarus, and 350 kilometers to Russia.Ukraine is now far from Western Europe because it has only Ukrainian troops before joining NATO.Physically speaking, if Russian troops march, NATO will not be able to rescue them in time, and it will end in an instant.In chess, it's already clogged.On the other hand, if Ukraine joins NATO and NATO forces are stationed near the Russian border, NATO forces will be stationed close to Moscow, the capital.In other words, For Russia attack on Ukraine have to do before NATO membership.
Xi Jinping is the one who is interested in this situation.The United States has only proposed economic sanctions against Ukraine.In the event of an emergency in Taiwan, America's sincerity will be tested.Whether the U.S. will really send U.S. troops to war with nuclear-armed countries is .It is unclear whether the government will give up its territorial aggressionSince territorial expansion is a semi-permanent benefit, economic sanctions are short-term, and relations can be restored through various channels, will it be a deal?Russia was also subject to economic sanctions in the 2014 annexation of Crimea.
It is said that the attack on Ukraine is one of Putin's decisions.Ukraine is a region with great economic benefits for Russia, so there is widespread concern about advancing.
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.
