Dear г-н Дмитрий Анатольевич Медведев
I think you probably want to destroy the friendship between the U.S. and Japan. To do this, you want to arouse hatred against the U.S. by talking about the "crime of dropping the atomic bombs". But it's difficult to appeal to the general feeling of the Japanese people.
The Japanese people are generally too tolerant and see the crimes of the U.S. as "crimes against humanity." As the Japanese say, 'Hate the sin, don't hate the human.'
I understand very well the complexity of your position, and I sympathize with you very much, but it's almost inconceivable that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida would sever relations with the U.S. military after committing seppuku for the crime of betraying our friendship with Russia.
The U.S. is brainwashing the Japanese people in general to draw Japan into its anti-Russian conspiracy with Europe. In essence, this is more than mere nationalism; it's a replay of the Cold War.
However, Japan is a third party and has no ambitions in world history except to assert its "territory" in the first place.
To put it bluntly, while feeling antipathy toward Western colonialism and wishing for world peace, Japan has long opposed discrimination against people of color because it could not stand to have its countries, including the isolated islands of the Far East, razed to the ground.
I have come up with a more rational strategy for you.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's approval rating is below dangerous levels, and the Japanese public is generally appalled by his incompetence. Therefore, if he can be removed, a significant number of Japanese might be persuaded to put a pro-Russian party in power.
I'm sorry, you may be misunderstanding the deep cultural context of "seppuku" more or less -- it means "the highest honor" for the loser, not killed by a supposedly weak enemy, just suicide. So the samurai is demonstrating his own strength and extreme brute courage--.
But if the old Kishida faction within the LDP can be removed -- of course he'll not voluntarily hand over the premiership to the opposition party like a symbolic seppuku -- then we will more fairly change the excessive subservience to the U.S. military hierarchy. And the friendship between us (Russia-Japan-U.S.) could be transformed into a "new tripartite partnership".
It's also true that excessive following of the U.S. is detrimental to the Japanese nation in terms of extraterritorial trials, suppression of Okinawan public opinion, etc., so that we ordinary Japanese lose the goal I share with the great nation of you. At least if the next prime minister is a centrist, I don't think that person will follow a course that will make pro-Russian relations so much worse.
This is because Japan's constitution enshrines "pacifism" and denies the right to go to war with other countries.
Sincerely yours,
Yusuke Suzuki
