【Analysis】 EU,U.S and Russia have a tag-of-war for Ukraine

There are many articles about Ukraine crisis on newspapers and blogs and so on. What do you think Ukraine crisis?

I have three problem (crisis) on Ukraine at least.

Firstly, Ukraine and Crimea have conflict or internal war more and more.Crimea’s history, nations and religion is very complexity. now it is very dangerous conditions.  This area was buffer zone the West and Russia  on historically.

All through the ages, any country is very hard to control this area.

Secondly, on geopolitical, this area is very important for Russia and The West.

(reference: wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ukraine  )

Because There are mile stones of Naval port.
So, Between The West and Russia have done the tug-of-war.

Finally, on this crisis, core point is Economic crisis and financial collapse of Ukraine.
EU ,U.S and Russia actually will not put the money to save Ukraine.

Which countries pressed against each other about  giving money are  being carried out.

At least above three problems have occurred now at the same time.

【Analysis】 Great powers politics in Mali?

Algeria hostage crisis expanded fears of escalation across region of  Mali. A security source said that Algerian troops had found the bodies of 25 hostages, raising the total number of hostages killed to 48 and the total number of deaths to at least 80. He said six militants were captured alive and troops were searching for others.
Japanese government source said the Algerian government had informed Tokyo that nine Japanese had been killed, by Islamist fighters.
The attack in Algeria for rescue is actually action by France. and France intervene in Mali that bad blood has been curdling since al-Qaeda-linked insurgents took over the northern half of the country nearly a year ago.

I have a views of three, historical, energy policy and military operation against insurgents or terrorists.

Firstly, Algeria and Mali ‘s history  have  remnants of imperialism.  In the past, it is a region of France had been colonized. and still French influence is greater. This is important problem for French and the West.  Imperialism age has finished really?

We have to learn and understand history of  North Africa.

Secondly, There are rich natural resources Algeria and Mali. U.K ,U.S.French and Japan aim to gain it. and that energy policy related.　In short, this hostages and  intervention is a struggle for resources and each country’s energy policy is clash.

We have to reconsider own country’s energy policy. 

Thirdly, French was quickly military intervention to Mali. Reason why is humanitarianism , self-dignity and fighting terrorism.
May be, On this case  French  military operations will success.  French sustain sphere of influence on this area.

But not finish.

We have to think more about this case, not surface  but underlying causes on  insurgents or terrorism.     

【Analysis】 Japan election 2012

Last Monday, general election took place on schedule in Japan. I voted. Regardless of the election have many important issue (deflation, employment, TPP, energy policy and dispute dominion…) it didn’t warm up.

Many people wonder which party should support the end. The DPJ was not able to enrich the lives of the people and response of 3.11 east japan earthquake was terrible.
But many people could not be expected to the old way of the LDP.

Once, Yukichi Fukuzawa who is very famous thinker said ” Political decisions is to choose the degree of poor”

The LDP won a crushing victory on this election. this reason why the DPJ and the other party was further bad.

So, many citizen don’t positive support the LDP.

Japan would continue to confusion for some time……

By the way, I wonder Japanese election campaign dose not discuss about agenda. Instead the candidate repeat to shout name of themselves.

Of course recent year, each party make up Manifest and has discussion of policy.

But many citizen do not understand Manifest or concrete policy. Clearly, It is not enough to discuss policy for citizen.

Firstly, we will change election campaign for reforming Japan.
