A full-scale war provoked by Russia was inevitable due to the maniacal desire of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin . However, not only Ukraine could become a victim of the Russian Federation, because the Kremlin was seriously preparing for a military conflict with Japan.

A letter dated March 17, written by a person cooperating with the FSB, addressed to the Russian human rights activist and journalist Volodymyr Osechkin, was in the possession of the American publication Newsweek .

An FSB agent under the pseudonym “Wind of Change” wrote: “Confidence that the countries (Russia and Japan – UNIAN) will enter the stage of acute confrontation and even war was high. Why was Ukraine chosen for the war in the end – the scenario has not changed much …”.

The newspaper writes that propagandists should have come into play before the conflict with Japan began. Their role was to inflame the hatred of the Russians against the Japanese, creating the image of the latter as “Nazis” and “fascists”. This tactic was eventually used against the Ukrainians.

Russia even began to prepare society for war with Japan. In August 2021, the FSB declassified information that during World War II, Japanese special services were supposed to torture citizens of the USSR. At first, this news was hardly noticeable in the information space, but in a matter of days, propaganda began to disperse this topic. In autumn, they forgot about the Japanese.

Moscow suddenly changed its mind to go to war with Japan and stopped at Ukraine. The reasons for the change in positions are unknown.

“Wind of Change” named the exact positions of Russian helicopters that were waiting for a signal to attack Japan. According to him, “war was inevitable for Russia due to the maniacal desire for war on the part of the leadership.”

  1. russia have had their arse kicked by the 22nd ranked country in the global fire power index. I can imagine the destruction had the mafia state tried their genocide on a country ranked no5 in the world. They wouldn’t be fighting a country using soviet made junk, but a modern army, navy and airforce.

  2. This should open some eyes in Tokyo. The Japanese haven’t been all too helpful with aid to Ukraine, even though they too have issues with mafia land, concerning the Kuril Islands. Maybe this bit of news will be a wake-up call that they too have a vested interest to see a defeated mafia land and increase military and humanitarian aid drastically.

  3. If Putin had started a fight with Japan, his sorry logistics would have seen him defeated inside 6 months, and the Pacific fleet nonexistent. This is not 1945. Plus, the US had defense obligations to Japan, and that would have brought the US into the fight.

    Putin would like to repay Japan for Tsushima, but that will never happen.
