Japan knows that Russian energy and industrial raw materials will give Japanese products a distinct advantage over their European rivals on the global market, South Korea will probably follow suit.

The Japanese economy depends on imported energy, and Russian energy supply security is crucial to the Japanese. Knowing the Japanese mindset, Country first regardless. Japanese Nationalism above Global Internationalism. 🤔🤔🤔

Instead realising the consequences which never worked against Russia western countries compelled Putin to look after asian countries where he never Miss to build warm relationships

in a nutshell, unity doesn't last long from domestic level to international

Smart leaders who know how to put the interests of their own country and people first. No one should make decisions for you about your country. Cooperation more beneficial than hostility.

Thanks HT.
Why is Japan an ally to the country that nuked it?
Wouldn't it make more sense to be an ally to the country that supplies it with fuel, and BTW, never nuked it?

[ZackSparrow]

In the past India was told by the West to increase the business with China to improve the relationship. Now Japan is following the advice that was given to India by them and increasing business with Russia

[raffiartinian]

Japanese or any other country leaders, should look after their own citizens no matter what the West tell them what to do . Wise decision .

[rajeevkumar]

Japan, the third biggest economy invariably acts using wisdom rather than taking vital decisions based on emotions. Trading with Russia is another example of its farsight.

[firstnamerequiredlastnameo]

Japan does not want karen US telling it what to do.

[milinshandilya]

Japan or any country should what interest best for their countrymen and not bother about other nations who wanted to curve out their purpose
