Medvedev finished it: The Japanese prime minister must do harakiri

Attack on Fumio Kishida launched on Saturday the former president of Russia, Dmitry Medvedevurging the Japanese prime minister to “do harakiri”.

Medvedev’s firing came after the Kishida-Biden meeting, after which the two leaders issued a joint statement saying: “We categorically state that any use of a nuclear weapon by Russia in Ukraine would be an act of hostility against humanity and unjustified in every sense.”

Speaking at a press conference in Washington on Saturday, a day after a summit with US President Joe Biden on Friday, Fumio Kishida made no mention of Medvedev’s comment.

At the same time yesterday, the Japanese Prime Minister stressed that the G7 summit to be held in Hiroshima in May should show a strong will to support the international order and the rule of law after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Medvedev said the nuclear statement showed “paranoia” against Russia and that it “betrays the memory of hundreds of thousands of Japanese burned by the nuclear attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki” – a reference to the atomic bombs dropped by the US on Japan to force it to surrender at the end of World War II. Instead of demanding that the US repent for this, Kishida showed that he is “just a servant of the Americans”.

The vice chairman of Russia’s Security Council and a staunch ally of President Vladimir Putin stressed that such a shame could only be washed away by seppuku – harakiri – of the Japanese prime minister at a Japanese cabinet meeting after Kishida’s return.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Medvedev has repeatedly warned that Western involvement in the war could lead to nuclear war. But while Putin says the risk of a nuclear war is growing, the Russian president insists Moscow has not gone “crazy” and sees its own nuclear arsenal as a purely defensive deterrent.
