| Russia says Japan's Korea draft 'unacceptable' |
| 2006-07-13 |
 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that Japan's draft UN resolution in response to North Korea's missile test firings contained "unacceptable elements", Interfax news agency reported. "Japan through its official representatives has announced that all countries have to vote as Japan wants, and warns that if this does not happen, they are threatened by some kind of negative consequences," he was quoted by Interfax as saying. "I think this is absolutely unacceptable." |

| #9 I'll correct myself, the KMT was Chinese, but the Japanese Army in Manchuria and Mongolia was operating under the guise of the Manchurian puppet government it had set up to justify their actions in that area. |

| #8 Jackel, it cleaned the KMT [Japanese in composition] Army's clock. The Army was operating independent of the civilian government in Tokyo. In 1905, the Army worked for the government, not the other way around. |

| #7 Actually, CG, the USSR cleaned Japan's clock at Nomonhan in 1939. It was the most important battle you never heard of, since it convinced Japan not to join in with German in June 1941. |

| #6 You know Puty, the last time the Russians pissed off the Japanese without the American's knocking at Tokyo's door [in care of LeMay's B-29s], they kicked your kister. And that was about Korea too. Just a reminder. |

| #5 Ok, Seryosha, yank on Kimmie's chain and make him behave then. Unless you already tried and failed to make your yappy little dog heel... |

| #4 These discussions are fundamental in the long term to convincing Japan to build up its armed forces in order to counter the growing power of China as well as the NK threat. Every missile launched is another vote in the Diet. |

| #1 Talk is cheap and Moscow is a way long way from where the action is. Seems the Japanese are genuinely pissed off at the NORKs and not in a mood to be shined. I hope we back them fully. |
