Japan Breaks with U.S. Allies, Buys Russian Oil at Prices Above Cap

There is indeed a shocking reality of how short-sighted and strategically shallow the opinions of people may be, as amply demonstrated in this comment. You do realize that the US invaded Iraq against international law, right? And that no punishment has yet been forthcoming? Double standards and hypocrisy are what is breaking the coalition around the US, not to mention direct attacks on allies' infrastructure.

I don't think events related to what happened in Iraq has any relevance to Japan's view of international relations, or any other democratic society.

The question was about if Japan has any reasons to feel threatened by what happened in Ukraine. My reason is, any democratic society should be, which is not hard to imagine.

The question of "who is more saint" does not have any strategical significance and is clear reflection of russian propaganda. Obviously, nobody is saint. That doesn't make what happened in Bucha less shocking.
