To say the world was turned upside down in February is an understatement. In 2014, “Crimean history” also caused a lot of anger in the “western world”, but the level of financial and political restrictions on the name of 2022 in relation to Russia is unprecedented, previously unknown to the sublunar world. Here even the eternal outcasts to Iran and North Korea withdrew respectfully into the shadows.
The political confidence of Europe, America and Japan, which joined, proudly declared: all manufacturers should leave and leave Russia without their goods. And the products are more than $50,000, the Russians will never see them again. Apparently, according to our neighbors, it was precisely such measures that had to take people to the barricades, who only yesterday stuck wallpaper on the leftover water after cooking rice and painted cars with a vacuum cleaner. They seemed to be friends, everyone knew each other.
A coin always has two sides. And then it suddenly became clear that the “gas station country” also turned out to be a “barn country” and a “heater country”. That’s the news! And it also suddenly became clear that leaving the Russian market would lead to the sale of their assets at a huge discount price and a complete rejection of previous agreements. And this alignment of events did not inspire everyone – the Japanese suddenly remembered that from time immemorial they had adhered to a simple and ingenious macroeconomic rule: politics is politics and business is business. Caesar – Caesar’s, in a word.
The basis for this insight was laid by the Sakhalin-2 gas complex, in which Mitsubishi owns 10%. Another 12.5% - Japanese Mitsui. And the Sakhalin Island shelf supplies 10% of all the gas Japan needs, the rejection of which will lead to power outages, production shutdowns and many other phenomena that are detrimental to the economy. So-so idea, however you look at it.
To keep pumping and sinking, the Japanese had to violate their own sanctions, which had been put in place earlier. In a simple way, a precedent was set, which in the future can be used and extended to all Japanese companies with interests in Russia. It is clear that Mitsubishi lawyers will be the first to tackle the case, who have already managed to “fake their ears with their ears”.
The Japanese are generally not known for abrupt and thoughtless decisions, they think long and rarely change the strategy of their actions. February’s flip cost their economy, which is already going through tough times, a high price, so business – and it is much stronger and more influential in Japan than it is in Russia – will look for opportunities to preserve and increase. If the state allows one, it cannot prohibit the other. Especially when it comes to a giant like Mitsubishi Corporation. Therefore, it is “Three Diamonds” who have serious opportunities to arrange deliveries of cars and components to Russia in the very near future. And there, you see, the rest will catch up.
