The G7 Summit meeting was held in Hiroshima. The city, however, which has been arduous in building up a world where nuclear weapons be abolished and peace be prevailed, saw itself being converted to be a venue of regression. The G7 members have shared openly the nuclear deterrence doctrine in common, which has triggered strong objections from many circles across Japan. The US-Japan alliance is the axis of evil as it took initiative of the event.
FICTIONALITY OF NUCLEAR DETERRENCE EXPOSED
The G7 Hiroshima Summit has ended in bitterness; retreat from elimination of nuclear weapons, hindrance in ceasefire in Ukraine and surge of tensions in the Asian region.
Spiral of intimidation
The G7 Leaders’ Communique represents the nuclear deterrence theory, which pursues ‘a world without nuclear weapons with undiminished security for all’. It wants to say, in other words, that it is vital to have more nuclear weapons than Russia in order to prevent Mr. Putin from threatening the adversary with this kind of arms.
We, members of the New Socialist Party of Japan, think that the following facts represent nuclear threats; deployment of US nukes within the NATO borders, the three documents on national security approved last December by the Kishida government and enhancement of the nuclear umbrella agreed on between the top leaders of the United States and Republic of Korea. The recent G7 meeting has in fact accelerated a spiral of nuclear threatenings.
The Kishida administration, which depends on the nuclear umbrella of the United States, has played a sheer, contradictory role, serving presidency of the event, under the banner of a world without nuclear arms. Moreover, ‘the G7 Hiroshima Vision on Nuclear Disarmament’ incorporates a clause to ‘pursue uses of nuclear energy’.
Ms Setsuko Thurlow, a Japanese Hibakusha living in Canada, said; ‘it is not right to justify possession of nuclear arms of one’s own, accusing rivals of their tenure. Such arguments must not be transmitted from the atomic-bombed city of Hiroshima’.
Hiroshima was a venue of diplomacy on arms business
The invitation of Mr. Zelensky has worsened the situation, too. Mr. Biden allowed the NATO allies, to which the United States had sold F-16 fighters, to provide Ukraine with the aircraft. Thus, Hiroshima has become a site of weapon trade, negotiating with Mr. Zelensky.
Hibakushas have expressed severe disapprovals on the G7 meeting; they condemned, firstly, the nuclear deterrence doctrine, as a matter of course. Their assertions lead to harsh criticisms on fictitious military deterrence in general. It is because deterrence cannot but go towards nuclear deterrence.
Stage-managed hatred on China
The G7 leaders handled Russia and China as a single unit, saying that ‘supporting the free and open Indo-Pacific, we oppose any unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion’. They have declared to blockade China as their long-term target lies in that country. Some of the leaders pay sincere consideration to her, but the bloc as a whole, led by the US and Japan, eventually played a role of foes of China.
India and Brazil were invited, too, but they took part only in two programs out of the ten agenda. The two countries remained cautious on meetings which Mr. Zelensky attended. And therefore, no ‘statement’ was issued on Ukraine by the participants, including the invitees.
President Lula of Brazil said: ‘I have not come here to discuss the war between Ukraine and Russia. The G7 meeting is not a setting to talk about wars. Nothing can start, if the warring parties would not concede 100%’.
Many of the participants do not follow the US-Japan track.
Ｇ７広島サミットは、正に核廃絶を逆行させ、ウクライナ停戦を遅らせ、アジアの緊張を高めるものだった。
威嚇スパイラル
「Ｇ７首脳声明」は、「安全が損なわれない形で核のない世界」という「核抑止力」論に貫かれていた。プーチン氏の核威嚇の実行を抑止するためには、ロシア以上の核保有が不可欠というわけだ。
ＮＡＴＯへの米の核配備も、「安保三文書」と４月の米韓首脳合意に示された核の傘の強化も「威嚇」ではないのか。Ｇ７は核威嚇のスパイラルを加速した。
米の核の傘に依存する岸田政権が、「核のない世界」を掲げて広島サミットの議長国を務めること自体が背理なのだ。しかも「核軍縮に関するＧ７広島ビジョン」は、「原子力エネルギー利用の促進」まで謳った。
被爆者のサーロー節子さんは、「自国の核兵器は肯定し、対立する国の核兵器を非難するばかりの発信を被爆地からするのは許されない」と述べた。
武器外交の場に
ゼレンスキー氏を招いたことも火に油を注いだ。バイデン氏はＮＡＴＯ諸国に販売したＦ16戦闘機のウクライナへの提供を認め、サミットはゼレンスキー氏を囲む武器外交の場と化した。
被爆者らの厳しいサミット批判は「核抑止」は無論、「武力による抑止」一般の虚構への批判に連なる。「抑止力」論は「核抑止」に向わざるを得ないからだ。
中国敵視を演出
また、ロシアと中国を一体で扱い、「自由で開かれたインド太平洋を支持し、力または威圧による一方的な現状変更の試みに反対」などと対中包囲網の強化を宣言。長期的ターゲットは中国だ。中国に配慮する国もあるが、米日主導で中国敵視が演出された。
インドやブラジルなども「招待」されたが、10の討議テーマのうち参加したのは２つ。インドとブラジルはゼレンスキー氏を加えた会合には慎重で、招待国を含めたウクライナ問題への「声明」は出せていない。
ブラジルのルラ大統領は、「ウクライナとロシアの戦争のために来たわけでない。Ｇ７は戦争の話をする場ではない。双方とも１００％譲らないのは無理」と述べた。招待された国の多くも、日米の意図には乗じない。
