En tout cas le Japon reste l'allie des US dans cette affaire, et s'interroge toujours sur la position a adopter. On parlait beaucoup de sanctions economiques au debut de la semaine, moins maintenant...

Et qu'il est un peu irrealiste de penser que Kim Jong-Il souhaite aller a la guerre comme ca alors que son pays meurt.

Plus sérieusement, il y a quoi comme risque ? (de déclenchement de la guerre, j'entends)

Concernant le point de vue de la chine, surtout pour des raisons géopolitiques, ils digèrent très mal cet affaire (Conflit = pas bon pour l'économie).Si un conflit s'installe, c?est sur que la chine prendra les devants (elle peut pas non plus blairer la Corée du nord aussi), vue les ressources militaire dont la chine dispose, la Corée du nord risque d'être totalement pulvériser (et encore le mot et faible),ça ferais presque passer les boys américain pour des touriste en short a fleur comparée aux chinois.(l?endoctrinement communiste chinois dans toute sa splendeur)

Quand a la Russie je ne sais pas trop, mais elle doit être moins impliquée que la chine dans cette affaire de missile, même si elle condamne les faits, mais des tractations politique entre la chine et la Russie ne sont pas a exclure pour tenter de calmer le jeu. (Et pour des raison d?entente cordial entre ces 2 pays)

‘Akira’ creator Otomo feted by Japanese government

Manga artist and anime director Katsuhiro Otomo, creator of the internationally-acclaimed manga series “Akira” and director of its film adaptation, was honored by the Japanese government with its Medal with Purple Ribbon in November, a very rare honor for a practitioner in the animation industry. The medal is given by the Japanese government to individuals who have contributed to academic and artistic developments, usually to individuals who have contributed to traditional arts, crafts and performing arts. Otomo is only the fourth animator to receive the prestigious honor.

According to the citation from the Japanese government, Otomo was honored with the medal for “his unparalleled skills in illustration, composition, storytelling and acute visual sense that went into the many excellent works he produced as a manga artist and animation film director over a long period of time, which resulted in garnering international attention and contributing to development of our country’s fine arts and culture.” Previously, only three other animation artists have been given the award: Yoji Kuri, Taku Furukawa and Isao Takahata.

Otomo made his professional debut as a manga artist in 1973. He was praised for his work in “Domu: A Child’s Dream” and “Akira”, which was released in 1983. The animated adaptation of “Akira” was released in 1988, and has been named as an influence by many filmmakers and animators globally, opening doors for Japanese anime to take the world by storm. Otomo directed a few other animated films, including “Memories” (1995), “Steamboy” (2004) and “Combustible” (2013). In 2005, the French government awarded Otomo with the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters).
