Japan already beated Russia more than once. Russia is enormous. But for some reason they cannot really out fight others well. Look at ww2. Well over 25 million dead. by a country the size of the most little sized coin in the world. Japan took those islands before. By force. Incited by U.S, France ,England ,etc. Japan was a laughing matter in Washington, until they took Moscow itself. Do not underestimate Japan. They can come with tech the world has never ever seen. Overnight. But those islands are not a 60 yrs dispute. Before was Russia disputing that those were Russia's island seized by Japan. Russia lost great terrain thanks to Japan and the west. Not in the dissolution's of Soviets, but long long ago. Maybe they add new lands by treaties and accepting nations into the federation. They still want to divide it further to tap all those resources. Americans laugh triumphantly every time they discuss the states Russia lost in 1990's.

@ Alan......

LO OK IT UP, you dip and try reading a post before you c omment on it, you moron.....

19 38! ....BEFORE WW2! At Khalkin Gol the Russians soundly defeated the Japanese in two battles when the Japanese were at the  peak of their power....forcing the Japanese to capitulate in the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact

 The Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact (Nisso Chūritsu Jōyaku?), more extensively known as Japanese–Soviet Non-aggression Pact ( Nisso Fukashin Jōyaku?) was a pact between the Empire of Japan and the Soviet Union signed on April 13, 1941, two years after the brief Soviet-Japanese Border War (1939)....which the Soviets won under the military leadership of General Zhukov who went on later to smash NAZISs at Stalingrad...

F the cowardly Brits who caught the full fury of the Japanese when they decided not to contest the USSR....The Brits went on to suffer one of the largest and most shameful defeats in British history at the battle of Singapore.  I know the Russians defeated the japanese!!!Thats what I said !!!If you stop using so many aliases we may be able to follow your threads.In fact, don't bother,you are obviously taking other conversations out of context.The only battle Russia lost was the 1904 russo-japanese conflict @ sea.Stay off the vodka when you post my hate filled friend:-D

Russia need to take a strong stance against the Japanese government aggression, with the support of the US the Japanese government pushing very aggressively to take over the islands that belong to Russia for hundred of years. Russia should brush off any pressure coming from the US and Japan. The Japanese government is trying to destabilize Asia and pushing for a war with China, Taiwan and other neighbours. the Japanese need to be contain because it seen as if they didn't learn their lesson during WW11.
