While it may be unacceptable for Russia to be called an occupier, it must be very much more unacceptable for Japan to still be partly occupied.

Japanese were instrumental in installing Communism in Russia first through industrialising its Navy with the help of Britain and financing by NY banker Jacob Schiff to launch an attack on Czarist Russia to weaken the state and try and bring the failed Communist revolution of 1905 then through Schiff and Japanese intelligence sponsored Marxist front organisation like The League of Freedom that hosted a Marxist international conference in the Czech Rep. Plus it sided with Germany during WW2. It’s Ironic as Japan still host military bases in it’s country not to mention it was one of the countries to recognise the illegal independence of Kosovo.

Is it true that Japan actually has, as many Nuclear Warheads as France? Is is true also that it has many missles aimed at the United States and Russia. Does this sound like 1941 just before Pearl harbor?

One must look at History. What is the culture of Japan, what is the culture of Russia? Theoughout History, Japan has been an agressor. Ask the people of China, Korea, the Phillipines, the Unted States, etc. As History teaches when dealing with the culture of Japan be very careful/wary. - Ironically Japan ran into a larger aggressor recently named Soros, Rogers, Cramer who have stolen much of their financial wealth.

Its hilarious one of the aggressors of WW2 now wants to look like the victim. They were of course, but not of invasion, but of their pride and belief of being superior. American bankers helped of course. Thats the price of having too strong words. Id say the so-called dispute was over before it began. Japan shouldnt say what is legal, cause theres a lot of illegal stuff they do, extermainate poor whales and whatnot. :-) You give Japan finger and it will try to bite off your hand.

To Marcipan 789L-P: Yes, Japan was most assuredly one of the aggressors of WW2. It occupied a large part of Asia and the Pacific, until it was defeated in 1945. Just as Soviet Russia occupied half of Europe for half a century after the War, until its terror-based empire finally collapsed under its own weight, and freedom emerged from beneath the ruins of its collapse. Japan has frequently expressed regret to the victims of its imperialist aggression, and sought genuine reconciliation with them. Russia, for the most part, has not. You write, “It’s hilarious one of the aggressors of WW2 now wants to look like the victim.” I agree, in the case of both aggressors. But as well as its aggression against others, Russia and Japan have also been the victim of others' aggression, Russia in the past and Japan now. None of this is a reason for any part of either Russia or for any part of Japan to remain under foreign occupation. The territory of each is determined by treaties that recognized it in the first place.

Japan still refused to admit that it was the aggressor and invader of most of Asia. They used the term "Liberator" and teach the young Jappanese school children accordingly. They refuse to accept responsibility that they forced women in occupied territory to serve their troops as comfort women. They are not sincere and and many of their leaders (Prime Ministers included) defiantly paid annual visit to Yasakuni (whatever that name is - I can't remember correctly and I guess it is best forgotten totally) to pay homage to war criminals without remorse of feeling for the occupied countries. What is most worrying is that america is actively encouraging and promoting the re-arming of Japan. I shudder to think of the consequences especially now an ex military head man is perpetuating and distorting it war crimes to make Japan look good. It is dangerous. Very dangerous and troubling.

If Russia is occupying the Kurils, America is occupying Japan as a whole since 1945...
