why not give them back to the remaining ainu people so neither Japan or Russia hold them, if Yuri and Nige claim Japans claim is right then surely Ainu's claim is 100% solid. Traditionally their land create an Ainu state why not give back Okinawa and Hokkaido while Japans at…

japan does not have ancient ties to the islands, japan claimed them only several hundred years ago. To ask for the islands back is fine and Japan has already done that, Russia offered two, Japan declined, Russia refuses to hand back all four. A word Japan needs to learn is…

japan seems to be doing its best to NOT get those Islands back. Maybe gas exports to Japan might be accidentally halted

theres a bit on wikipedia about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail why the US is on the list is ridiculous seeing they have only the Acela Express however they are planning to build some. Europe would have to be the best with the largest network

Irrelevant, USSR did not start the war

Seiharinokaze Im not talking about if Russia was an expansionist Empire or not, the size or Russia and Japan has no meaning to this discussion at all. If were talking about History I think it was the Yalta talks that it was decided Britain and US launch an Invasion in…

Tosaken As to the validity of wikipedia, being an academic I realise its flaws but its a reasonably accurate readily available resource for all. Yes you could rewrite wikipedia but doing so doesnt prove anything. My point was that Russia was involved with that Island and thus can make a…

though this about one island and from wikipedia it gives an accurate History that shows Russias right to those Islands are not unfounded. Japan lost the war and signed the San Francisco treaty they gave up claim to those Islands. It would be like Germany trying to claim Prussian lands…
