Russia summons Japanese ambassador over disputed islands comments

Yes Hoppo Ryodo.  Ridiculous that Russia stole them at the end of WW2 and has never been forced to return them.  Japan should do a Falklands.

How are they going to man the military, sorry “self defense force”, to get the islands back? Our youth don’t want to do any hard work. And according to JT, we’re not even self sufficient in food.

Of course, you know that.

What a joke!

Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday it had summoned the Japanese ambassador in Moscow

And probably also told the Japanese ambassador, "Cease and desist! Japan will never get the islands back! So forget about it!"

 Japan should do a Falklands.

Impossible! Japan's Article 9 first paragraph would never allow this action. Japan's hands are tied as far as using military action to settle disputes.

IF Japan really wants the island back and force is the only way to get it back, then it either: (1) change Article 9 so they can "do a Falklands", or (2) ask the U.S. military to get it back for them....which I doubt the U.S. will do.
