Posted in: Japan continues to play nationalist card against Russia See in context
regardless of rational arguements, japan has invested too much emotionally in this issue to ever let it go (the right wing goons would never stand for it)... also, japan would be very wary about dealing with russia on the issue of energy after seeing the russians literally turn the gas taps off to one of their own states in the middle of winter when a dispute arose a few years ago... for all its protestations about US bases and military, the japanese will never leave the clammy embrace of the US
