You need to read more on the issue, it's literally called "Invasion of the Kuril Islands". The lands had zero to do with Russia, it had nothing to do with "saving Russians" or whatever. As is typical of Russians, they are eager to invade but when it comes to taking care of the conquests, they just let it rot. Go look at images of Japanese rule vs the Russian disaster. The Invasion of the Kuril Islands took place between August 18 and September 3 (Japan had announced its surrender August 15, and formally signed it September 2). There's a lesson to be learned here. Any contract with Russia is completely worthless. Russia has randomly reneged on countless international agreements. Oh, I see. Your view is still that Ukraine, Georgia aren't real countries, they have to do exactly what Russia says. Glad you finally show your real face and effectively paraphrase everything Putin has said. This video shows you can never have peaceful relations with Russia and thus majority of Russians.
MAD VLAD really dares to talk about russian "culture" and "civilization". when in fact - under him - it's more than ever all about corruption, violence and alcoholism. putin is like cancer. and has to be treated as such.
You missed the point, or I was not clear. My point was that Russia is justified to do anything in its interest to keep Nato affiliated countries away from its direct borders. If you can't do that, then invade them. Cuba missile crisis ring any bells? The US until today "occupies" a piece of the land and uses it to torture humans in violation of the Geneva conventions. How come we never hear you get so outraged about that as well?
Or USA invading in Syria, stealing the oil of Syria and then even shamelessly claiming just to protect the Syrian oil fields...
Whataboutism stage again? Russia is invading a European country in a genocidal war. And "some people" "seem" to wonder why everyone wants to become a NATO member and nobody wants to become Russia? Go to Russia and stay there, both of you. Trade the Russian stock market, if any of you even trades at all, and stay in the Russian trading forums. I'm sure you will meet a lot of like-minded people there, great growth market, and it will be fun - unless you'll be sent as cannon fodder into Ukraine, of course. That's probably less fun. Russians are mass murderers of women and children. Every day. This has to end. Now. Russia has to leave Ukraine, pay reparations, and war criminals need to be brought to justice.
You really don't understand the slavic psyche. I'm from that genepool. It makes total sense. Welcome to the world of crazy ivan.
