Should Russia return Kuril Islands back to Japan?

Nah, you're good

Yup. Mental issue. Finns have always tried to live in peace. Same fits today. Neighbours just have not always allowed that luxury.
Tsar Nikolai II had once said that Finland is the least problematic area in whole Russia. He was quite right...we know what happened.

That's pretty good. Some other countries can definitely take lessons from Finland.

I don't think that the Poles are paranoid about Russia.

They are, my friend, nothing personal!

I think the main problem is that so many people in Eastern Europe still think Russia is a Communist country. It isn't. Things have changed drastically, doesn't matter what propaganda you read in the Western media.

If Japan is a bad boy, Russia could always sell them to the Chinese.

The only islands which can get you riled up currently are the Diaoyutai/Senkaku Islands. Getting the Kuril Island for China would create a new point of contention with Japanese for future titan clashes.

I just find it a pity no (preferably nationalist) Japanese person posts here.

There is only one way to get spoils of war back. And that is not whining and begging

China getting the Kurils would basically be a troll move. lol

Exactly. Besides, Japan offers absolutely nothing useful to Russia except for maybe increased consumption of it's gas. That's Japan's primary problem nowadays, it's basically just a US client state and besides some tech or financial aid, offers little substantive. Definitely nothing important enough to warrant getting those very strategically important islands back.

Indeed. We actually have a few members from China proper here already. Another account registered a few days ago and posts classification stuff. Perhaps only a matter of time before some Japanese find the forum.
