Well, the modern conflicts are in countries that are actually not worth managing or owning. Just get the oil and leave the rest of it to fester, oh did I release the long term plans again, damn.

Russia Japan. Not sure Japan is truly interested in getting it back? What’s Kan up to? Diverting attention away from the disaster into something which the Japanese people feel strongly about(Against) the Russians? But, the Northern territories people themselves want to stay with Russia, so I read.

But this is exactly what war has come down to, territorial disputes on a small scale. If Russia were ever to trade blows with Japan, neither nation is at risk of fighting for its survival. Japan does not want to conquer Russia and vice versa.
