About the Northern Territories, Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shoichi publicly stated that the country will spare no effort to reclaim the Northern Territories, even not excluding the possibility of a full-scale war with Russia! Japan claims it wants to reclaim the Northern Territories, but doesn't explicitly mention a full-scale war with Russia. In fact, the meaning is almost the same; it's just various hints, but not openly stated. Regarding the Northern Territories, it was clearly established in the meetings before the end of World War II that these lands and islands were occupied by the Soviet Union.

However, now under the support and hints from the United States, Japan has repeatedly challenged Russia's bottom line, even hinting at the use of military force to reclaim the Northern Territories, which is actually impossible. Dealing with a country like Japan, Russia is really willing to use atomic bombs, because the United States once dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, and if Russia drops two atomic bombs on Japan, the world would immediately be peaceful.

Now Russia itself is very angry, having been so frustrated on the battlefield in Ukraine, leading to a very passive situation for Russia. If Japan dares to attack at this time, Russia is really ready to drop two atomic bombs. This way, it can serve as a warning, to establish authority, and that's the reality.

No matter what, Japan's repeated strong statements are actually not useful, just one of the methods for politicians to increase their popularity and votes. In fact, Japan has no real capability to go to war. If Russia didn't have atomic bombs, Japan would have already taken action. But now, they can't do anything, so they can only make loud noises verbally. If it comes to actual warfare, it's definitely not the right time.

Especially this year is the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan. If Japan dares to resist, it will be immediately suppressed bloodily, and the United States certainly will not agree to Japan's military actions. Ishiba's words and actions are just for show, and in fact, it's impossible.
