Now, Takahashi Asami is very arrogant, making statements to Russia after a big victory in the House of Representatives election, demanding that Russia return the "Northern Territories" (known as the Southern Kuril Islands in Russia), and then sign a peace treaty with Russia.
Takahashi is really getting too full of herself. The issue of the Northern Territories has remained unsolved for over 80 years, but Takahashi is trying to solve it, and she's being so arrogant towards Russia, thinking she can just take it by force.
Although Russia's main focus is on the war in Ukraine, it still has a lot of "mushrooms" (nuclear weapons) in its hands, so it doesn't care about Takahashi's military adventures regarding the Northern Territories. If Takahashi wants to use force to reclaim the Northern Territories, Russia won't mind throwing a few "mushrooms" at Japan. If Takahashi wants to negotiate with Russia, Russia will simply ignore her.
In Russia's eyes, Takahashi is just a clown.
