The Kuril Islands are in the news this week, with Putin’s visit there. Undoubtedly a shit-stirring mission, to attempt to piss the Japanese off. However, whatever…...
It’s a fascinating part of the world. Haven’t been on to the islands. But in Rausu, Kunashiri Island is ever present.

Some pictures from a trip to Notsuke Peninsula in Hokkaido last autumn. At 28km long, it's the longest sandspit in the country, and surprisingly filled with deer and other wildlife. Very windy with a view of Russian-occupied Kunashiri Island on the horizon. 1/3

Good morning to you, from a very rainy, grey Tokyo. Getting prepped today for a shoot in Nagano-ken tomorrow. It'll be a very early start out from Tokyo tomorrow morning. So this little Alfie will be getting in to bed by 10pm at the very latest.

I'm thinking more like it's time for Japan to invade and reclaim Kunashiri, Etorofu, Shikotan, and Urup.
This would be the most appropriate tit-for-tat.

He's the guy who keeps an eye on satellite imagery of russian military installations, and he's the one who noticed in 2023 when russia moved its missiles off of Etorofu and Kunashiri to use against Ukraine. Sadly the English translations for all his vids are extremely terrible.

Russia not only occupies swathes of eastern and southern Ukraine, including Crimea, but also Kunashiri, Etorofu, Shikotan, and the Habomai islets off the coast of Hokkaido. Russia may have forgotten how the USSR broke the non-aggression pact with Japan (in force until 1946), but Japan has not.

Updated: Putin's visit is the first by a Russian president to the disputed islands since President Dmitry Medvedev made the first such trip, to Kunashiri, in November 2010.

In the final days of WWII, the USSR drafted a plan to invade Hokkaido via south Sakhalin and occupy everything north of a line between Rumoi and Kushiro but it never went ahead.
It was never feasible then, and it isn't now either. Anyway, MacArthur was adamant that Japan would not be divided.
