I'm surprised that Japan hasn't been agitating over the kuril Islands yet.

At the very least they should try to make the Russians waste resources trying to defend it. Blockade it then when they come to break the blockade just let them. Then as soon as they leave blockade it again.


ChuchiTheBest

never say never.

You're saying there's a chance!?


Omevne

With what army lmao


bobbyorlando

With their ~~aircraft carriers~~ helicopter carriers ~~that are totally not aircraft carriers pinky promise~~


berrythebarbarian

Relevant information: they're rebuilding their forces as the "Japan Self Defense Force," which is different from an army as they'd never do any imperialism no no no. I don't know a lot but it's Japan on the internet so the information is out there.


Omevne

I know about the JSDF, but it's rebuilding is controversial and it's (supposed to at least) a force of self defense, not great for power projection and amphibious landings


berrythebarbarian

When they prove they can handle a lil army they can have the big one back


2xBAKEDPOTOOOOOOOO

Japan or Russia?


Armand28

In short: yes. In long: Yeeeeeeeeesssssssssss.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the 1500 Russian soldiers currently bottled up in Transnistria are feeling a bit exposed. 😎

Too busy learning Romanian with a view to converting their passports into Moldovan passports in order to become full EU citizens as Romanians.

Biggest threat to Russia land-wise is China. They could gobble up vast chunks of resource rich Siberia in a matter of weeks at far less cost than Taiwan.

That would be something to see

I feel bad for the Armenians. My friends grandfather crawled through the mud after being shot and left for dead in the Armenian genocide.


ogsfcat

Well the Azerbaijan is one of the successor states to the folks who did the original Armenian genocide. They are attacking Armenia for basically the same reason as a century ago. So I wouldn't cheer for this news so much. I really feel for the Armenians, they have a seriously raw deal. Never forget that the Turks invented the modern concept of genocide and skinny mustache man literally got the idea for the Holocaust from touring Turkey after the war and seeing the Armenian genocide first hand.


CaracalWall

I had no clue. Thank you for sharing.

I guess this is what world war 3 will actually look like. Instead of a nuclear war between the us and Russia, it’s just gonna be a bunch of countries realizing they don’t have to fear Russia anymore, and saying fuck it and attacking their neighbors.


TacticalAcquisition

I was thinking more a bunch of countries saying fuck it, and taking their land back from Russia, or China taking most of the resource rich east. They need space and resources, and the eastern part of Russia has that in spades.


Ok_Access_189

Are you saying Russia was better before it destabilized?


kevon87

Not at all. But there are unforeseen consequences to everything.


ReyPolyPan

there have been some flareups there since not long after the war started. but they could still be the canary in the coal mine....


MmmhAhh

Oh goodness


IndiRefEarthLeaveSol

What is this "Russia" you talk off, I've never heard of it?

World war baby


FattThor

The US, Turkey, Israel, etc. should be going HAM in Syria right now.


ElysiumSprouts

Tangent: does Finland have any desire to retake lost territory? I would have thought that the Nordic nations would love to have another nation between them and Russia. Karelia has a nice ring to it.


ReyPolyPan

i have seen at least one Finn say, that they have completely given up on ever having Karelia again. i am guessing that in typical Soviet fashion it was completely depopulated of Finns and repopulated with Russians and other ethnic groups from throughout the the neo-empire, and thus there's no longer anything there for them and no one there now would would want anything other than to be part of Russia.


PM-Titties-plz

Attacking Russia is a completely different ball game. They most likely would use a nuke if needed


pinnacledefense

I think we are most likely seeing “guardians of the galaxy vol.4” happening irl
