If Japan doesn’t join an alliance that threatens to eventually station nukes aimed at Russian cities, and doesn’t attack Russia directly, I doubt that Russia would do something to further encroach on Japan. Why would they? The onus is on you to explain. The original comment seemed to say, well, Russia is just uniquely bloodthirsty, maybe has too many weapons lying around etc. I need something more rooted in realistic analysis. But then again, I can’t say the same for, say, China building artificial islands or USA invading Haiti to restore order. Maybe I am wrong and Russia has a reason to gradually encroach and attack, so I am willing to hear it. I am certainly suspecting that Russia’s spy agencies are helping foment a revolution against the governments in Moldova and Slovakia, which may in the future lead to a civil war there!
