    This is like the weirdest inter-national hostility in the world to me. As far as I know, there is absolutely no reason for Japan to have a hostile stance towards Russia other than because Japan is a US vassal, and that the Japanese Empire got its butt kicked by the Red Army (but that seems like it wouldn’t that much of an effect in 2026, even if the Japanese govt still clings to that kind of stuff).

      They have some territorial disputes, but certainly my read is also that it’s mostly vassal behavior. Don’t wanna piss of the bosses
