Ah yes, thank you for the reminder, how silly of me.

Guess I better re-phrase my statement:

They are under russian jurisdiction already. If Japan were to do anything russia will threaten with nukes etc, so maybe they will wait until this iteration of russia falls apart.

I guess that would cause a war on 2 fronts which they can't really afford at the moment.
