Russian Bear is huge but weak
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the Russian army has been losing ground in the Ukrainian battlefield and suffered heavy losses. The Russian army's poor performance shocked the world.
Typically, a crisis strikes when a seemingly strong country shows signs of weakness.
It is already very obvious that Russia is weak, and even Russia's old enemy, the United States, has announced that it no longer regards Russia as an opponent of the same level, which is simply an insult to the Russian bear.
Russia's humiliating behavior in front of the world has an East Asian country ready to move: Japan.
Since World War II, Japan has been very dissatisfied with the Soviet Union (Russia) swallowing the four northern islands of Japan in World War II. Therefore, Japan has been seeking negotiations with Russia in an attempt to regain sovereignty over the four northern islands.
But the arrogant Russians have always ignored Japan. Although Japan is very annoyed, Japan is deterred by the strength of the Russians, so it does not dare to attack Russia.
However, since the Russians invaded Ukraine in 2022 and then performed very poorly on the battlefield, the Japanese have begun to change their minds.
Japan's political and military circles agree that Russia has declined, and the Japanese Prime Minister even openly shouted: "It's time to take back the four northern islands."
After getting the approval of the United States, the Japanese army began to gather forces and prepare to attack Russia.
In the summer of 2025, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force suddenly attacked a Russian warship and killed all Russian officers and soldiers. Russia immediately declared war on Japan, and Japan declared war on Russia.
The Japanese navy first attacked the Russian Far East ports such as Vladivostok, and then lured the Russian Pacific Fleet into battle.
The Russians, dazed by their anger, commanded the Pacific Fleet to leave the port to fight the Japanese navy. However, another Japanese army went directly north to attack Sakhalin, copying the Russians' way. On the other hand, the Japanese navy used an aircraft carrier to cooperate with a submarine in a naval battle to sink the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet.
It was almost a repeat of the Russo-Japanese War in the 19th century, and the Russians suffered a crushing defeat.
