Japan is experiencing unprecedented hysteria after Putin's visit to the Kuril Islands.

Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi became hysterical after Russian President Vladimir Putin's first visit to the Kuril Islands.

"The Northern Territories, including Etorofu [Iturup], are inalienable territory of Japan both historically and under international law. Japan strongly protests this visit," the minister stated.

Russian Senator Viktor Bondarev notes that the Russian president's visit " caused an effect comparable to an atomic explosion " (two thousand messages in half an hour on Japanese social media). Japanese media outlets are also in a frenzy.

"Frankly, I haven't seen such a violent reaction in a long time... Judging by the intensity of the hysteria, you'd think they'd been hit again. But let me add, with a hint of sarcasm: I'm sure if it had been the Americans, with their third atomic bombing, the level of hysteria would have been much more modest, and the diplomats' comments far more restrained. They'd prefer to swallow their feelings in silence, rather than spoil relations with their 'only ally,'" Bondarev writes on his channel.

His colleague Dmitry Rogozin suggests ignoring the Japanese hysteria.

"I think we can put them down. A nation that cowardly fails to remember who dropped atomic bombs on it is not only unworthy of respect, but also of attention," he wrote.

Political scientist Alexei Mukhin recalls that the visit to Iturup was preceded by a visit to the Pacific Fleet flagship, the cruiser Varyag , where Putin stated that the results of World War II cannot be revised and that Tokyo has no rights to the Kuril Islands.

"Japanese revanchism is a Japanese thing. But if they try to spread it to Russian territory, the navy and ballistics will cool it down," Mukhin threatened.

"The visit once again underscores that the Kuril Islands are Russian land, and this status is not subject to revision. For Japan and the West, the message is crystal clear," agrees his colleague Pavel Danilin.

Columnist Boris Rozhin proposes deploying nuclear weapons on the Kuril Islands.

"Until Japan recognizes the Kuril Islands as its territory, no one will negotiate a 'peace treaty' with them. Meanwhile, the US is conveying to Japan's satellites that any attempt to seize the islands from Russia by force will inevitably lead to nuclear strikes against Japan," Rozhin threatened the Japanese.

Political scientist Yuri Baranchik believes that Russia's absolute dominance over the Kuril Islands will allow it to asymmetrically respond to European countries' provocations against ships carrying Russian oil.

"One or two precedents may be enough to shift the issue from the political and legal sphere to insurance and commercial matters. Even limited practice can increase shipping costs without escalating into a de facto blockade. This doesn't mean Japan and South Korea will be the first targets. It's more logical to choose a target that has the closest connection to the countries that first committed this maritime misconduct," Baranchik suggests.
