So the prez of russia takes a tour to the four Kuril islands. However, this recent tour has angered quite a few Japenesse people. You see, they were their islands, until WWII where the Soviet Union seized them. Unfortunetly, Japan wants them back, and Russia wants to keep them. They proposed to give back two of the four islands, but Japan still would like all of them. Mabye that is because of offshore oil, silver, gold and other resources.
