       Tsarist Russia wrested from Opium War-weakened Manchu control in
       1858-60 under the Treaties of Aigun and Peking. This area
       includes parts of Siberia, from which Putin’s much-vaunted

       > Ukraine’s resistance to Putin’s invasion has demolished the
       idea of Russian invincibility. Everyone knows Russia is not the
       unbeatable empire Moscow was at pains to portray itself as both
       outwardly and inwardly. And just as Russia is trying to claim
       Ukraine as its own, other countries are eyeing chunks of Russian
       land, spotting an opportunity as the war shows just how weak the
       Russian army is. Nations within Russia are waiting for the right
       time to oust the bully. The Kremlin should be wary of promoting
       a world where it is acceptable to seize territories through
       force; it only invites others to join in and claim parts of
       Russia for themselves.
       >
       > Japan was the first country to break its silence after the
       full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year. Tokyo said of the
       Kuril Islands that it was “completely unacceptable that the
       Northern Territories have yet to be returned since the Soviet
       Union’s illegal occupation of them 77 years ago”. That
       annexation saw the expulsion of Japanese people from the
       southern islands, and since then, the countries have failed to
       reach a compromise. Talks broke down when Putin showed he was
       not willing to share lands but only to gain new ones.

       Unable to claim this territory back in a peaceful way, Beijing
       has pursued economic expansion around Baikal and has been
       actively purchasing and leasing lands near the border.
       > ...
       > Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and even Ukraine could also
       stake interests in vying for Russian lands. Russian fighters
       infiltrating the Belgorod region under the Ukrainian flag served

       “primordial territories”. Kyiv aims to restore its 1991 borders
       and end the war. Yet the prospect of exiled Russians on tanks
       turning Russian border regions into “national republics” is seen
       as a welcomed payback for Moscow’s deeds in the Donbas.

       absent due to oppression and persecution within Russia. When the
       Soviet Union fell apart, several regions of Russia declared
       their state sovereignty but were silenced. These regions have
       constitutions stating their sovereignty as separate states, with
       power-sharing treaties governing their relationship with Moscow.
       These norms are “dormant”, but they can be activated as soon as

       elites to seek independence. The destruction of Chechnya showed
       other nations that were forcibly joined to Russia how Moscow

       caskets delivered from the front line to small towns and

       Yes, this also means that "Siberia historically belongs to

       Russia took Siberia from China. China now wanting to respect

       China has nukes and a powerhouse army who can crush weakened
       Russia.

       about its territory the Russians seized a hundred years ago in
       the far east.  The area that has the natural gas that Russia now
       wants to sell the Chinese.  That does not sit well with the
       Chinese, to pay for gas from land taken from them by Russia.
       Not well at all.
