Simply because the people on the island are of Japanese ancestry means jack****. Russia has ownership of the islands so they are Russian islands. Enough said.
By that logic, the gold is Japan's. Japan has ownership over the gold, so it is Japanese gold. Enough said...
KH FOR OWNER!
ASHER FOR CEO!!

Sure, as long as you can find a Czar to return it to.
BTW - What's the statue of limitation on plundering someone's national treasury?"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961

Word ..... Japan doesn't own the gold, they are just looking after in their bank and are being difficult in giving it back.By that logic, the gold is Japan's. Japan has ownership over the gold, so it is Japanese gold. Enough said...
Ownership of the gold was never in dispute as far as I'm aware.

Should Japan Return The Czar's Gold?
Why should we pay Tzars's debt while we can't get back some of his property?
It's a bit
unfair aproach.

Stolen, my ass. Those lands belonged to Russia untill Japan stolen them after their war of agression against Russia. If in 2105 Russia will invade Texas, take it from you and if you'll attack Russia later, in 2145 and return Texas back to America, will it be thievery of Russian land "Texas"?Originally posted by Drake Tungsten
How about a trade? Russia can have the czar's gold back if they agree to give back the islands (Sakhalin & Kuriles) that they stole from Japan...Comment

So what. Russia doesn't have it. If they want it back, it would be wise to make it worth Japan's while.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
It can be traced to being stolen from the country and placed in accounts from anti-Bolsheviks.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

If we are will not get back the Tzar's property, I don't see why we should pay Tzar's debt.Comment

The Tsar was a bloody war criminal. He should have been executed . . . after a trial, of course.Originally posted by DaShi
Maybe the Russians shouldn't have gone an killed their Czar in the first place. In my mind, it's fair game.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

You could make the argument that in ownership disputes, custody is 9/10ths of the law.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Unfortunately no. Russia still pay off this debt every year. The Bolshevicks repudiated this debt, but this dumbass Yeltsin, confirmed our obligations after collapse of the USSR and we have to pay off this debt.Originally posted by DinoDoc

So, it's pretty logical to demand property of the person whose debt is laid on owr shoulders. Isn't it?Comment
