TIMES
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

I no longer care about the Olympics...they ruined it themselves.
Wars and rumors of wars.

Just handing them back to Japan would set a terrible precedent that might lead to world pressure, for example, to also return the Koenigsberg region (Kaliningrad Oblast) that the Soviet Union appropriated for itself after WWII from Germany. (The fact that the SU completely "ethnically cleansed" that region of all Germans following the conquest is immaterial.)
As an aside: I would wager that the US will try to shame Russia in the world's eyes (and exert other kinds of pressure that they can) to return the Kurils to Japan as being inappropriate to hold onto land won by conquest. But, since Israel owns the US gov't lock, stock, and barrel, there will be nary a peep about them returning all the occupied/annexed territories.
