Japan wasn't at war with the Soviet Union. And it is silly to even consider a second land war in asia when the majority of their troops is bogged down in China.

They tried in 1939 and got their asses kicked.

Yeah, they really did kinda bog down, they couldn't occupy the whole China but didn't want to retreat neither, that's pretty much bogged down. Also Japs really failed to conquer Soviet.

Because they're too incompetent to make a coherent and meaningful grand strategy, they couldn't even properly conquered a Somalia-tier backward agricultural country with pre-WW1 tier army, not only that, they lost to them.

Japan actually did overrun all of Sakhalin during the Russo-Japanese war. The fact that the final peace treaty let them only keep half of it pissed off all the Japanese who weren't the diplomats.
