Slopehead Championships are on once again, place your bets
The discovery of a map drawn in 1861 may reignite a simmering territorial row between South Korea and Japan, and further damage bilateral relations that are already strained. The map was drawn by Korean cartographer and geologist Kim Jeong-ho and clearly marks the rocky islets that are known in South Korea today as Dokdo as being part of the kingdom of Korea.

I'm really not understanding this disagreement. Are there resources at stake here like oil or fishing rights in the area? Surely it can't just be about two worthless rocks.
>>136205620
It's war over clay. Asians get fucking crazy over it
>>136205620
It's just rock. But South Korea controls the island. That landing thing on the rock was built by Koreans and have several people living there watching over the place.
>>136204704
Korean always talks about Japan. Why do they love Japan so much?
>>136208510

>>136204704
Do not be fooled. The map is a recent forgery.
Dokdo = Japan.

Japan should fight for the Kuril islands instead. It's actually habitable and rightfully theirs.

You're supposed to say - "How much?"
Then I say - "I don't know. But, it's gotta be a lot."

Nobody give shit.

Is this about bamboo island? Well with Japan, the oldest map to draw it was from 400+ years ago.

>claimed islands' shorelines extend a 370km exclusive economic zone for ocean resources and oil
You think they give a shit about rocks? They give a shit about the fishing and oil.
>>136216718
>200km
Nautical miles aren't kilometers.
>>136221863
Well South Korea has been pretty shit to the US relatively lately. Perhaps they should be taught a lesson.

>AN OLD MAP SAYS A BUNCH OF WORTHLESS ROCKS BELONG TO ME!
>NO, MY OLD MAP SAYS THEY BELONG TO ME!
This is just right hand vs left hand nonsense.
>>136222902
we need to just burn the whole peninsula and colonize it already.
It's literally nothing since Japan has the Ogasawara Islands going all the way to Iwo Jima and Saipan. Plus Japan's declining population there is no economic importance for Japan desu
>>136204704
They should play a game of Starcraft over it.
>>136222902
Nigger the Koreans have always talked shit about their former liberators once they get weaker. They did the same with Ming, Qing, Us, then you folks (in favor of China).
>>136222984
cool, isn't it?
>>136223591
Taiwan should compete for it too
