But Japan is often portrayed as noble and honorable. From 1931 to 1941 they did unspeakable things to unarmed Chinese people. The goal was to exterminate the Chinese people and their culture, then take over the land.
But people skip over that decade of disgusting and say boo hoo why did America have to drop two atomic bombs on them?
Then people skip over the part of the US protecting them and allowing them to rebuild their economy without wasting money on military expenses.
I am just getting super excited to spend triple price on everything because inflation is going to go up up up since our defunct government has passed sending 95 billion dollars to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
