Jamesc Hypersonic June 22, 2021 Share June 22, 2021 Quote Japan occupied Korea and Taiwan for 50 years and they could not enforce their culture and language on the people That's because at that time they didn't have Jpop, Jdrama and no Gangnam style. Look at how Korea conquered Asia with the Korean wave. 5 minutes only and all the Macdonalds BTS meals sold out. So many ladies hooked on Kdrama and many old men love Wonder Girls and SNSD. I didn't know we had so many cheeko pehs until I read so many posts here saying how much they like SNSD Tiffany. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So use 2 atomic bomb to end war before russia reach japan capital. in fact before war with usa and invasion of southeast asia, japan ald run out of resource and exhausted of having war with china. So they attack pearl harbor to give them some time to invade southeast asia to get more resources 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOBIEMKZ Turbocharged June 23, 2021 Share June 23, 2021 I think this article explains China's anxiety and its policies: https://www.rt.com/op-ed/527170-us-china-xinjiang-oil/ And to quote a content: "The traditional route of importing oil across the Indian Ocean, through the Strait of Malacca and up through the South China Sea, is at the mercy of the United States, which, through its ‘free and open Indo-Pacific’ strategy, is aiming to military encircle China via the water around it. There’s a hypothetical fear that, in a conflict, Washington could embargo shipping routes from beyond China’s periphery and, by extension, cut off oil imports. It would be a quick route to crippling Beijing, if the US were to pull it off." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't win in Iraq and Afghanistan so they better stop dreaming of pulling anything other than the carpet they are standing on. They can't even properly decouple from China and with China holding so much USD, perhaps it's better to treat the lender with more respect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
