I think at one point it was being taught all the stuff that happened, but then a shift happen and they slowly started erasing that part of history out of the text books in schools.

They started blaming the US for cutting off their raw supplies after they invaded China

Japan has a history of this though. Abe not the first get killed like that. Another guy before him who was a socialist was murdered on stage.

Yeah and Japan tries to push the narrative they were fighting a defensive war against the USA. The Marco Polo bridge incident was a weak pretense. They were looking for any reason to attack China.

alot of ppl dont know what happened.

america got involved in wwI bc your banks thought they were going to lose their money to the losing armies overseas, so they invented a system of mass propaganda to convince americans to go to war. that system moved into the economy after.

It’s all business. Definitely wasn’t to rescue the Chinese. It became a problem when Hong Kong and Philippines became under attack. Which were both colonies. If japan would’ve stuck to just China I doubt we would’ve got involved.

But they do have them? And it seems they have their own problems. Ttku son…

First I've heard that claim.

He did say the shooting wasn't political.

 

[Turdferguson]

So they wouldn't need to sponge off of other countries for their defense. Oh no, not that!

I think it has more to do with the fact that like Germany when they are armed they have a habit of invading neighboring countries, than them mooching off of other countries for defense.

 

[newfie]

He was, gasp, right wing!

holy crap an asian white supremacist

I think he's talking about the earlier guy who got done in with a sword.
