The Japanese committed horrific atrocities in Korea and Thailand during WW2. Go to the war museums in Korea and Thailand and see for yourself. Japan absolutely needed to be defeated in WW2.
However, today's Japan is a world apart from the Japan of WW2.
The Japanese fought against communism in WW2 also.
No.
If they had, they would have supported Chiang Kai-shek by opposing the Soviets and their tool, Mao.
Yes, the Japanese Empire in Manchuria fought border wars against the Soviets, but they attacked Chiang's Nationalists at the same time. Finally, they signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviets (April 1941) just before turning their troops south to attack the Dutch East Indies, Pearl Harbor, and the Philippines.
This pact allowed Stalin to bring Marshal Zhukov from Siberia to lead the Red Army against... Operation Barbarossa.
(And remember, the Soviets fought border wars with Communist China in 1969.)
The Nazis and the Imperial Japanese did nothing for the West.
*less than half, way less than half. We know it was stolen
Less than half. By a lot.
They fought against anything that wasn't Japanese.
So they're the honey badgers of humans?
