    Also, I don't see why Japan would feel the need to make WWII war crime apologia to a western audience. The west has largely forgotten about Japan's crimes against China, Korea, and the Soviets, and I don't think that's because our leaders are weebs. It's because the west largely doesn't care about what happens to communists and non-white people.

      Yeah. Japan was a functioning country again by the mid-1950's. They were never made to apologize like Germany was. Lots of people in the west don't even know about their current problems, let alone past offenses.

      its because our leaders rehabilitated and armed japanese right-wingers again just like in western germany.
