The Japanese deserved what they got., page-70

@Wanganella; what the West did to China is without parallel in history and after what Perry did to Japan in 1893 it inspired Japan to resurrect its wars from the past against China but with a whole new generation of western style weapons and military strategy.

Due to the West's decimation and corruption of China throughout much of the Nineteenth Century; by the 1930s it had been reduced to a poverty stricken, agrarian, religiously violated and opium ravaged peasant society. The West had made it easy pickings for a Japanese Emperor who showed no mercy and an insatiable lust for blood.

America's exoneration of Hirohito for the countless tens of millions of people slaughtered in his name is without precedent in modern history and has never been explained - not that 'chosen ones' are ever held to account!
