Anglo-Americans including the Roosevelt family have made tremendous profits off of opium from Chinese labor and any another non-white country too. the unexpected moment came by a force to be reckoned with that the West never seen before of a non-white country fighting the West on equal grounds like Japan that was closing down the opium/slave markets all over Asia that made Anglo-Americans including FDR very angry. i will assume that that's one of the other reasons why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Japan was out for revenge for Anglo-Americans secretly getting involved in Far East Asian affairs starting with the Chinese who kowtow to the opium monopoly since Chinese were already addicted to it for a long time.

The man in charge of that (successful) campaign was General Homma who was executed as a war criminal in 46. Thing was, it was a totally unjust trial and General Homma (who had fought with the BEF in WW1) was actually forced to retire for being too lenient on the Filipinos and American prisoners. The same happened to the conqueror of Malysia and Singapore, General Yamashita, who had his own men executed who committed atrocities. He was a good man but was killed as a war criminal when it was over. It looks less like an attempt at justice so much as retribution against those generals who won major victories against the Allies.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-67124471228365733332013-12-11T18:56:29.876-06:002013-12-11T18:56:29.876-06:00History is written by the victors.

Many Japanese officers who weren't guilty of any war crimes were put to death while Soviet war crimes, of which there are too many to list here, were politely ignored. The fact that Soviet Judges presided over the Nuremberg trials only goes to show that the Allies were interested only in victory, not true justice. The deaths of millions of Poles, Cossacks, Ukrainians, Germans, Finns, Russians, Czechs and others were simply forgotten. The whole war was an ugly affair any way you slice it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774194632030946890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-5160042373903148372013-12-11T17:35:11.566-06:002013-12-11T17:35:11.566-06:00The more I have studied, the more I have found Jap...The more I have studied, the more I have found Japan is actually guilty of less and less. There were abuses carried out by low level officers, many of whom were punished by their own superiors, against orders and which was not official policy. Going through the cases of the "war criminals", especially in the major figures, one after another their trials were complete mockeries of justice with even American legal experts denouncing them. Moreover, the Japanese (and Manchus) who were massacred in Manchuria before the war is rarely brought up, which helped provoke the Japanese occupation of Manchuria in the early 30's. The republicans killed far more people compared to Japan even if one believes the numbers put out by the Chinese (which are hugely exaggerated) and also discounted are the large numbers of Chinese (and Koreans and Manchus and Mongols etc) who fought for Japan because they believed they were the best side and did not want communism to rule East Asia.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-50180752567812168192013-12-11T16:58:53.908-06:002013-12-11T16:58:53.908-06:00Without a doubt, much of Japan's actions in As...Without a doubt, much of Japan's actions in Asia during the war are simply inexcusable. However, far more Chinese were killed other Chinese than by Japanese in the twentieth century, and the same goes for Korea. Japan was responsible for around 6 million deaths, according to R.J. Rummel, out of a population of 379 million. Chiang Kai-shek was responsible for 10 million Chinese deaths, and Mao for between 50-70 million. It's difficult to see how the spread of Communism into China, Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia was preferable to Japanese rule. It's also important to remember that the Allies certainly have blood on their hands as well. None of this is meant to overlook Japan's actions during the war mind you, simply to put them into perspective.

However, as I have written about previously (http://madmonarchist.blogspot.com/2011/12/off-topic-tuesday-rape-of-nanking.html) I have my doubts and the more I have read about since then has only caused those doubts to increase dramatically, particularly in the vast number of photos, presented as "evidence" which have been proven to be fakes. <br />3) Whatever happened in Nanking had nothing to do with the United States. The U.S. never took any action on the grounds of what Japanese troops did in the field just as the U.S. did not go to war against Nazi Germany because of the mistreatment of Jews.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-11771961544828094032013-12-09T20:00:55.323-06:002013-12-09T20:00:55.323-06:00How would you justify the actions of the Empire of...How would you justify the actions of the Empire of Japan when it comes to something like, say, the Rape of Nanking?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148584087910957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-16723045857665410182013-12-07T20:56:28.001-06:002013-12-07T20:56:28.001-06:00Excellent.Excellent.Eleknarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417303535710997650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-33476178009265624982013-12-07T15:04:19.522-06:002013-12-07T15:04:19.522-06:00I would like to see the day the imperial armed for...I would like to see the day the imperial armed forces are all restored and American troops are no longer necessary. As for right now though, Japan needs allies and with Russia, China and both Koreas hostile or at least unfriendly toward Japan, such allies need to stick together. First thing to do would be to tackle Article 9 and start moving toward the point where Japan can defend itself from any danger.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-62461341978081083872013-12-07T14:57:05.290-06:002013-12-07T14:57:05.290-06:00Bravo Good Sir!
