Yes in the sense that they’re such a tiny country with far less resources to build weapons of war, in comparison to the US. However, they’re not so insane in their technical ability. So many technical products today are made by them. So personally I admire that back then they were technically advanced enough to contend with the big boys.

humbling a tiny nation isnt something to be proud of or brag about. much like how we're talking about going to war with afghanistan and iraq. 7th century countries that cant really fight back. that aint a sign of strength. you wanna sell wolf tickets, china is right there. russia is right there. They're ready to buy.

I agree to your post to an extent but Japan was a very REAL and powerful force in the CC WW2 era. That “tiny” country took on the likes of china and Korea

I like the fact that he didn't buy into the cac narrative of race determining intellect, and that blacks would prosper if given equal access to quality education.

And it's that same drive by the Japanese to educate their people that allowed them to build right back up into an economic powerhouse right after having their country bombed into oblivion.

Japan has an extreme shaming culture. If your a "deliquent" you get treated like shyt. The work culture over there is :mindblown:
