Japanese Researcher Wants America To “Apologize” For Bombing Them

[Mister Terrific]

Not really.

US was fighting a proxy via China. Sending them money and munitions…that were used to attack Japan.

Japan didn’t just fukking attack out of nowhere.

Edit:

“Foreign aid began to flow to China as Japan stalled. Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin saw a victorious Japan as such a threat to the USSR that he supplied arms to the Chinese nationalists, despite their battles with the communists. In 1940 and 1941, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt extended credits to China to purchase military supplies and included the country in the Lend-Lease program. In August 1941, the United States further hampered Japan’s ability to fight in China by halting its trade of aircraft, oil and scrap metal, an embargo that was among the reasons why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.”

The U.S. wasn’t fighting a “proxy” war in China.

The Japanese illegally invaded China in order to take advantage of the civil war going on

The Chinese fought back harder than the Japanese thought they would so they started genocide the population

Three Alls policy - Wikipedia

In a study published in 1996, historian Mitsuyoshi Himeta claims that the Three Alls policy, sanctioned by Emperor Hirohito himself, was both directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of "more than 2.7 million" Chinese civilians.[8]


This appalled most of humanity even the Nazis and the U.S. instituted an oil embargo to force Japan to a negotiated peace.

and the U.S. engaged in negotiations in 1941 in an effort to improve relations. During the negotiations, Japan considered withdrawal from most of China and Indochina after it had drawn up peace terms with the Chinese. Japan would also adopt an independent interpretation of the Tripartite Pact and would not discriminate in trade if all other countries reciprocated. However, War Minister General Hideki Tojo rejected compromises in China.[12] Responding to Japanese occupation of key airfields in Indochina (July 24) after an agreement between Japan and Vichy France, the U.S. froze Japanese assets on July 26, 1941, and on August 1, it established an embargo on oil and gasoline exports to Japan.[13][14][15] The oil embargo was an especially strong response because oil was Japan's most crucial import, and more than 80% of Japan's oil came from the United States.[16]

Saying the U.S. sent arms to China to attack Japan is hilariously wrong. Japan attacked China, multiple nations including the League of Nations placed sanctions on Japan for an illegal war. Japan escalated the conflict at every turn until the fukked around and found out.

I'm not defending imperial Japan. We didn't nuke imperial Japan because of what they did to other countries. We did it, for many reasons, but one was because what they did to our military base. If you think civilians should be massacred because of what their military does, then I don't see an issue with 9/11

Literally every major power was bombing civilian populations and the US was the only one who was suppose to take the high road, send our men to invade a country of lunatics who would die for their emperor? Fck outta here.

As the renowned American philosopher Pooh Shiesty said Japan want an apology come get it back in blood

The usa is not on the side of humanity. So of course the government wont apologize.

Apologize for what? Ending this?


Thousands of men, women, children, and infants interned at prisoner of war camps were subjected to vivisection, often performed without anesthesiaand usually lethal.[28][29] In a video interview, former Unit 731 member Okawa Fukumatsu admitted to having vivisected a pregnant woman.[30] Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Researchers performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body.[31]

Prisoners had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss. Limbs removed were sometimes reattached to the opposite side of victims' bodies. Some prisoners had their stomachs surgically removed and their esophagus reattached to the intestines. Parts of organs, such as the brain, lungs, and liver, were removed from others.[29]Imperial Japanese Army surgeon Ken Yuasasuggests that practising vivisection on human subjects was widespread even outside Unit 731,[32]estimating that at least 1,000 Japanese personnel were involved in the practice in mainland China.[33]Yuasa said that when he performed vivisections on captives, they were "all for practice rather than for research," and that such practises were "routine" among Japanese doctors stationed in China during the war.[22]

The New York Times interviewed a former member of Unit 731. Insisting on anonymity, the former Japanese medical assistant recounted his first experience in vivisecting a live human being, who had been deliberately infected with the plague, for the purpose of developing "plague bombs" for war.

"The fellow knew that it was over for him, and so he didn't struggle when they led him into the room and tied him down, but when I picked up the scalpel, that's when he began screaming. I cut him open from the chest to the stomach, and he screamed terribly, and his face was all twisted in agony. He made this unimaginable sound, he was screaming so horribly. But then finally he stopped. This was all in a day's work for the surgeons, but it really left an impression on me because it was my first time."[34]

Other sources suggest that it was the usual practice in the Unit for surgeons to stuff a rag (or medical gauze) into the mouth of prisoners before commencing vivisection in order to stifle any screaming.[35]

edit: this is from literally right above that part

Within weeks, the technologically superior Japanese forces seized Beijing. They captured the commercial hub of Shanghai in November 1937, but the fierce battle it required made it clear that China intended to mount a resolute defense.

The Imperial Japanese Army responded to the Chinese resistance with increasingly brutal atrocities, the most notorious of which occurred after it entered the Chinese nationalist capital of Nanjing (or Nanking) in December 1937. Over a six-week span, the Japanese military massacred between 200,000 and 300,000 soldiers and civilians and sexually assaulted tens of thousands of women.

As Japan pressed south and west in 1938, a Chinese defeat seemed inevitable. “They have no allies, they have no arms and they have retreated to the interior of China,” says Rana Mitter, author of Forgotten Ally: China’s World War II, 1937-1945. “Both the Chinese nationalists and the communists are on the run.”

The war, however, increasingly turned into a stalemate as Japanese forces made little progress beyond the port cities and urban areas south of Beijing. The communists in north-central China waged a guerilla war against the Japanese in Manchuria and north China, and the fragile truce with the nationalists held.

"used to attack japan" is wild

Neither was Japan at the time, they deserved those bombs.

In 2015 Japan made a formal apology to the few surviving South Korean women used for Japanese Brothels during WWII. They were called "Comfort Women". Many were forced into prostitution for the Occupying Japanese forces. Japan set aside $8 million in reparations, but South Koreans don't think Japan did enough.

Providing China support to defend themselves from Japanese invaders is not the same as fighting a proxy war.

That would be like saying the U.S. was fighting a proxy war against Germany because we were also sending support to the UK.


You act like Japan was justified in their actions in China.
