Many silly
Asians are trumpeting the goodness of the Japanese in the last 70 years of
peace and stability in the region. Yes, after their invasion of Asia with the
wild ambition of ruling Asia by brute force and cruelties failed and defeated
by the Americans, and with the badly hurt Americans out to avenge the sneaky
attack on Pearl Harbour, the Japanese war demon was bottled up and kept under
lock and key. The Japanese were not given a chance to be their evil self again.
The constitution was forcefully changed to a pacifist one, denouncing wars and
forbidden to go to war. And to make sure it stayed that way, the Americans sat
on Japan like a semi colony. American forces are still in many bases in Japan,
outwardly to counter China and North Korea, but at the same time keeping a
check on Japanese ambition. Japan would not be allowed to do mischief again
without the approval of the Americans.
And the
world has peace for 70 years. And Asia and South East Asia have peace as well.
Without a sword, the Japanese went around in briefcases and business suits to
woo the Asians for trade and commerce. These are the activities they were
allowed to engage in. The peaceful Japanese were an enforced animal. They
swallowed their pride and arrogance, hid their aggressive and belligerent
nature and bowed and bowed all the way. Such nice and polite people cannot be
war criminals. Many Asians today could believe that the Japanese were so
barbaric and depraved during the war years. What is the true nature of the
Japanese if the forceful hands of the Americans were removed? What is a true
Japanese?
Historically
the Japanese were a martial people, starting with piracies and attacking
Koreans and Chinese merchant ships, they went further to conquer and to
colonize Korea and semi conquered China. South East Asia was invaded and
conquered and colonized in the same brutal way. The Japanese would attack a
country when that country was seen as weak. They were so vile and wild as to
think of conquering China and Asia. They succeeded and almost ruled China by
force as their colony. And when they became the colonial masters, they were
cruel and harsh, forget about the Hollywood romanticing of samurai honour. The
Koreans lived under the rule of the Japanese for several decades like slaves.
China lost millions in the invasion by the Japanese, and so were the South East
Asians.
The pre war
Japanese believed in power and being the aggressor when they were more powerful
than their neighbours. They still believe in the Sun God and their destiny to
rule the world. They were very nice, very polite, very peaceful, very gentlemen
in the last 70 years not out of free choice, not by nature. Their hands were
tied by the Americans.
Today, with
the American Empire being challenged by a rising China, the Americans find it
expedient to unleash the Japanese butcher to stop the rise of China. The
Japanese are allowed to remilitarize with the consent and encouragement of the
Americans. The last few years, and recently, the ugly Japanese are revealing
themselves again, banging their chest and showing the middle finger to China.
They wanted the right to engage and conduct wars. They have torn their pacifist
Constitutions to bits. The public protest is only a minority, and done for public
relations purposes. The majority of the Japanese wants to return to militarism,
imperialism and a powerful Japan that can go to war. The passing of the bill to
have the right to go to war is testimony to the real intent and nature of the
Japanese, the real Japanese behind the mask of civility.
Without the
Americans sitting on them, instead giving them the green light to become a
military power, to conduct wars, Japan has come full circle, to be its militant
and aggressive self once more. Asia and the world should brace themselves up
for an aggressive Japan to create havoc and war. Yes, the rise of an aggressive
and belligerent nation to be a global power, in Japan, will not be peaceful. It
is building up its war arsenal like it did before the Second World War. The
process of Japan’s rearmament and remilitarization is in full steam.
The
Americans said yes, the western powers were muted, the silly Asians and South
East Asians cannot remember the brute Imperial Japanese Army and the beheading
of people and the colonizing of their countries. They only remember a falsified
face of Japan in the last 70 years as a defeated invading country. They are
going to live with the beast in their homes thinking that it is a nice
domesticated pet.
Do they want
to know the real Japanese? Do they want to read their histories again to
understand what the real Japanese were like if not shackled?
