Answer my question

Nobody gives me orders, chum.

Taiwan? What was Taiwan in the 1940s?

As for Japan vs. Korea, go and look in a history book.

Whatever.

Formosa, Queen of Semantics.

I did. There is no evidence of Koreans, Taiwanese (Formosans for the anal retentive) or Mongolians butchering, raping or subjugating Japanese civilians. If you had a link you probably would have posted it now from the corner you painted yourself into as a Japanese war crimes apologist.

Sure. As soon as I find one I'll send it over to you in the Two Wrongs Make A Right corner.

My point is only that the quarrel between China and Japan is a very old one, and the Japanese had also been beating up on the Koreans for a very long time. No moral defence of Japanese awfulness is being presented, only the statement that U.S. foreign policy at the time turned the latest chapter in an old saga to contemporary advantage. Leaving the Japanese with no option but to attack the Allies.
