we should care what events the Japanese and their government plan, because in the history of their affairs we see a certain pattern emerging or maybe being concealed. a pattern of domination by any means. the question is: do these events offer proof that there exists a historic Japanese struggle for ultimate supremacy, or are these statements just fabrications?

Since you give no source for any of the comments, and make numerous factual errors, I must conclude that your points are little more than a collection of dramatized anti-Japanese statements which, given the history of close relations between the US and Japan since the end of the war, are of little significance.

the close history of America and Japan was not coincidental, but was enacted to control Japanese aggression. this relation, as it seems, was not mutually beneficial, and benefited Japan and increased its prosperity, while witnessing, if not contributing, to the decline of its proponent.

the Japanese economic success story was solely due to the heavy American military operation of rebuilding Japan and creating a militaristic corporate culture, which would adopt American technology and science. This military operation debased American industry, which was being subjected to opposing industrial standards.

Under U.S. rule: the occupation of Japan; after World War II, American forces set out to rebuild a shattered, defeated nation New York Times Upfront - Find Articles

the above facts are common knowledge and can be referenced through wikipedia.org

Or, in other words: we used them when we needed them, and they used us when they needed us. Big deal. It's called life.

since it is all fair game, and we are all just using each other, in that case, you can justify the killing of Americans in WW2, the stealing of our technology and resources. they probably needed our land, resources, technological genius and prowess, more than we did.

the fact is: we did not use them, they had little to no contribution on the development of much including technology, but that doesnt stop them from their mongol inhibitions.

i wonder if the Japanese would have succeeded in annihilating the US, would we be subjected with the same compassion and dignity? would they rebuild our destroyed towns, cities, industry and civilization? would they sacrifice and stagnate their development by concentrating the resources and technological genius?

Japan's militaristic and imperialisitc government needed its butt kicked, and we did the kicking.

"Mongol"? Good Lord, Mary. It's the Yellow Peril!
