For those who care about history In regard to international relations. and how it affects behaviors of citizens. Continue reading. The problem with the west, they're too busy thinking of "dog eating jokes" and "cheap labor", not knowing how things actually work logistically in Asia. Numbers of dog farms are tiny compared to Pigs and Cow farms, dogs don't give enough meat and require too long to birth. Billions of dollars of meth and heroin were coming from Vietnam and Taiwan government (the same government the U.S is trying to protect was selling guns and heroin to kids in USA) and the public didn't know. "Here are some guns and drugs, go kill yourselves". Google this, "Kuomintang KMT, heroin and Golden Triangle". That is Taiwan's government. USA know Taiwan is not trustworthy, and Taiwan openly disliked USA, but they need each other. USA used Taiwan island as military buffer zone, and geo-political bargain chip in world trade and power. In a war, Taiwan knows USA would hide military in civilian spaces, forcing China to bomb innocent people in event of war. Media would be "Communist China bombs innocent civilians".. Let's just say, if Taiwan could press a button and magically take over American land without repercussions, they would take time to consider instead of a quick no. What cause Japan to fight during ww2? 1, the geography of Japan lack natural resources and very little farm land, majority of Japan's food is imported. 2. League of Nations (historic version of UN and World Trade Organization) reduced Japan's economic output by favoring neighboring countries. 3. U.S and Britain cutting resources from Japan. They were running reduced supplies and commodity. Japan joined the Axis. U.S and Britain further cut essentials, raw material and food imports. Allies KNEW it would force Japan to fight or starve. It FORCED Japan to attack China, Philippines, Korea, Malaysia, then Pearl Harbor, USA. It's the old "divide and conquer" technique Britain used for centuries. Learn more about Japan's geography, Why Japan's Geography Sucks - YouTube The public media in America was, "Japan is sneaky with surprise attack on Pearl Harbor"... Ignoring it was planned by USA all along. It made me think, how many people in Asia are still bitter about last century? Children in Japan are, under president Abe. WW1 created WW2, Germans were angry at WW1 and repayment it forced on Germans, banks funded both home team and enemy team, wrongly blamed the whole Jewish population, it was the main reason for Nazi to win the public vote. Hitler himself was 25% Jewish, his book Mein Kampf was full of anger at WW1, bankers, and "genetically weak people" who let Prussia down.. 11 million people executed, 6 million were Jewish, remaining 5 million were mostly ethnic Germans of weak genetics. He was motivated by Fredrich Nietzsche idea of "ubermensch" or "superman" in English. If you think Hitler was a monster, no, he was a normal human being with bad combination and circumstances. 1, both his parents died with no stable upbringing with constant fear of poverty, he had to learn manipulation to survive. 2, he has strong national pride. 3, resentment for ww1 and payment to "allied countries". 4, ideas motivated by Fredrich Nietzsche who was a very popular philosopher and top ranked professor. Sigmund Freud was also influenced by Nietzche, just not the same way. He served during ww1, before his Nazis ideas formed. Watch out for Japan's youth, they don't believe Japan did anything wrong during ww2, 50% (all ages) of Japanese citizens believe western countries is restricting Japan's economic growth, they often look at American products and services and think, "we could do better", "World Trade Organization let Korea take over Japan's TV industry, let Korea lead flash memory and computer RAM". Google "Gulf of Tonkin incident" and you'd know why Vietnamese immigrants brought guns, drugs and gangs to America. It was background resentment that U.S GI brought more deaths than necessary since it wasn't America's home, more riflemen skirmish than necessary, more years fought than needed.. Agent Orange chemicals not only affected farms feeding communist military, but also civilians on both communist and democracy sides. If democracy won, U.S would meddle in every election affecting Vietnamese citizens daily life for benefit of America. They were thankful for refugee status, but still resentful for that fact. Any racial treatment and slights sting them harder than it would a french or british immigrant family. It's not a America's Republican vs America's Democrat issue, both parties would meddle elections in a democratic Vietnam.. Maybe the Vietnamese rep makers has some resentment hidden in prices.
