Without a military to maintain, an abundance of wealth and no need to worry about their national security thanks to their new guard dogs, Japan could focus on development which is why they've advanced so far now. And their anime? lol, America has cartoons as well. What's so weird about that? It just so happens that anime became so popular overseas, that the industry flourished.

That’s because after their actions in WW2 they realized that their hopes of expansion were just impossible. They also realized that they caused a lot of unnecessary bloodshed. They’re a small island nation that are surrounded by superpowers and superpower controlled territories. So instead of putting all their efforts into military expansion and technology, they put it into public technology. That’s why today, they have crazy cool technology. Here in the US I think the military is about 10-15 years ahead of the general public. I can be wrong on that number. I’ve heard it being even near 20-30 years ahead. Things like Face ID and fingerprint scanning or drones. Today that’s a common thing on devices and go into any electronic store and you’ll see tons of drones. There’s testimony of people saying the government had that technology in the 60’s and 70’s.

Amazing to think this battleship was still used in combat almost 50 years later in Desert Storm.

Truly grateful to have these moments on film for many generations to see including ours.

Apparently during the 2008 financial crisis. When the Banks and AIG were about to go under. The Russians came to the Japanese with a proposition. Both owned very large stakes in AIG. The Russians asked the Japanese if they would agree to dump all their shares in AIG simultaneously. It would have been the final nail in AIGs coffin. This would likely have caused a total economic collapse. The effects would have been absolute chaos and anarchy around the globe. But, the Japanese politely told them no. Crazy how things change. Japan was given a second chance to essentially start a world war. Along side Russia and China to wreak havoc on the US. And yet they declined. Glad to have you on our side Japan! Thank you and God bless.

Oh boy, here we go.

Going to Hawaii and standing on the very spot this happened on the USS Missouri was an incredible experience. To know where you stand is where the end to so much conflict and death was put to an end...hard to describe in words

In high school my best friend was a Japanese foreign exchange student and it was horrifying to realize that 70 years earlier, instead of being friends, we would have been fighting each other on a battlefield. Thank God we liberated Japan and Japan is what it is today, a world class power by its better angels and nature instead of military fascism.

When in Honolulu at Pearl Harbor, I took the tour of the Missouri and sat in the same chair that some of those great Generals & Admirals sat in awaiting the Japanese contingent to arrive for the peace treaty signing. Awesome place to visit.

In July of 2000 I have stood on that very spot on the deck of the USS Missouri, a moment in my life I will never forget!

My Grandfather was 4th in "ITALY FIGHTING MUSSOLINI'S REGIME" He was sent to POLAND as a "POW" after he had been arrested and interrogated to find out if he was Jewish they also wanted to know which SYNAGOGUES he Worshipped at. My Grandfather kept on telling them he was a Catholic and thats when he was sent out to Poland. He was "LIBERATED" by the USA MILITARY. I WILL ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH GRATITUDE AND RESPECT FOR ALL THE UNITED STATES MILITARY FORCES BECAUSE THEY WERE THE ONES WHO LIBERATED MY GRANDFATHER AND THEN HE WENT HOME AND MET MY NANNA WHO WAS A FANTASTIC AND PROUD GLASGOW WOMAN FROM PARKHEAD. And now I'm 40 now and have a 9yr old girl who is ABSOLUTELY beautiful and I love her so much. Everything I have today is because "THE UNITED STATES MILITARY LIBERATED MY GRANDFATHER" WE LOVE YOU AMERICA. RYAN O'DONNELL, GLASGOW SCOTLAND.... 🇺🇸❤️❤️🇺🇸 🍀🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀 😎🍀🍀🍀🍀😎
