i am not sure if this mad dash to push Russia and China to the point where hypersonic weapons are going to be used is a good idea given that from what we hear about the EU and the USA using their own weapon stockpiles to arm Ukraine only for them to either turn up in Russian hands or blown up, they might not be in the best of positions to do so.
And really, I am also not sure if Japan is capable of thinking properly given that this isn’t the old China that the Japanese basically got away with all the shit they caused in Nanjing, but a nation that has the strength and will to return the favour a million times over. They must seriously think they are more special then any other nation and have their head stuck in a hentai doujin to realise that they could end up being in one if they cannot stop poking China all the time.
Nanjing was like 1/1000 of the total damage Japan caused to China.
Over 20 million Chinese in China alone died from WW2. Hundreds of thousands more if you include the massacres that took place in Singapore, Burma, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
It was literally a war of genocide against the Chinese race. They were poisoning Chinese wells with cholera, doing human experiments on Chinese in Unit 731, burying Chinese alive, using Chinese as dummies for target practice, beheading Chinese toddlers, bayonetting pregnant Chinese women after raping them, and holding contests on who could kill the most Chinese in a given amount of time.
Even in WW1 Japanese soldiers executed ~80 Chinese civilians and seriously maimed hundreds more when they went to war with Germany on Chinese soil. And in the aftermath of the first Sino-Japanese war the IJN massacred an entire Chinese village of 50,000 (Port Arthur Massacre).
