I don't see how someone can advocate for the 2) given the evidence. For any atrocity Nazi regime has committed there is a similar, if not worse (by some metric), counterpart for Japan. | |
| May 19, 2017 at 13:43 | comment | added | SQB | An additional point may be that Japan has, with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, two pieces of evidence of atrocities committed against Japan, while they have no evidence within Japan of war crimes committed by Japan. | |

| Oct 31, 2014 at 15:31 | comment | added | George Chen | An independent, nuclear and militarily strong Japan will restore Sino-American friendship. As Bertrand Russell prophesied in 1921, the total collapse of Japan would instantly pit China against the United States, which is a misfortune for mankind, because one is the world's leader of civilization, the other is poised to be the legitimate heir. | |

| Jul 17, 2013 at 0:45 | comment | added | dan04 | They invaded Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Romania per the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. | |
| Jul 16, 2013 at 9:50 | comment | added | Anixx | @dan04 prior to Operation Barbarossa the USSR was not participating in WWII. | |
| Jul 15, 2013 at 19:47 | comment | added | dan04 | @Anixx: Prior to Operation Barbarossa, the USSR was very much an aggressor in the war. | |

| Apr 14, 2013 at 18:59 | comment | added | Anixx | There is a serious trend in modern Germany to blame the war not on Nazis but on "totalitarism" in general so to put a share of the guilt on the USSR. I think it is quite similar to what happens in Japan. | |
| Apr 14, 2013 at 8:11 | comment | added | junichiro | FWIW, and though this site is apparently not meant for discussion, I don't think the Japanese view of WW2 is any more skewed than that of people in countries that were on the winning side. The real world does not consist of Good Guys and Bad Guys, but shades of gray. | |
| Apr 14, 2013 at 4:03 | comment | added | Lizz | Consider, also, that the Germans citizens were forced to tour the concentration camps to prevent them from denying what they did. This approach in Japan would not have been practical, given the distance they would have had to travel (China, Korea, etc.) | |

| Apr 14, 2013 at 3:08 | comment | added | Golden Cuy | I was kind of hoping that differing social and cultural histories weren't the cause, for two reasons. 1) It means changing the situation may be more difficult. 2) I feel uncomfortable to say that people from country X are different to people from country Y. However, you thought seriously about this question before answering it. | |
