Funny, that's not the opinion of the Japanese back then.

Yes, the vast nation of Japan with a broken economy was in the same strategic position as the USSR. It's not like it was an island.  In addition to which if the USA did decide to attack the USSR. it didn't have any atom bombs left. By the time the US came up with them, Western Europe could have been overrun. You also don't seem aware that in Western Europe the USSR was considered heroic. Not only that, but communist and socialist movement were very strong. I'm sure the US army would have loved having an angry and resentful populace at its back.

You mean our discussions in this forum are actually going to have a material effect on the Korean situation if we just focus them properly.  Mom is going to be so proud of the important role I'm about to play in world affairs.

What is the topic?  Anyway, read this.
