Well is kinda the traditional way, but I guess outsiders probably find it "gross", and would prefer cultural homogenization

Everyone rightfully feels sympathy for the victims of the A-bombs, but their sacrifice saved the lives of millions of other Japanese. Imperial Japan would not have surrendered without the dropping of the A-bombs. Children and women were being prepared to be used as cannon fodder for the Imperial Japanese Army.
That's arguable, some historians disagree with that theory and "Their sacrifice" is absurd view of reality, they didn't volunteer for being bombed.

While the naive and obedient Japaneses are busy following the doctrine of Abe, propagandized by some Japanese media such as Sankei and Yahoo Japan, this clearly shows that S. Koreans can defy the government and the government will kneel down. Was there any single case in the Japanese history that ordinary people defied the Japanese government who subsequently succumbed?
What a wonderful Utopia is Korea, wonder how those Japanese people cope with their existence./s

Going from 0-100 escalation, diplomacy is not the preferred method of engagement I assume. This issue developed quite rapidly.
I guess politicians need to save face, so no room for negotiation.

All liberals care about unfairness to “people of color”.
But let Trump try to help one, they want him to stay locked up, fairness out the window.
Unfairness as in systemic racism, not just help someone out of jail because he/she is a celebrity that happens to be "of color". Trump should respect the legal system of other countries.
