USA is a danger for Japanese culture. I think they should protect more themselves against the USA and be more independent. I have a question for all of you. Why are you not able to talk about another country without talking about war? We all know that the US have the biggest army. They could win against any country (except if all the countries attack them at the same time). The American army is too much dispersed. They should get out of outside countries and make their own business.

The problem is that Japan has no means to protect itself against massive asymmetric (special forces) attacks. Its very small army is widely dispersed. Thus, in wartime, Japan has to rely on Korea.

There was no room that bought the United States article in Japan after the bubble had collapsed. Japan was busy with disposition of bank nonperforming loans. It made our economic damage a minimum.

What is it thought the world economy to become it in 10 years?

As for Japan, economy was undervalued by depreciation of the yen.

It is returning to the origin.

The only "true" Americans are the Native American Indians were were massacred and killed by white European settlers.You stated Obama was a "decline", did you mean because he is biracial ? The majority of the world welcomed his election victory.

xxwzaebd, Japan's financial crisis in 90's was engineered by the people you call real Americans and they knew that they would be a greater return to their investment capital if it moved to communist China. Japan will never be able to overtake China because it has a mixed economy and thats the advantage of Marxism.

Our economy rose from the world's poorest country to a First World economy within 4 decades; this was only possible while fighting against marxism. But the Westerners put enormous pressure NOT to fight against marxism. Finally, they forced the financial system open. Now leftism has grown like a final stage cancer to a point that hardly anything can be done any more while the conservative front has become weaker and weaker.

I think the crucial mistake you, and others like you make, is that believing in racial differences necessarily means you hate or seek to oppress and exploit them. I have disdain for colonialism and exploitation. Have you ever watched 'Star Trek'? I like the concept of the 'Prime Directive'.

But what is the point of East Asians weakening themselves for Western-Jewish-Rothschild parasites?

It is absolutely stunning - and a wonderful example of human stupidity - that one trumpets both evolution and biological equality.

So, what you're telling us is, there is no difference in intellectual capacity between Japanese - and Australian Aboriginals? Thanks for enlightening us all.
