I take it you know very little about the history of Japan, its exploits, and what lead it to an attack US territory.
Mike_Rupp said:I should known someone would find fault with the global ambitions statement. Whatever you want to call it, Japan had ambitions. My point was that when Japan decided to attack, they didn't saber rattle. They just launched an attack. I have no idea what motivates the leadership of North Korea, but I doubt that they want to go to war.
The global part was the only thing I disagreed with, as they were only focused on building the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, not the whole world. Otherwise I completely agree with your point, Japan didn't really saber rattle, they just went in and did the deed.
Why/how North Korean leadership believes saber rattling, or all out war if it happens, will bring prosperity to their nation is beyond me.
