The absolute reverse is true.
Like when the U.S. was pressuring Japan to cut relation with China after the Tienanmen Squire incident? That means U.S. is not our friend either.
Japan and China had no strong ties to cut during the Tienanmen event, so this is not true.
If Spain cuts back on Japanese imports, it doesn't cause a recession. With the U.S., it can.
Spain is currently in a much worse economic situation than America. Many Japanese products are manufactured in America, and in some cases American production of Japanese goods is greater than Japanese production. Stopping Japanese imports would not harm America in the least
I'd prefer a grass-roots movement but if not, laws need to be written. All countries write laws and have agreements about import/export to safeguard their respective economies. Put a 100% tariff on those GUCCI , louis vuitton, and Coach stuff. They make a $50 handbag and sell it for $500 and the stupid girls in Japan buy 5 ~20 each, then there's the clothing, jewelry, makeup, accessories etc... Anyone still wonders why Japan is still in a recession?
Japanese retailers make far more money off a Gucci bag than Gucci does. Retail is typically 550% of cost, in case you haven't studied retail economics, and in the case of foreign luxury goods imported to Japan, the mark-up is usually 700%, all of which stays in Japan.
That's backwards, they have aggression towards us because we side with the U.S. and provide U.S. presence in the heart of Asia. It's the same reason the U.S. has such strong feelings against a tiny country called Cuba. Cuba is a few miles from Florida and sided with the Russians. Ever heard of the Cuban missile Crisis? id you think U.S. hated Cuba just because of Castro?

America is not and has not been afraid of Cuba, America was afraid of the spread of a misguided ideology that has lead the deaths of countless millions of people. The Cuban missile crisis happened not long after Stalin's purges, and just before Chin's "Cultural Revolution". America was not wrong to fight this ideological disease and prevent it's spread.
