When the recent flames resumed over Dokdo, you didn't see the usual group of Japanese-Americans in k-town for a while. And who could blame them - they were openly made unwelcome.

But even the nationalistic rivalry between these two doesn't compare with what I see between the two of them versus the Chinese.
That is a problem on a whole other level.

This is an issue.

South Korea currently has politicians "closely affiliated" with Japanese politicians. Thanks to the American military government in the late 1940s "freed" the Japanese collaborators in South Korea, and a significant minority of them are still connected to the Japanese government via capital and influences today.

(Greatest example, the current controversial South Korean president, LMB, is de facto considered to be Japanese citizen than a South Korean citizen in many public impressions. Technically he is the first "Japanese president" in South Korea who wants to bring back the pseudo-Japanese colonial rule like a wet dream)

While Japan still maintains the very same political elites before the end of WWII. And the American government has illegally contributed a small portion of Japanese politicians that has always been undemocratically dictator-like.

We should blame the American and the Britsh (Commonwealth) government(s) for esclating more strifes between the two countries right after WWII. Sad, very sad.

Whatever happens, tensions certainly are increasing and It's not good.

Was speaking to my partners oma on the phone tonight and she lives near the border in the South..

We certainly have a spare room here in Australia on stand-by!


Cheers - Oz

I heard that North Korea is getting closer and closer to nuclear war with other countries. It's getting worse.

Interesting since you mentioned near the border in the South in the same post, meaning that your word for tensions is referring to the North Korea-related issues. I didn't talk about North Korea in my previous post.

I have to say is that the current South Korean "regime" is as evil as North Korea's.

Ozkai, please don't degrade yourself and stop considering me as an enemy. I don't see any reason why.

Like you said before to me in the PM: You obviously enjoy imposing what you believe in on me and then summarizing what I am.

No more discussion.


(forgive me, but this has to be mentioned.)

I'm afraid you have lost me.

What makes you think my post is related to you as an "enemy"?

I would suggest that you add me to your ignore list as you seem to be a little over paranoid.

Could you at least tell me why the sentence in your post refers to North Korea? You are the first person to bring up issues about North Korea indirectly after we had a small argument several weeks ago in this thread, not me.

I didn't assume you as an enemy. I tried to find reasons why you are so angry about me.

I think you are very paranoid about me because right after you said: You obviously enjoy imposing what you believe in on me and then summarizing what I am.

No more discussion.


and afterwards, you started ignoring me or indirectly taunting me for several weeks. Now, that's a very paranoid-ish action, isn't it?

Please don't do any stuffs that harm yourself.

By the way, you saying something like "then put me on the ignore list" is a gesture that you don't care about yourself?

In my opinion Japan needs to work to together with South Korea to defend western civilization,capitalism from the repressive communist hellhole of North Korea which is just as repressive as Iran.

With your rosy dream, there is one problem: South Korean government is acting more evil than North Korea.
