    So not doing something until being forced into a commitment and then waiting until the last possible moment to Honor that commitment is somehow not feet dragging to you?

      Um… no

      “Curse those lazy Soviets for not immediately starting a two front war after losing 11 million people to the Nazis. Respecting the agreements made at the Yalta conference regarding an invasion of Japan, to the letter, was ACTUALLY mendacious.”

      You realize that after losing 11 million people in a enduring and cataclysmic war, it may take some time to prepare for a war on the totally opposite front?

      I dont even know why I’m engaging with this whitewashing. This isn’t even what the OP is about.

      The fact of the matter is that Japan has not handled the outcome of WWII well at all. Namely the Nanjing Massacre.
