Mizuho Bank must have rocks in their head. When they lose their money they will demand a bailout from the government.

Comrade BessonovYan, they did not issue an ultimate or issue a declaration of war prior to hostilities. The Americans called Japan doing this "unforgivable", why does Russia not get held to the same standard?

Comrade Spidapig24, Japan was trying to surrender through Russia. As per your words the non aggression pact expired in 1946. So Russia broke the treaty and there is no getting around it. So Comrade why would Russia honor any new treaties? Their track record stinks, breaking every treaty they signed with Japan.

It was a long time ago, people were different back then. Well a lot of people have changed with time. vg866, you miss my point. If successor governments throw away previous government agreements, it makes agreements they sign worthless. So how much of the 1965 agreement is being throw away? Just the parts the current government does not like cherry picking only what they want? Who said Japan is a victim? The women were compensated but the South Korean government stole the money. The South Korean government is obligated as the successor government for the debts of the previous governments. Otherwise the current Japanese government would of not been liable for the empire since they took power by force. However the Japanese government negotiated with the victim governments and paid compensation to them as is right and proper. It is then the job of the governments to pay the victims.

Suppose it must not be nice to work in those factories. We only hear one side of the story. Using people as expendable resources is not right.

Spidapig24, it does matters not that they were Korean or Japanese. The agreement was signed with the legal government of South Korea. There is no need for more talks it is a done thing. Racists, you do not know a thing. Am not a "yamato" person and from Okinawa. Our culture is not Japanese, not at all like it. We have a common language, Japanese but it was forced upon us. My teacher use to smack us when speaking our native language. I do not defend what the Japanese did but again the Republic of Korea signed an agreement to accept damages from Japan and drop all new claims. Thus I consider it finished, no new claims can be filed.

vg866, it was the legal government of Korea at the time. A government recognized by the majority of the governments in the world. Throwing away agreements by previous governments makes agreements pointless. Why should Japan make any agreements with the current Korean government when they are likely not to be honored by a successor government? Do you see how self defeating your argument is to negotiating with Korea? Oh FYI the Japanese government set up "comfort" stations for the Americans when they occupied Japan. They did not care about the women and it made no difference what ethic group they belonged. I do not for a moment that the Empire was innocent but this was settled government to government and I do not want my tax money to go into an endless black hole of compensation.

Spidapig24, Korea got off easy in the war and became independent from Japan. Then the Russians started a civil war. As for being part of Japan, it is often used against the gentle people of Okinawa but somehow Koreans are different. So I am just using your argument against you. In any event the people of Korea were treated a lot better than the people of Okinawa. We lost a third of our population something that did not happen in Korea. The Okinawa people were mistreated by both the Americans and Japanese. Again I was using your argument against you. In any case it was the Japanese ancestors and they settled with the legal government of Korea at the time.

Looks like the workers have made themselves unemployed. I am not sure why they sabotaged the cars on the line but they will pay the price. Suzuki should just pull out and close their plants.

Asagao, problem where is the proof? Being rich and powerful does not mean guilty. So she brings charges against him 8 years after the fact. Guess I hang out with too many Americans, there needs to be proof beyond a reasonable doubt. He has paid for being STUPID, losing his position of power and all hopes of political office. It should be left at such, this looks like political payback of some sort. Is he innocent, I doubt that he is innocent but there needs to be proof of guilt.

sfjp330, so why is China building up their military? Do they want a piece of Siberia laden with raw materials including oil and gas? Do they want to punish Japan for a private shrine? Do they want to take over waters that never belonged to them? Do they want to take over Taiwan? I would say all of the above since there is no credible military threat to China. The only exception is Russia who fears a strong China. There are so few Russians in Siberia and so many Chinese. Japan is not a threat to either country with no offensive capacity. So why is China increasing its military spending?

BessonovYan, you have it backwards Japan needs revenge for the Russian attack of 1945. It was unprovoked and a "sneak attack" upon the Japanese nation. There will never be peace until Russia gives back what it stole. никогда Russia of today is the same country that shot down Korean Airlines Flight 007 and over what is Japanese territory. No камрад as long as Russia holds our land there will be no peace. отсутствие северных территорий отсутствие мира

So this means the factories 1300 employees are out of a job? Nice about the Japanese Red Cross but that is not going to feed the families of the plants employees. I read something about mid 2012, that is a long time to "retool"

Raymasaki, North Korea is not Japans problem and we should drop our claim to the rocks. It should be a brief boring meeting and nothing will get done as usual.

Spidapig24, Korea was part of Japan at the time. There will be no compensation paid. Their is no legal reason to pay them. They need to ask the Korean Government for the money.

Tovarish troyinjapan, the Russians have never been very good troops. They beat the Germans by numbers and by mass casualties. This will not work with the Chinese. I do not want war but it is not Japans decision. About getting nuked how would it benefit China or Russia? It would sure piss off the Americans and provide nothing in return. Unemployment for the Chinese as they would be cut off from the rest of the world. Russia, am not sure how many of their SS-18s still can fly. I see the Chinese buildup as a threat to Russia. Then again the Chinese are patient and I understand them better than Russians. Maybe the Chinese will not need to use force at all.

India has nukes as well, will not be so easy to push around. China is backing all of the wrong nations. If they are not careful it will be the biggest "cookout" in history. However Siberia sure looks tempting. 38.7 million "Russians" vs 1.3 billion Chinese. Really what does China want with Japan? No oil, no gas and our rice has a hint of radioactive particles.
