I think this needs an asterisk, pretty sure South Korea and the Philippines would be happy if Japan and China somehow simultaneously destroyed each other.

Edit: astrix to asterisk. Sorry, English isn't my first language. I mean it's been my primary for nearly 30 years, but it's still a bitch sometimes.

The average SK citizen doesn't really hate the Japanese, they just want their damn artifacts back. After all, it's difficult to say the largest instantaneous loss of life in human history wasn't punishment enough.

I think you'd be surprised, we've been hating the Japanese since the 1600s.

Up to 30k Koreans being used as slave labour were killed in the atomic blast.... We don't typically see that as squaring everything away, especially considering the modern Japanese government is made up of the children of war criminals who continue denying their parents many crimes against humanity.

Philippines would not want to see Japan hurt. We are taught about the ugly history for most of our childhood but the general public is pro-Japan in the present. Pop culture aside, they funded projects and research without much debt traps and is curently much less evil than what China is doing these past decades.

That's understandable, i guess you guys wouldn't have the historic animosity. Plus, they probably aren't still attempting to do historic revisionism on your entire country's existence.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
