Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe keeps pissing off China and Korea, this time saying there is “…no clear definition of an invasion internationally…” by Japan at the beginning of what is called the Second World War.

In the mid 1930s to early 1940s Japan invaded mainland east Asia from Russia, Manchuria, China all the way down to Vietnam (Indochina).  Now Japanese leaders are denying it ever happened!

On top of that the Japanese government is considering issuing new school books which will claim many islands lying between Japan, Korea, China and Russia, to belong to Japan, as well as change the history of the Second World War to claim Japan was fighting a defensive war from the start. (most Japanese don’t even know about their attack on Pearl Harbor).

This move will destroy efforts to create a military pact between Japan and South Korea against North Korea.

Prime Minister Abe, just yesterday, threatened China with military action if any Chinese set foot on any of the islands Japan considers theirs: “….we have made sure that if there is an instance where there is an intrusion into our territory or it seems that there could be landing on the islands then we will deal with it strongly.”

Today, Japan’s Kyodo news agency revealed that Japan has conducted war games with U.S. forces on an island off the California coast.  The scenario involved Japan invading and capturing an island!

Here’s what U.S. officials said about the whole thing: “Our position is that we don’t take a position on territorial issues. In the case of Japan……we do have certain treaty obligations with Japan that we would honor.”-U.S. Army General Martin Dempsey
