    I wouldn’t. You’re mistaking countries under the thumb of the West as being the West

    WWII and Korea are how those countries came about their position today. I don’t think they’re entirely against their position but they don’t have a seat at the table like the others do

      Japan’s the third largest economy in the world and they aligned themselves with the West in the Meiji restoration. they sought imperial conquest of their neighbors in the 1900s. what more do you want for them to be the West

        Not willingly. This is a core tenet of meoliberalism.

        Japan has blurred porn because of the US. Any laws Japan has made that US citizens have to follow? Nope. How many Japanese military bases exist in America. 0.

        They do not have an equal seat at the table.
