    ts beyond time for japan and korea to find commanality and join

    Good luck with that. Especially the older generations that still hate each other. Add to that whenever the japanese right or Korean left want to stir shit up with their nationalist bases, the opposite country is the go-to. Previous agreements etc. be damned.

      I mean. italy, france, england, and germany. They were not always so chummy and now the uk is not even part of the biggest and earliest members.

        It took them back to back world wars and complete destruction to do that. I think on the other side of the pond they are still missing one or two before they realize that uniting is the correct way

        I mean…England and France will always hate each other. It’s just sometimes they’re also allies. Allies who side eye each other.

      The older generation will die out eventually. Japan can speed up the process by apologizing for everything already

        Yeah thats not gonna happen. Half the younger generation think the 90s happened because Korea and China stole all Japan’s technology and/or the government spent too much and that Japan has always been a civilizing influence on east asia.

          You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. The biggest political movement among Japanese young people right now is fascist.
