Holy cow, It always felt unreal to me how the Japanese are so friendly towards the US but I never made the connection. Tnx Abhijit
Japanese never like Americans. I know someone who has business in Japan they told me they value their own culture way above than any.
@@user-li9qj3vh3j Same for Germany too, kinda besties since the Marshall plan, even the east that was part of the USSR.
@@kanikahasija3537 but now poor Japan can't do anything , it's under white skin western led US hegemony
Thats how india is still under britains colonial ocupation via british proxies like upa congress,fake gandhi families,british written englis constitution and indian pseudo intelectuals and pseduo libreals. India started decolonisation process since the day modi,bjp and rss tookover in 2014. And it will take time to decolonise india. We have just started.
I'm an American here. I had no idea Indians hated America.
Thankyou for clearing our doubts. I was under the impression that The US had returned the nation back to the Japanese.
Usa has most colony is this era. They hijacked majority of democracy and control it. Those who can't control they destroy by various means
They did. This guy is dishonest
For the most part the US did. Sure we kept bases there but that isn't unusual for the US even with Allies we haven't been to war with and defeated. The difference post WW2 in Japan vs Germany is the US was in charge almost solely on post WW2 Japan. In Europe the Soviets, British, French, etc all got a vote on what would happen with Germany. For Japan it was 98% up to the US and Australia got a 2% vote. So Japan ended up with a new Constitution, new "friends" and became a global technology and manufacturing superpower in less than a decade.

#AskAbhijit Sir, please tell Indians about the ex KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov who came to India to ideologically subvert the country, but later on exposed the Communist tactic in 1984. Well, what's your opinion on Yuri Bezmenov?#AskAbhijit
Must. Know. This.
Yes I want to know too
He was CIA spy ! Propaganda! See the situation now with Ukraine itself how they spreading propaganda At the time India was moving very close to Soviet Union ! Read about Cold War it’s interesting
There we’re many double agents who worked for CIA ! Even Gorbachev and yeltsin were CIA puppets They were the root cause for soviet fall !
Have heard Edward Snowden even he defected to Russia It’s CIA propaganda tool They have done it with libiya Syria Afghanistan Iraq iran North Korea Vietnam Cuba Central America Middle East etc !
Wow didn't know history is so interesting....well wish we had teachers like him 😭
0:45 a little correction sir japan was divided among the allies after the surrender. The northern part was given to the soviet Union, USA occupied the central japan and southern japan was given to the UK and a island was also given to the chinese however as UK was broke after the war they gave their territory to the USA as it was getting too expensive for them specially when there economy was in ruins chinese also faced similar situation and handed their territory to USA and kept manchuria and stalin thought that Japanese were very anti- communist thus they also gave their territory to USA.
Because MacArthur shared the war loot with the empire AND gave the war criminal Hirohito a free pass. Gold Warriors by Seagrave
i didn't know that..wow..free pass!!! your comment made me speechless!! Thank you so much for the info.👍👍
wow , thank you
It is a fact that imperial Japan was a nasty colonial power that needed to be defeated. (It's a different matter that we are grateful to the Japanese for helping out Netaji). However, nuking Japan was an act of ethnic genocide, because Japan was virtually defeated at that point. You have illumined an obscure point that Japan is still an occupied "ally".
Japan is. The security of Japan depends on the US
Why don’t you do a thought exercise of how many Japanese civilians would have died if the 8 million man invasion of Japan would have happened rather than nuking Japan?
anyhow mate they went thru shit hundreds of millions of dead civilians and military alike during WW2 economy was in ruins(practically in a state comparable to ours when brits left us) yet they developed so fast and are basically a first world country (sovereign or otherwise) yet we a "sovereign country" still grovel in dirt
@@morganholsomback4851 i think japan surrendered because they fear red army invasion , and we all know what happened when red army invaded Germany , so 2 nuke was better option , then soviet soldiers on your land
@@kaceobrwa7039 they didn't surrendered before because their values were not to surrender or come alive from battle field this was seen in aircraft war between them and US ,Japanese fighter planes went on a suicide charge so that they wouldn't have returned alive which is was the most shameful act of any soldier After the 1st nuke they still didn't want to surrender, the Japanese War Minister told their PM this was nothing and we can still fight so the 2nd nuke was required after that they realized there was no point to fight as they were helpless against nuke I don't think they would have mind dying against red army in battle that much but nuke was something different and can't be fought
There is no permanent friends and opponents in Politics
yes in international politics there are only permanent interests.

Your understanding is admirable 👏
Wow, ok then... You state the obvious, yet my mind is blown away, or maybe the propaganda of my US upbringing is blown away... Good riddance. I had wondered about this question in the back of my mind too. Your answer makes complete sense... As always, thank you for your simple, clear explanation of the issue.
Lot of poor confused new generation Japanese try so hard to become caucasian - they dye their hair blonde, etc. Don't get me wrong - I love a lot of western stuff, but you have to be yourself.
Dying hair blonde isn't trying to become caucasian lol. And get this right, Americans are not Caucasian either. Americans are white. Only the people from Caucasus are truly, biologically Caucasians. The Africans tie their hair in strands or dreads doesn't mean they're trying to be Indian 😂
@@wkhcax157 You are comparing apples and oranges - false equivalence. Many "colored' people who are insecure in themselves or try to fit in, will color their hair blonde. Like Mexicans in the US, the Japanese etc. Absolutely hate it as much as silicone implants..lol

This is what I was also thinking since quite sometime, today got the answer, thanks.
Being enemy of usa is dangerous but being friend of usa is also fatal.
the fact is, being a US enemy is at least sustainable, but being a US ally is not, is the truth
@@Comm3mihir not really look at the American cold war allies and enemies western Europe vs easter Europe, north korea vs south korea, taiwan vs PRC, Japan vs India
It's true... Even when we give examples like Western Europe compared to Estern Europe or Japan/South Korea vs India, etc all this is only form just a couple of dimensions especially the material one. ... These countries by the minute are losing their ethnicity, no matter what they say...A simple street in the city of Japan looks so like one in a western country, only and only the physical appearance of the people (with all respect) which is a mother nature's gift, only that makes them close to their ancestors, nothing else.... The amazing Eastern culture has always been a subject of abuse by western world... And we can see the richness depleting... I am not at all saying that India did good (we have our own complicated story) but it's true an Idiotic Effort is being made to color the whole world same, which for long run of Humanity is dangerous,...Diversity brings bit of challenges with itself (so are we afraid of little hard work?) but the fruit of extraordinary makes up for it. With diversity the culture is like a intricate, colorful tapestry or else it's just mass produced goods of same size. Don't we see how slowly and slowly the taste be it your clothes or food or automobiles or gadgets or anything you use is becoming so Damm same as every one. These cultural heritages of any country for that matter is not a simple social aspect but gives the unique soul to the people following and nurturing it.
There is this saying, "Either you are America's enemy or it's colony" And this saying is aptly right because of how we all use American digital products and willingly handing over our data to them, through which they now the psychology of a nation and it's masses and then they can massively influence us!
@@flaminmongrel6955 lol. That's what they've made u and us to think. Do u think North Korea is crazy, Kim is crazy..? This is what western propaganda has made the world to think. Remember Sovereignty is much more important than alliances. Now look what US has done for Europe, by attacking Middle East, US has opened the pandora box of refugees, they made Europe a nation of refugees. Demography is changing rapidly in Europe. Violence ,rape , knife attacks , terrorism , religious fundamentalist has become so common in Europe, indigenous culture of Europe is depleting. Do u think European countries are sovereign nations.? Lol 😆 But US has not accepted any refugees from Middle East, they diverted all to Europe. And now Europe is suffering. Remembered the lecture of Ex KGB Yuri Bezmenov , the 6 vital institutions where foreign forces attacks to destroy a nation.
Man , I love this guy!
Yes, very true. Germany and Japan are in a similar situation. Both countries lost the 2nd world War and have been ever since been militarily occupied by the US. It is common practice to demilitarize a country after defeat. In this case the US established military bases and politely dictates their foreign policy. I live in Germany and most people are not aware until the citizens don't agree with US policy and want to divert from US guidelines. Then somehow our politician always give in and comply to the US.
This is called indirect slavery. I know usa loves democracy becoz they are master in hijacking it.
Actually ww also created by colonial power . After years of provocation provocation provocation these have no option but to start a war.
Well after starting 2 world wars can you blame the US for occupying Germany
@@MonroeSim I am not saying the defeat.and forced pacification of Germany and Japan was unjustified. It was absolutely necessary for world peace. However, I ask myself how long this should continue.. 🤔
Considering Europe was at constant war since the beginning of time it's probably for the best. Everyone has grown fat, greedy, and weak though because of us intervention. The alternative is America focuses on itself and Europe goes back to smacking each other.
Wow. I had this question always but never knew US is still the big daddy for Japan or even Germany
Even South Korea
It's good that USA keeps a close eye on Japan, Germany even today because of the unspeakable atrocities that Germany n Japan did on innocent people. Japan by its own admissions killed more than 3 crores/ 30 million in East Asia by swords n guns during the second world war. Even today the world is not innocent. There r crooks n criminals. It's imperative that USA should keep a third eye on them.
@@tjjosejoseph9594 yes USA is holy soul which never kills innocent people from Iraq , Syria , Vietnam , Korea . You are hypocrite
I also had the same question..great explanation
Never knew this, thanks sir🙏
Thank you for posting
Sir, Please make a clip of "Possible dark reality", you mentioned at 1:16:30 (time stamp) in the 25th Askabhijit episode of geopolitics and world history. (Indian left leaders are participating and praising in China's 100 anniversary of ccp. They wish China to become more powerful.)
I think the aspect of how it became the best friend wasnt addressed suffciently . Just having military bases doesnt bring any country closer to anyone in a manner Japan is to US . Djibouti is military base of many countries , Madagascar has a listening post of india and many african countries are bases to many others. Nowhere are they as closer. I think it required more explanation regarding other factors like economic integration , lurking threat of China and Russia to japan , no allies in its surrounding (even south korea is antagonistic to japan ) etc. So more exploration required in answering this
Thanks for this, it all makes sense now
Japan has mutual defense treaty with US, hence it allows Americans to have a base on its territory, just like other NATO nations. Do not think US is occupying Japan or Germany.
These countries pay the U.S. to provide them protection because their governments have deemed it cheaper (Developing weapons is expensive) and preferable (ensures U.S. upholding of defense agreements) than doing it themselves. Japan has threatened to close U.S. bases for their soldiers behavior at times. This guy just has no clue about the realities.
A "mutual" defense treaty? Didn't you hear that it was written under the supervision of US diplomat? You call it "mutual"?
@@brownguy0405 Haha, those "threats" are a public stunt. Talking about something vs actually doing something is completely different. They'll never do it. Japan didn't choose to sign the treaty because it was officially under US occupation when the treaty was signed.
@@brownguy0405Anyone can threaten lol, your words don't define you buddy, your actions do. Japan has never been able to ignore USA commands since 1945. That's a fact. They are independent only in name. Their govt sits when daddy USA asks them to sit and they stand when USA asks them to stand.
This channel is pure gold. BTW there are reports which say Japan had initiated surrender before being nuked but uncle Sam wanted to try his new weapon regardless.
#AskAbhijit Is USA a modern day "British Empire"? It has military base in some of the most important parts of the world and most of the country are under USA influence. Just the difference is that, USA provides some level of sovereignty for the sake of it and they don't want global population to know about it just to keep up their good fame. Is this true?
Not really. The US is based on banditry, just like Britain of the 19th century, for sure, but they go about it very differently. The US is based on consolidating bandits into one group in order to avoid competition between bandits. Immediately after World War II, the United States launched huge rebuilding effort in the countries they destroyed during the war. This is completely different from what happened after World War I, when the defeated nations were required to pay war reparations to the victors. In order words, the Axis powers lost the war militarily, but they achieved their primary objective for launching the war: gain access to resources and markets for their economic growth. This ensured that they fit neatly into the US alliance. Of course, the US did not extend the same "generosity" to those it couldn't absorb into the bandit alliance. The British, on the other hand, didn't believe in creating an alliance of bandits. They wanted to be the sole beneficiary of banditry and constantly battled other bandits, like the French, for supremacy.
Wrong. Humanity had 3000 years to figure out a solution to conflicts. No Nation did until the U.S. Every other Nation is an Ethno state except the US. The real goal is to defend Earth. With nations debating and waging war this will never be realized. Earth needs to be prepared for the inevitable.
@@trolllo9729 The US did end conflict, but only between fellow bandit nations, with the singular idea of murdering and plundering the rest as they saw fit. I will be cheering as that nation of murdering, plundering, psychopathic bandits called the USA bites dust and is confined to the dustbin of history as it will soon be.
Yes USA is modern day British Empire .
I'm an American. My ancestors lived under the British Empire as French-speaking Catholic mixed-breeds in Quebec after the British Empire took over New France. No, America is nothing like the British Empire. The British Empire was cruel. Why does America have military bases around the world? The answer is short: communism never went away. Yes, America also has ethnic groups from every country in the world living here. I've talked to people from around the world.
No ur wrong here I agree after the war USA occupied japan for 7 years, democratized the political structure,initiated growth and stability, Mc Arthur played key role in drafting of the constitution. Usa made provisions of US military bases on Japanese land, and forbid japan to maintain army. This may seem like occupation but this was in fact a symbiotic relationship between Usa and Japan USA got military bases to project power in Asia. Japanese people, who were very much oppressed by japanese ruler, got democracy, an open capitalist market, economic boom, access to USA market. Today 84% japanese see USA as a favourable country, thats even higher than how Americans see USA. If japan were occupied by usa, it explains the presence of military bases but how can the Japanese love usa?
All of us hate UK, yet Indian people wear western clothes, speak English etc. So, it's somewhat like Stockholm syndrome
I'm glad someone here has the knowledge to point this out
Even i was thinking about this question......but your answer was shocking for me....
Okinawa has over 70% of American bases.
This is a great channel. A new, to the point, no frills perspective on things. One might call Japan a "protectorate" of the US. But your video shows there is a fine line in between a "protectorate" & an "occupied" land. Really depends on one's point of view. Same with South Korea
#Askabhijiet How can India develop It's own sphere of influence not just in south Asia but also in Africa , South east Asia, middle east , Eurasia, and in Latin America
First we need to develop indigenous think tanks.
That's what can be called as HIJACKED TILL DATE
They have no choice
#AskAbhijit Sir do you think that instability in Asia is a creation of USA. As all nations in the west are nearly United but in Asia there are many differences and what happens if some day we where to unite together RUSSIA + INDIA + CHINA + MIDDLE EAST , etc.
Yes I think that is true. Also, I have questioned the fact of continent creation. It is in favour of the West. But Asia is the most disadvantaged. As it has Russia, China, India, Middle East, all countries that deserved to be superpowers of their own and have their own continent because our culture is all so different. But we are all dumped together in a single continent Asia and they are having their own clean-cut continent where they are the superpowers. I think it is made in such way to produce conflict between the Asian nations for power. So that we keep on fighting against ourselves.
Europe and USA will never let that happen
The west will never let the east unite. Those nasty colonisers know that this will seriously threaten their hegemony in the world.
It's because of us military bases, Japan is able to focus more on development as they they can use less money in defence budget and divert it for development. And also USA is bound to give Japan its nuclear umbrella, as Japan has hostile nuclear arm neighbor China, so if USA doesn't give protection then Japan will develop its own nuclear weapons which again USA doesnt wants
There was no need of atom bomb on japan
Good content brother
#AskAbhijit Kindly make a video about what is mythology and what is real itihash in our popular epics, many different popular stories of bharat or in Sanatan Dharma. Plz make it clear. 🙏
Great video
All NATO bound allies have close military connections with US. Some have bases in their countries. Another reason Japan is so close to the US is because of US aid that helped Japan rebuild after WW2. In fact in the 1980s Japan was about to overtake the US (like China is doing now), Republican senators started to protest (supremacist, neo-colonialists) and then came Plaza accords, which resulted in Japan allowing its currency to appreciate. I'm not convinced by the argument that it was because of US, that Japan stagnated, because the bank of Japan also made some big mistakes, such as lowering interest rates, to such an extent that a real estate bubble started to form. Which burst, when they increased the interest rates. From then on, stagflation has gripped the economy ever since. This is why I actually support China in the US-China trade war. Because when India rises to challenge the US, it will receive a similar treatment.
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Sir please correct me if I am wrong , when the Arabs under Umayyad Caliphate invaded India , the invasion was halted. Then why in the case of the Turks it didn't happen ?
there was a podcast in charvaka podcast about this. it is a 3 part podcast titled Turkic invasions. basically because of two reasons horses and social stratification of indian society.(kzhead.info/sun/gbObgNOSm6GrmJ8/bejne.html)
@@gauthampai896 Thank You So Much. I had already gone through them. But what I am looking here is for a comparative analysis.
Japan was an ally of the US from 1860 until 1939 when the US unilaterally broke the treaty. The first treaty was called "Treaty of Amity and Commerce Between the United States and the Empire of Japan" ratified by US Congress in 1860, which was nominally a trade treaty, but with clear defense obligations. This was replaced in 1899 by "Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation between Japan and the United States of America" which omitted the extraterritorial rights given to US citizens in Japan and restored customs autonomy to Japan in exchange for more open trade and more robust military obligations. When war broke out between Japan and China in 1931, the US did not want to participate on behalf of its ally Japan and unilaterally broke off the alliance.
Ever wondered what is America’s largest aircraft carrier? Its the island nation of Japan.
#AskAbhijit Can you tell me about the cham Vietnam wars and how the vietnamese overcame and absorbed Champa? As Vietnam is China influenced and Champa is India influenced, I think that could tell us a lot about the current India vs China situation. #AskAbhijit .
Q. Why India isn't allying with Greece on an international level against Turkey in current scenario? Also, what are the other nations India should ally with and isn't doing that? #askabhijit
India is taking minor steps. Greece has shown interest in brahmos missile India has to care about European concerns because countries like Germany and France are scared of increasing ties with India without consent of European parliament
And it was the right move. Talk to most older Japanese and they have warm feeling toward MacArthur. During WW2 we were facing the prospect of every Japanese citizen fighting to the end...just look what happened in Okinawa. That invasion was enough to convince the Generals...I would say Japan is better off today.

#Ask abhijit Why India is moving closer to USA despite being long military partner of USSR and Russia
Because Russia doesn't have much to offer now. It's GDP is less than that of India.
It’s called geopolitics
They sort of had no choice after the atomic bombs and I’m sure any other country at the time that had nukes drop in them would do the same
Sir now i am super confused about the alliance of Russia and Germany for natural gas and US protested for it but Germany did it so how come Germanyis under us influence

Even other countries have bases in USA like UK ..Does that mean Uk had occupied USA?
Well there's more to hit. After WW2 & the start of the Cold War the USA 🇺🇸 helped fund Japan 🇯🇵 & helped rebuilt the country because the USA 🇺🇸 was scared that Japan 🇯🇵 would turn to communism. Also the Emperor of Imperial Japan, Michimoniya Hirohito was unliked by most people in his country because they were against war. There's way more too that I haven't listed.

Japan needs freedom!!
sir , you are missing a key point here, after US destroyed many cities in bombing ,Japan was not going to surrender after destruction of 2 more cities, but as soon they got to know of Russia's plan of invasion , they surrendered to USA.(cant fight two big powers at a time)
Also I wouldn’t say Japan is under occupation we have really good relationships and our own bases there but Americans aren’t occupying and controlling anything in Japan other then there bases we have bases in Germany the Middle East Europe but we aren’t occupying them lol
what about constituion and death of shinzo abe why didnt japan amend their constituion once
Hello sir... We still Did not got the answer .... Why did they Accept it .... was japan during 1940s totally a authocratic state .... if so .... how come japan doesnot have Pure conscious people since Bhuddism is there
Dude the US has bases in several countries via providing aid and giving them money to be in their country, so are you saying that every single US base, in all these different countries means the US is owning them? No…
Since you asked the question "Does a sovereign nation ever allow a US base on their soil" ... yes of course they do and there are many. As an example there are a dozen or so US controlled bases in the UK ... a country the US hasn't been at war with since 1812. The real question you are purposefully avoiding is why a sovereign nation would allow the US to have a base on their soil. The answer is simple .. security. At this point in time there is only a single country that can be considered a true global power and that is the United States. No other country on this planet can project military force or political interest as much as the US can (72 hours and an entire US carrier battle group can be anywhere in the world just waiting for the order to send some city or country back to the 1800's). Outside of nuclear weapons, no other country has the ability to operate enough of a military force outside of their regional sphere of influence. Does China have a huge and mighty military? Yes they do but are limited to their region by capability. Same goes for Russia ... they're only a global power due to the nuclear weapons the failed Soviet regime left them but as they have shown in Ukraine are barely capable of sustaining a regional conventional war against a lesser trained and equipped home team. The US is in a class of her own. China and Russia are regional superpowers where the US is operating as a global hyperpower. No individual country or even the rest of the world combined at this point could challenge the US in a conventional war and have a chance of winning. Specifically with Japan post-WW2, we (the US) defeated them militarily but we chose to keep their emperor on the throne. We didn't defeat the people, we defeated their government. I don't believe that the Japanese people hold any malice against the US for ending a brutal war that they and Germany started. Best part is both countries turned out better after WW2 (well Germany did ok for a bit but much better after the Soviets let them reunify). And you're wrong ... actual US occupation of Japan (and Germany) ended in the early 1950's once new (democratic) civilian governments were instituted and able to self govern. You're making videos about where US bases are and assuming those countries are US occupied. Again a huge stretch and faulty conclusion based on the limited information you choose to present.
It is same with South Korea. US bases all around in name of protection by Gen McArthur. If Japan had not dislodged the British from Malay, Singapore and Myanmar with support of INA then India would have never got freedom from British. Quit India movement had failed in 1942.
it's because the Japanese brought us Anime.

All hail thegreatest statesman nehru
What a load of bullshit , Germany has upwards of 7 USA bases on its land , does it mean its not a sovereign nation. To put it in simple terms, there are treaties that you sign to allow US bases on your land IN EXCHANGE OF security and financial support.
what about constitution mr genius

If Japan is occupied and managed by the US, they’re doing a better job at Japan, then in America
Japan does not have its own military and as penance, US provides military protection to Japan, and thus the bases. Japan pays US for this. This is what I have read, is it not true?
As a US tax payer I'd argue the occupational cost out way the benefit in terms of considering the US an "Empire." But it's debatable in terms of mutually beneficial stability in certain regions. In the roughly 50 years leading to the end of WWII Japan had been at war with virtually every country in that region. In their weakened state following it's conclusion it was probably in their best interest to stay under US "occupation" the same could be said for Germany. As a US tax payer who leans towards isolationism, the biggest mistake the US made was getting drawn into WWI(First world war). All we got out of that was a footprint to the great depression and the industrial military complex that needlessly prolongs wars to enrich investors, many of whom aren't even US citizens. If you want a really crazy theory. I'd argue if you look at the way the US has become entangled in wars beginning with WWI. The USA itself is just as likely under occupation. The only war I can think of in modern times where we should have acted like an Empire was the Spanish-American war. If the US had managed to fully control the Philippines and Cuba we likely wouldn't be dealing with many of the issues we're facing today. Instead it gave the military industrial complex excuses to bog down in other places with no real long term goal.
Why do you guys act like you own everything
@@impostor6348 Preaching to the choir. I personally would prefer isolationism. But, if we have to get involved I would love for the US to stop "acting" and actually take shit over for a change.
I think Japan is most stable country ..
Yes, while at the mercy of US.
Expected that to come from a weeb lmao!! 😆😆
@@proudaryanhindu5349 no it's not like that ,I mean internal stability unlike India where minority appeasement is at its peak.
@@Kakashihatake-uo6ou Arre majak kar raha tha yaar, jokes!! Relax!! 😊
@@Kakashihatake-uo6ou idiot , you don’t know what you are talking about
Ok, so by that logic, If India would have been still under dummy British occupation, then we also would have been a developed country😂
there are millitary bases of britain here unlike japan and we wrote our consitituion meanwhile americans wrote japanese
Not correct.
thanks bro
No. It is simply strategy. Japan's goal is to fund space and leave earth. Why invest in defence when you know the US real objective. Contain Russia. Let the US finance your defense while you R&D out of Earth.
