Concerning the Vietnam War, The Asia Pacific Journal reports, “The Pentagon had used Okinawa to stage the 1950-53 Korean War but it was during the Vietnam War that its military build-up truly bore fruit. Once, Hiroshima and Nagasaki covered up the reality of Japan during the Cold War concerning America’s militarism. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are now part of the propaganda machinery – from the LDP and war revisionism to Kishida playing the anti-China and anti-Russia card. The victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are being sullied by powerplays that will utilize all and sundry to further their internal and external ambitions. It is shocking to think that despite America using nuclear bombs against Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Japan would then be utilized by the same nation that dropped Agent Orange on several Asian nations.
