Why isn't Japan a superpower?
pretty hard to be a super power when another country has army bases in yours
Because they're a puppet state just like most of the western world. They barely have a military.
Superpooper has everything to do with money and international relations, very little with having a mighty army.
If you think that, “Fuck around and find out.” As they say.
They are, look at their navy
They'd shitstomp you chinese solo
They went for quality over quantity
the jap navy is second strongest in the world, stronger than the bongs
They haven't been napping these past 70 years
Tiny dicks and 0 culture
The only superpower in the world is the US, Japan and Europe lost their chance to become superpowers in WWII.
That said, Japan has easily the best equipped army, navy, and air force in Asia.
They're literally are and our best ally in the Pacific
>the jap navy is second strongest in the world
You mean the "Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force"
Because their men are getting cucked out of existence, how do you expect to be a powerhouse if all you do is sit at your computer in your room everyday?
They can call it whatever they want.
They're a cultural superpower
Mitsubishi gang where you at?
Outside of the western/European world, outside of those we share blood with, no other country has ever showed us the respect and honor that those goddamned nips have. The US would bleed and kill for Japs as readily as they would for kin. You can bet your ass they are a “super power”.
>poke the dragon
>lose honorably
>big brother acquired
>big brother lets you rebuild your toys
now we just need to help them raise Yamato and rebuild her with graphene
They show you respect because there's 50,000 U.S military personnel stationed there. Let's be frank.
Losing a world war will do that to you
>Losing a world war will do that to you
So will 'winning' one.
You bongs made it out better than anyone on the Axis other than maybe Italy, your Empire was just unsustainable.
because america and china
>That said, Japan has easily the best equipped army, navy, and air force in Asia.
