We're not going to see Asian nations uniting against Japan. The US is unwilling to see Japan undefeated and will clobber the PLAN/allies if it feels the Japanese navy is going to be desroyed. This is because Japan is America,s main strategic partner in Asia. OF course, the US wouldn't want to see South Korea lose either because South Korea is another American ally, so there would be tremendous US pressure to end the war. The US wouldn't support either side because it would lose an ally, and it would look very bad is Japan/rest of Asia, depending on what side they picked.

Why would they do anything? Japan is still the number 1 economic power in Asia, so why would they risk their links with it? These are, after all, a few piddly small rocks of no real value to anyone. They would leave South Korea and Japan to it - at most there would be criticism if one party randomly provoked the other to a necessary response.

You seem to have this obsession with everyone uniting against Japan. I can promise you that won't happen, unless we return to the 1930s and it's clear they're going to be attacked (again). A minor dispute does not equate to a full-scale conquest of Asia. If China and South Korea could see that then relations with Japan wouldn't be so bad, and the chances of military conflict would disappear. Unfortunately by deluding themselves into thinking such disputes mean anything they make such a confrontation a possibility.

I'm pissed off at anime. All the kids in my Japanese class want to be Japanese and watch anime, read manga, and listen to J-Pop. I used to be like them, but I'm over it. Japanese cultures is just crazy nowadays. My friend lived in Japan fo 3 years and he said there are way too many strip clubs, plus Japan is the hotspot for Human Trafficing. It's nuts. Plus they have some crazy people there. But hopefully the alternative, left-wing youth will change society.
