WTF Japan?

And Iceland and Norway....seriously...WTF?
They’re only going to be whaling within their territorial waters... kind of a win actually.

A history of staying to themselves.

Japanese have far few international exploits than most cultures.

There two main events, invasion of Korea, and world war 2 are both unique circumstances. First complete unification and inability to convince the world to leave them alone respectively.

Japan confining whaling to their own waters is very realistic for them, and within their prerogative.

They fought quite a lot of wars, dude. They invaded Korea like three times, I think. They attacked China repeatedly. They attacked Russia a few times.

That’s like blaming the French for attacking Rome.

LOL, what?

Japan literally attacked Korea several times. They attacked China several times. They attacked Russia at least twice. This is going back centuries, man.

Just like to say, on Otern's behalf, Norway only hunts a sustainable species. Minky I think.
Japan never stopped, they just called it research. At least they are being upfront about it now.
The radiation and heavy metal contamination will be the whale's revenge.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

It's totally within their sovereign rights - the issue is whether they should do it. Japan is not the fucking PRC - they're somewhat Nobel (post war)...they should know better....they really want whale meat that bad? Or is it something for posh businessman to serve at their house for parties?


Guess I just expected better of the Japs........
