You mean the ones Japan has been paying since 1947? Yes, the Japanese have been paying what we’ve asked them to pay - in fact, they just paid us a couple billion this year.
Regardless of whether or not Japan has
contributed funds to the US for maintaining
Japan’s post war defense, that you believe
the dropping of the second A bomb on them
cleared the account is troubling. Should no
Japanese have been tried as war criminals
based on your position? We ARE essentially
discussing war crimes, aren’t we? The Japanese
government and major Japanese companies conspired
to commit war crimes against American POWs.
