Ok, first off thats not how politics works. If politics were as easy and clear cut as “if is bad, will apologize” or “if and are different the opinions will reflect such” politics wouldn’t be the mess it is today.
Second off, its literally a move to get more political cout. There are 2 types of people in South Korea who care about the whole Korea-Japan schism: Nationalist (internet) Koreans, and the politicians that seek to earn their support. This move appeases said nationalists, but most South Koreans (who don’t particularly care about the history with Japan, or even would rather a cooperative alliance) don’t really care about the difference in terminology as long as they get to work together with the Japanese.
My point is that there is no alliance treaty between Korea and Japan.
And I guarantee that as a Korean, “most Koreans” are against military cooperation with Japan.
So you fall cleanly into my definition of “nationalist (online) Korean”
Well if thats the card you pull I won’t really contest it, theres no way for me to counteract that in any satisfactory manner
That being said, for the purposes of this post, S.Korea and Japan are more than enough working together militarily. They held co-op military exercises this past June/July, and likely will hold more in the future. They both recognize China as a common enemy, and have pleged to work together to better defend themselves and each other.
Very different from how China and Taiwan are actively at odds with each other and yet they’re together in the same tree.
It is you who are in confirmation bias
Only 28 percent of Koreans said Japan was “good” and “good in general” in the survey
Come back to War Thunder,
Rather, Italy’s subtree makes more logical sense, whether it is possible or not, rather than making South Korea Japan’s subtree
South Korea had more military relations with Italy than with Japan.
South Korea and Japan never used each other’s military equipment, but South Korea licensed more than 400 Italian fiat CM6614
Wait, so allow me to get this straight - You say that S.Korea buying a couple hundred APCs from italy warrants closer military ties than a joint defence and security treaty?
A joint defense and security treaty between South Korea and Japan has never been signed with the consent of the National Assembly
If the military relationship between Korea and Italy is the same as the military relationship between Korea and Japan, the country that licensed and used the other’s equipment has a closer military relationship
So basically, due to that they both were executive decisions not explicitly voted on by the National Assembly, a trilateral military sercurity and defense agreement is worth less in terms of military ties than an equipment shipment?
I personally find that a liiiiittle strange but you do you.
You do realize you just proved the two nations do in fact have military agreement. GUESS WHO DOESNT HAVE EVEN that. THATS RIGHT TAIWAN AND CHINA. Yeah Taiwan doesnt have a positive relationship with china IN THE SLIGHTEST.
So I have multiple games now as Japan. And I’m killed in my type 10 tank by CAS strikes either because my team refuses to actually do anti air duties or doesnt have them in their line up. Now I do have the type 81 c WHICH needs a radar unit which GAIJIN KNOWS. But decides THERMALS will allow you to sweep the skies well enough. But there is another problem Helicopters at top tier can out range your missle lock of them. The type 87 well has no chance since it doesnt even have thermals so even if you do dettect something in the air
You have to panic llock the area hoping you can find it and hoping its in your very short engagement range, And because GAIIIN just refusses to fix this issue of gameplay for JAPAN. I believe Japanese and to a less extent israel and italian mains shouldnt be punished for one death leaves. No locking out japanese line ups if they leave because they team is shit and they cant protect themselves from air
YOU COULD GIVE THE AMERICAN ANTI AIR TO japan UNLESS THAT IS POLITICAL to. This has been a problem FOR YEARS for japan at top tier. WE also see most every other nation getting tanks and even sub trees from " Allied nations that are totally not political in the slightest. America gets israeli tanks, Germany gets russian stuff
Beside NOT giving JAPAN A sub tree nation. Other solutions have been just ignored and units such as the MPMS are rejected for no reason. As are giving japan the oh-1 and 2 helicopters the f-2 japans variant of the f-16.
Giving us a squadron scout verison of the and still no IFV so pretty much that vechile without the mast sight as you KNOW A TOP TIER IFV FOR A NATION THAT HAS TWO TANKS AT 12.0
