Cyrano, I would put racism, the self-anointment of being the rulers over the rest (much like the idea of the Middle Kingdom), the population’s fierce loyalty to the Emperor, the long-standing militarism nurtured by the samurai, a great feeling of insecurity especially when surrounded by implacable Tsarist Russia and Imperial China, and a sense of betrayal as well as the looming presence by the Western nations in the 19th & early 20th centuries all contributed to this depraved and despicable behaviour.Cyrano wrote:Are there any theories or explanations for such extreme brutality shown extensively by Japanese troops ?

Japan threatens to destroy any rockets/missiles that overfly its territory, after NKorea announces plans to launch first military spy satellite within 2 weeks:
Seems like NKorean regime was on death's door just a few years ago -- but now the Cold War seems to be back in full force, and has given them a new lease on life.
It feels like the more Japan & SKorea are tapped by Washington for pressure against Russia & China, then the more NKorea will be supported by China & Russia in carrying out provocations against Japan & SKorea.
This time it's a spy satellite - but what further mischief can NKorea make?

The ever vengeful spirit of Japan's nuclear bombing trauma returns:
Notice near the end how his dorsal spines now pop out like reactor control rods, before he unleashes his fearsome atomic breath

I am glad for programs like INSPIRE-MANAK, under which these students were selected through a competition, organized by the Department of Science & Technology. The DST has been successfully participating in this exchange program since 2015.
Under the Japan-Asia Youth Exchange (SAKURA) Science High School Program, a group of 55 students studying in classes X, XI, and XII will be visiting Japan for a week. During their visit, they will gain exposure to Japan's science and technology institutes, including meetings with Japanese Nobel laureates.
