Should Somalia reach out to Japan for help?

百年國恥 (Century of humiliation)

The century of humiliation, also known as the hundred years of national humiliation, is the term used in China to describe the period of intervention and subjugation of the Chinese Empire and the Republic of China by Western powers, Russia and Japan in between 1839 and 1949.[1]

These guys have a whole name for it and are still mad lol, the Chinese hold grudges. Especially with Japan, they did them the dirtiest. China was just minding its own business, Japan built a railway near them, blew it up on purpose, blamed it on China just so they could have an excuse to Invade. They invaded China and brutalized the people of China when they were at their weakest state. You just know when the Chinese get the chance they’ll return the humiliation ten fold.

Rape of Nanjing (1937-1938)

The Rape of Nanjing was one of the most horrendous violations of human rights in world history. The Nanjing massacre consisted of the mass rape and murder of approximately 300,000 Chinese civilians and wholesale destruction of the city. To add insult to injury, the Japanese then made e city of Nanjing the capital of their puppet government in China. Decades later the Chinese civilians were still suffering from the aftermath and relations with Japan are still strained to this day.


This is why Japan so desperately clutches on to the thighs of the US. They know they’ll get abused 10 times worse than they abused China, and it’s only a matter of time.
Japan with its 5 trillion dollar economy and it's cultural exports of anime, manga, etc will never be invaded by China. America and NATO will protect them forever. Plus with their ingenuity, if America did leave them, they'd develop ballistic nuclear warheads designed to keep the Chinese in check. Invade and Beijing and Shanghai become toast. Mutual destruction.

I don't know.
On one hand, I admire China and Japan's histories. They have had one of the longest histories on Earth, with one of the most sophisticated cultures. They are known to have faced and survived heavy casualties. China's resilience in the 19th and early/mid 20th centuries shown us how dedicated and energetic the Chinese were, all thanks to MAO's policies and the cheer will of the People.
But, they had to sacrifice millions of lives to come where they are now. 20 million have died of MAO's Reforms, millions of Japanese workers were forced to work like donkeys in factories and farmlands (during the Meiji Period).
Are we ready to compromise comfort for the sake of our country?
Many Somalis, back home, work like donkeys, but we are too corrupted. Many of my family members, including my parents, had to work like crazy to earn a little money.
Back home is too corrupted, people are vile and tribalistic to the extreme.

Though I only appreciate doing things by myself, I would just suggest we take these populations, these cultures, as inspirations to work harder. But, never to get colonized again! It's shameful to ask, but more dignifying to work and take inspiration from others.


Hopefully, we will meet satisfying levels of development.
Let's stay positive, the Zoo's can learn from others!

All HAIL to the CHAIRMAN!
Lei Feng, even though his history is disputed, is a inspiration to selfless and patriotic behaviour.
 
Newsflash no one wants Somalia. It’s a barren land with little resources and violent ignorant population. If anyone wanted to rule it they already would’ve had in the past 30 years. The world simply does not care about Somalia and Somalis don’t care about it either. It’s unfortunate but true.
Um we do have resources and our coastline is one of the most coveted in africa

Lol you’ll see. The west and nato are quickly losing power themselves. China won’t go on a full on invasion but trust me, they’ll start bullying Japan heavily.

Also Japan can’t make a nuclear warhead on the fly and send it to China, even if they did make it those nukes would be intercepted immediately before it reaches anywhere near Shanghai or Beijing.

The US themselves are already too afraid to mess with China which is why China has free reign over south east asia. If the nato and the US could keep china in check they wouldn’t give VETO power to China in the UN despite all its blatant warcrimes and tyranny in the east.
 
tbh its pretty impressive how japan went from being broke and hated by every nation + nuked, to one of the richest and peaceful nations in the world and a gdp of 5 trillion
They got U.S aid in the 50’s like most of Europe and some of Asia got to become developed they didn’t become rich on there own.

Every year Africa gets money from various international agencies.
Still, it's one of the poorest regions on Earth.

We have very little in common in terms of terms of ethos, temperament, culture. We just happen to share a clan system, like we do with a number of other nations.

Africa only gets food and also salaries for politicians tbh and the food they get undermines the local farmers which destroys there economy since they can’t compete.

Another reason I don’t joke about the weak ass AID Somali gets, is because Korea and Germany got money in billions and with today’s inflation it’s worth even more. And they were also sent engineers and proper elected officials. Africa has never gotten that sort of funding or infrastructure from the United States. Like Europe and Asia in the 50’s.

Or maybe Africans can't work by themselves, and also need to rely on others.
Sxb, compare Singapour to Ghana in 1950 and now.
Africans are doomed tbh. Bomb that place and change the demographics to Chinese.


You will see better results.

Nah Europe seriously got insane amount of handouts from U.S AID also tons of trade deals to help there economy. America literally held there hands so that they wouldn’t slaughter each other again in the 50’s and 60’s.

That was the Cold-War where the US literally spent billion upon billion to stop a country from moving to communism. No way they do that now.

America would never have invested in Africa the way they invested in Europe, Japan, and Korea due to prejudice against blacks. The size of Africa hurts them as well as the extreme geography. If america wanted to invest in Africa it’s best bet would be west Africa. Proximity to Europe and america on the Atlantic helps them.
 
Japan ended their civil war when 1 clan overpowered everyone else and then unified the nation.

Zoomies don't have the ability to do this as they lack smart generals that can outmanoeuvre their opposition therefore resulting in a constant stalemate where everybody loses :mjkkk:
