Hardly got stomped either, it was a slow, grueling campaign across the Pacific.
You know that Japan had Korea, which is rich in all of those except oil? You also realized that "bogged down" means they had all of coastal china, Singapore, Burma, the Philippines, Indonesia....

So a group of warmongers of extreme intelligence who wrecked china, Korea, Indonesia, took Singapore from the British with ease, etc

They weren't a worthy opponent because of geography and demographics? I bet you'd talk down to scipio about his victory not being worthy since Carthage didn't have the supply of young men that Rome had to sustain a war

Jesus Christ I'm glad I voted trump. Feels good to be proud to be an American. SPQA baby god bless Texas
