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
None of those areas were industrialized, developed with infrastructure, or otherwise capable of supporting resource production to fuel the Japanese war effort, which is why it's a well-known fact they were plagued by crippling supply/resource issues throughout the war & part of the reason why their planes, cities, and aircraft carriers were made out of WOOD.

Extreme intelligence, lol. The average Japanese person at the time was like 5' tall due to vastly inferior nutrition, and if you're applying modern IQ tests to their population at the time I'd be surprised if they were more intelligent at all, on average.

And you're god damn right demographics and geography are important. Ask Hitler or Napoleon about the Russian winter and capacity for defense-in-depth, and see how it goes waging war against a country with 10x your population and industrial capacity.
