Uh, how would you know anything about "sensible"? You're in no position to be talking about "sensible" when you routinely repeat Nazi and neo-Nazi propaganda ("Hitler wasn't the problem, the Jews were" and "the Jews definitely caused Hitler's animosity by wrecking Germany after WWI," etc.), when you peddle neo-Nazi and ISIS/Hamas/Iranian propaganda about Jews and Israel ("the Jews have caused all the wars in the Middle East since 1948" and "Jews never pass up a chance to make money," "Was the Holocaust bad? I guess," etc.), and when you continue to deny that Mao Tse-Tung murdered tens of millions of people and to claim that Red China was less repressive than Free China.
The Jews ability to whine to me about the Holocaust has been completely erased by what they are doing in Gaza.
Oh, and taking my comments out of context again? Or just fabricating quotes. You do you, man.
You're the one who just can't help himself. I noted that the primary sources put the Nanking civilian death toll at around 10,000, which is an undeniable fact, as I have documented in several previous replies. But you wave aside all the primary evidence and rely on a discredited book written by a suicidal paranoid nutcase who wasn't even a professional historian. Even a number of openly anti-Japanese historians don't buy Chang's ridiculous 300K-plus figure for civilian deaths, not to mention her absurd expansion of the massacre area (never mind that Japanese forces were never in or near most of her fictional area).
Yeah, nobody accepts the 10,000 number, either.
"Hey, that one doesn't count, she was outside the walls!"
"That one doesn't count, he was old enough to be a soldier and we'll claim he was, even though he wasn't in uniform".
Hey, that one doesn't count, no white people saw it happen!"
We'll just keep going around and around and around. You cite one book written by an emotionally disturbed non-historian, while I cite all the primary sources and over a dozen Asia scholars. You don't care that most of the photos that Chang used in her book have nothing to do with the Nanking incident. You dismiss such brazen fraud as no big deal.
I cite a book by a scholar who actually bothered to research the issue, unlike most of the WHITE people you list who use it as a footnote. (In all seriousness, the Second Sino-Japanese War gets really downplayed in relation to the rest of WWII.
Both the Nationalist and Communist governments accept the 300,000 figure.
Finally, I note yet again that you still have not manned up, admitted, and apologized for purposely trying to mislead readers about General Fakui and Chiang Kai-Shek and Fakui's admission that the Chinese were the aggressors at Shanghai. You never had any credibility anyway, but you further blacken your already bad reputation by refusing to acknowledge your falsehood.
If Fakui said that, Chiang should have shot him for treason. Serious. Imagine if Husband Kimmel said that kind of shit after Pearl Harbor. Or McArthur said that kind of shit after Bataan.
Shanghai is in China. The Japanese had no business there. Further, Japan had launched an invasion of China a month before the battle for Shanghai. You absolutely do not leave a strategic point in the hands of the enemy when you are launching an offensive.
Zhang Fakui was a pretty big idiot, but then again, so were most of Chiang's generals.
That's why they lost.
