Are you implying that there's something inherent in Japanese people that would cause them to revert back to committing atrocities and that the only thing stopping them is the USA dominating them while the USA commits atrocities? Of course that would also be coupled with the belief that the atrocities the USA commits are not inherent in the American people, right?
It's nothing against the people of Japan, but their geography. They need to import their oil and lots of other stuff, so if they didn't have major global allies and markets, the country would need to lash out.
Obviously the first question you asked is loaded, so I won't answer it. Any atrocities committed by American actions are obviously bad, but you'd have to be more specific about what atrocities for me to answer.
So Japan is a risk because of resource scarcity? Someone really needs to get on dominating Europe.
