    The US occupied Japan. The agreement wasn’t exactly one made by equals. It was the same kind of deal as the Marshall Plan.

    Which parts of what I said don’t seem related?

        Only until 1952

        De jure, yes. But also what is your point? Do you think this contradicts anything I said?

        Everything you’re saying sounds like a strawman argument.

        A straw man argument is where you pretend someone else is making an argument that they aren’t because it is rhetorically easier to address.

        At which point have I done that even once?
