Japanese Mickey Mouse

Horry Clap!

“ My very dumbed-down version of the importance of “1936″: in the aftermath of the Mukden (Manchurian) Incident and Japan’s announced withdrawal from the League of Nations after the League concluded they were the aggressor, right wing elements in the country started an opinion campaign that once the Five Power naval limitation treaty ran out in 1936, America was planning to attack Japanese possessions, so Japan needed to expand its military…just in case. Apparently, this cartoon was an attempt to stir the pot. [Cartoon Brew] ” Talk about not paying attention to warning signs (last post), look at this 1934 Japanese cartoon.  Any nation portraying Mickey Mouse as the agent of evil is broadcasting, "We hate the United States and are going to attack it, probably in seven years!" "  I mean, WTF?  We should have nuked them then and there.  Oh, right.  Any way, I'm sure we learned our lesson.  Right?
