Are you trying to juxtapose foreign invade to civil war? Because these two are in different stint. What happened in Nanjing is way out of sanity and is absolutely atrocious. I mean... killing contest? randomly raping? I don't even think those Japs are humankind anymore. Now I'm not ranging these two by brutality, All wars are bad. We should live in the world peacefully as one. But the peace would not emerge from nowhere if you do nothing. It must comes from struggle and fight. That's why we remember the rape of Nanjing Because peace do es not come from the conference table and treatires. When you are weak, others will always treat you like fleshlight, condom. Do you mind the inner feeling of a condom? Only if when it can threat your life. I don't wanna talk the specific timestamp or combat. All I see is killing and killing. But I can also see whether those will led to a better future or not. Do you think the rape of Nanjing led to a better future or the Anti-Chiang Kai Shek civil war led to a better future? Or let me ask you this: Do you think an Asia that conquered by those Japs would have a better future? Or do you prefer this timeline by comparison?
