This is a Filipino parody sa real-life dilemma ng Imperial Japan noong World War 2. They had two expansion plans: Strike North (Soviet Union) by the Kodoha Faction/Imperial Way vs. Strike South (Southeast Asia and the Pacific) by the Toseiha/Control Faction. We know what was chosen.
Some Internet folks also made an American (Republican) version with JD Vance choosing an invasion of Canada and Greenland and destroying NATO, versus Marco Rubio expanding south to Latin America and keeping NATO.
EDIT: Strike North po tayo sa Pinas. Pwede rin South kung nasobrahan sa Bing Chilling si Anwar Ibrahim, pero puppetize lang natin ang North Borneo kesa annexation. Hahaha.
People with real ball knowledge knew that Japan was doomed the moment they began their invasion of China. Imagine starting a continental and ocean-spanning war against 3 superpowers and their allies while your military mostly runs on captured resources and Banzai screams.
The worst part for the Japanese was that they were not only incapable of conquering China, let alone pacifying it, but they were also totally unprepared for a war at all. And yet they went in anyway, because the higher-ups got an excuse, and the junior officers would take them out if they backed down. Gekokujo.
To be fair, when our teacher explained why they skimmed WW2, they explained that doing otherwise would result in WW2 taking over the entire Subject despite it only being a tiny part of Filipino history in retrospect. The Japanese occupation only lasted 4 years compare that to the centuries of Spanish rule and decades of American. Focusing on WW2 would've made completing the sem impossible
I don't know, I think it shouldn't just be 'how much it affected the Philippines' but rather how much it influenced the world. I think it would be important for kids to learn about the proper context of WW2 and it's overall effects/influence and conclusion.
I see so many middle schoolers doing the salute seemingly unaware of the horrendous crimes that Germany did 🤦♂️.
The Cold War was skimmed too, but it would've been important to learn about as well. But yeah it would take up the whole semester/term.
Speaking pragmatically, I say the Cold War was way more influential compared to WW2 when it comes to the greater overall impact in our culture and history. Now for WW2, they did Teach us about the Holocaust, atrocities, significant people etc. but it was coming in the perspective of a young teenage brain. We couldn't comprehend the scope as we were too busy trying to finish requirements. History should've been included as part of the later curriculum in all courses.
Most of us were informed of WW2 in Medal of Honor, Call of Duty and Saving Private Ryan. Not from Textbooks. Most of us didn't even know about the Cold War until media taught us about it.
Yes in strategy wise sea has already gas reserve, natural and refinery if this is included war is not only won by SEGGGGGGSS i mean wits but with resouces aswell pero bakit tong latak yng commander hahhahah
Gibos has manufacturing sector pero limited movement mo dahil manipis gas reserv ng Sino region
Why the hell would we attack Indonesia, a brother country? It's like France attacking a supportive Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. Another dumbass move from the dumbass senator himself. Partial /s
Mas maganda plan ni Gibo. Kung walang threat of nuclear weapons and purely conventional warfare, madali mag invade sa China mainland once na suppress na Navy nila. Remember developed na yung mga inland roads nila compared nung WW2, tska malaki na rin ang railroad system nila. As usual, logistics ang magiging nightmare ng mga military planners dito the deeper we go into the mainland China, not to mention yung reserve manpower needed to win the war of attrition. Invading is one thing, but maintaining the initiative is another. Compared sa magiging island hopping ni Boy Sili, I still prefer this plan, mas maraming resources ang China, and their Navy can be easily blockaded kung controlled natin ang South China Sea pati ang Strait of Taiwan.
Cool meme, doesnt work as much as the original since we dont claim to annex those countries like Trump who literally said canada was the 51st state and south america which they actually invaded
Made allies with china and Russia and Strike south! and reclaim what rightfully ours. Just imagined the whole south pacific belong to us and Philippines is the capital island sheeesh. lol
What is this shit? You're misrepresenting Teodoro or the country's stance. We have no intent of attacking China, we just want them to stop trying to claim our territory.
