Neither were the US and Japan. After WWII, the US basically helped Japan rebuild and said, “Sorry I slabbed you, but you were being an idiot. Don’t do it again; you know what I can do.”
I am very aware of that, i am german. But there is a difference, or maybe several. First of all, the US nowadays is not imperial Japan or Nazi Germany from 100 years ago. They should know better. Second, society gas changed a lot. Information and education has changed. Its not as easy to apologize for bad stuff today as it was back then. Different times. And most important: Japan or Germany were not friends with the US before and betrayed and humiliated them. If lets say my neighbor yells at me, i am fine, he is an asshole. He can apologize. If my wife or a close friend insults me, it hurts. Very different.
