The idea was to weaken it further by encouraging the Kremlin to divert troops into Asia. However, despite the material damage suffered – the USSR absorbed the losses and due to it Socialist system – was able to recover in a remarkably short-time. In just three-months of defeating the Nazi Germans – the war-weary Soviet Red Army was restructured, re-trained, and re-armed. However, the Soviets requested help from Socialist Mongolia – which was granted (Mongolia had not been involved in WWII). The Soviet Red Army entered Manchuria alongside the People’s Army of Socialist Mongolia which assisted in the destruction of he occupying Imperial Japanese. Due to the post-1945 US policy of placating a defeated Japan – Japan has not had to acknowledge, apologise, or make amends for the War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity its forces committed in China (and Asia) between 1931-1945. Today, Japan has followed the US example and elected a far-right leader – who denies War Crimes and sends tributes to the shrines dedicated to Japan’s historical War Criminals (Yes – the Americans permitted the establishment of these hideous entities). Japanese behaviour outside of Japan has become ever-more militant, destructive, and unpredictable in recent times. Many believe this fire was deliberate – and that the Japanese leadership is behind it.
