What if Japan looked like this today?

it would be viewed as a quirky oddity in geopolitics like north korea in our timeline

>>17808157 (OP)
Japan would have plentiful oil/gas, semiconductors, nuclear weapons, K-pop, high stakes gambling and strong international finance markets. In short, Japan would be a superpower.

What if Turkey looked like this today?

>>17808158
Far better economic than commie bloc nation

>>17808157 (OP)
Why couldn't they be happy with that?

>>17808838
They were too weak with no strategically important resources.
Big boys like Britain and USA could easily bully them into submission.

>>17808905
They wanted to expand though.

What if Iran looked like this today?

because the world doesn't work like that anymore... Japan is GDP 3rd. It WILL, however, look like that when they start colonising space

>>17808905
Yes, so the better option to have your country reduced to ash and get bullied anyway.

>They were too weak with no strategically important resources.
Hey retard, forgot about gas/oil in Sakhalin and area around Okhotsk?

>>17808709
They would be a Chinese ally and the internet would be full of seething arabs and christians directing their rage at the turks instead of the yt

>>17809019
hey retard, there were no oil reserves in the japanese part of karafuto

They will be a Chinese client state pretty soon when civil war strikes america

Reality check: CCP descend into chaotic warlords 2.0 era

2rd civil war (third British civil war) won’t happen

>>17809046
>They would be a Chinese ally
>Eastern Turkestan issue
Nice joke

>>17809906
>>Eastern Turkestan issue
There is no issue. Big Han Cock is breeding young turkic girls and creating a hybrid breed genetically crafted for modeling and beauty.

Literally zero muslim nations give a fuck
Makes more sense than them being Russian or American allies today, their control over oil and the holy cities makes them everyone's target
