Japan was never a lucrative trade partner of the United States, but the Europeans were. FDR imposed embargoes on oil and steel shipments to Japan to hold them in check while he focused on his "Hitler first" policies.Like I said, have it your way.
I suggest you read At Dawn We Slept then consider your options.

According to my father, who was a pilot during WW II, the Japanese had sharpened untold numbers of spears for the expected American invasion. They were armed and prepared to fight to the last man, woman and child. The only thing that saved millions of lives was the atomic bomb, which quickly ended the war in the east and also helped Truman focus on the European front.

Um, actually, Germany surrendered first. The Japanese surrender was the last act of WWII. There was no 'European front' at that time, just a shattered continent full of very hungry and homeless people.

I suppose the Japanese were goaded into attacking China, and the Phillippines and all their other targets in Asia. Their list of war crimes makes the Nazis look like pikers.

No... Their camps in Manchuria... Where they experimented and butchered untold numbers are by far the worst....
Nanjing was a spat of rape, looting and butchery in comparison...

Loathe? No...
Despise and hate...Yes...
Every time one of the Japanese PM's goes to visit a shrine dedicated to a war criminal and honor the deeds of those sick bastards the entire country goes insane...
I love that the SK government erected a monument to "comfort women" outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul...
There are times when it is not safe to be Japanese in China... Scary...

I have to say the Japanese brought it on themselves. Anyone who thinks the US is racist should become familiar with Japan.
