the united states is sometimes called israel's greatest ally because it automatically vetoes any measure that isn't in the interest of israel, but today is a different story. a resolution to call for an end to israeli encroachments on palestinean land passed without american protest, marking a new chapter in israeli-american relations. for the record, president obama and israeli prime minister ben netanyahu do not have a good relationship thanks in part to netanyahu's eccentricity and maladroit diplomacy, so this move could be seen as the culmination of diplomatic grievances as well as obama's lameduck power game.
the israeli prime minister has announced that israel will go against UN mandate and defy the resolution.

the japanese military was actually very, very lackluster in ww2
even in the midst of the great depression, the US was still more financially, industrially, and militarily capable of waging war than japan. its numbers may have been large but a supreme lack of disconnect between its branches (a combination of several factors like aging leadership and stagnant military tradition) was its true achilles heel. japan was the first asian country to westernize, so its military was definitely better than that of its neighbors like china and korea (the latter of which japan annexed), but it was still far behind those that existed across the pacific or in europe. japan's lack of resources and industry meant armored units were basically impossible to sustain, and planes were made a rare commodity after the american embargo, so japan's only real saving grace was its navy (which was fairly outdated) and its millions of captured weapons, to which the jingoistic empire used to terrifying effect in battles like iwo jima.
one thing that remains constant between the empire of japan and the japan today is that they simply don't have the resources, economy, or industrial capacity to sustain a protracted conflict. the empire of japan was capable of doing what they did because of an intense campaign of indoctrination and exploitation at home and abroad. japan today cannot do either of those things.
