Uh, you DO realize that there was this one little thing called World War 2 going on right? One in which the Soviets and Japan ended up on opposite sides? Hitler's decision to invade Russia was "crucified" because in didn't work and ended up backfiring, not because it was dishonorable.

I'm also not sure what's "hard to swallow" about piling on Japan, it was a world war, not a game of Risk, especially considering Imperial Japan being the aggressor and its brutality throughout the war.
