re: Japanese Reporter: Why didn't you tell us before you struck Iran?

That ladies earring next him looked like he had jizz dangling from his chin.

Our board lefties looking to download this one.

I’m confused.

1) We (USA and Japan) are on the same side in this one.
2) We (USA) are asking for their (allies) assistance.

Educate me. I don’t follow this stuff much.

It's called humor. It this thing where you make a joke to make people laugh.

I was watching when he said that. Classic Trump and I loved it.

As much as I disagree with him doing Israels bidding, I have to say he's got good comedic timing.

We didn't attack Iran at Israel's bidding - we did it for the petrodollar.

And frick Japan if they're offended about a Pearl Harbor joke. And yes they DID get off easy in comparison to Germany for WWII:
1) Japan did a frick load more awful vile shite to civilians and POWs than Germany ever did. And yes I AM including the entire holocaust.
2) Japan got to keep their precious Emperor but only because we were very afraid that we'd have to fight against a terrible insurgency if we did anything to him. He also wasn't the poor little innocent who helplessly went along with the military in decisions. He was a willing participant in every decision Japan made - including attacking the US at Pearl.
3) The nukes were viewed at the time as just being really large bombs and we felt that dropping them on Japan was better than perhaps losing half a million more American lives just to invade their home islands.
4) frick the Japanese people - yes they were heavily propagandized about the war effort (much like the German people were in Germany) but the Japanese people were racist as hell and fully knew very fricking well what they were doing by getting into the war. The Pacific war was THEIR fault (even accounting for the US actions leading up to the war including our sanctions, etc.).

Honestly, what the hell is the wrong with this board sometimes?

I don’t think people understand the scope of death and destruction that occurred in Japan.

Two atom bombs and the bombing of Tokyo killed 500,000 people. The lucky 160,000 died nearly instantly from the atom bombs. The rest either burned to death in Tokyo and radiation poisoning over the course of a year.

So we've built these atomic bombs (at HUGE expense) and we're *NOT* going to use them to end the most destructive war in human history because we're concerned about killing the citizens of a country that attacked us in cold blood? Are you kidding???

frick the japs. They got off way too easy compared to the other Axis countries.

They became among our staunchest and most reliable allies for a time. Drifted a little for a bit, but they're coming around with their new based PM like they did under Abe.

I like their people and appreciate their culture.

You wanna talk about all the atrocities that they did in WW2??

very few...very few people know what the Japanese did prior to being neutered by the A-bomb. They were horrendous throughout their history. They have been great allies since. But the inhumane experiments they have done should not be forgotten. That was the main reason the A-bomb was used. It was a deterrent for the civilization they would only give up to a higher power. It's close to the Arab nations. The people would only give up to a power bigger than they have ever thought of.
