Very strange things are going on in Japan, worth keeping an eye on.

    Huh....didn't know that that memorial was a thing or that we were invited; why on earth would you invite the criminals who conducted it?

      And imagine the hubris of said war criminals not attending, because their other war criminal buddies were not invited.

      From what I have gathered Japan has been very subservient to the US since WW2 end. They had become an American vassal state and America had significant control over them. Even stuff like anime and manga were censored when they contained explicit anti-war themes.

    Japan should align with China, you know, assuming China wants them. They probably need to apologise for all their warcrimes first.

      Japanese leadership would probably rather have every inch of Japan be scorched in nuclear fire then admit to one warcrime. Let alone apologize for it.

      You're right. But I feel like the right wing really doesn't want to do that. People with cushy jobs have grandfathers who committed war crimes.

      Pigs will fly on the moon before that happens. Those two nations have hatred for each other that goes back centuries.

    Why doesn't Godzilla just fucking atomize the whole embassy at this point? Is he stupid?

    Honestly, I unironically can't take people like this anymore...

      It's also crazy that Obama gave someone who is essentially a racial supremacist so much influence. May be not crazy, when you remember Obama is and was an opportunist.
