    This is the part of this that is such a political faux pas. Japan does not consider Pearl Harbor a surprise attack, and their nationalist movement right now probably won’t be happy to have their favorite PM be the whipping boy of the US president. I won’t say Japan is right on this, but it’s just the difference in how this story is presented.

    Good riddance, hopefully this creates an awful situation for her politically at home as she is pushed leftward or rightward in retaliation.

      For all their strongman posturing, I feel the Japanese nationalists take whatever US rhetoric up their uncensored buttholes. They’re always belittling Chinese and Korean people but seem to scurry away into their caves whenever there is a conflict with the US.
