Since like half of the comments are saying this was racist can anyone explain how?
Genuinely what the fuck are you guys on about. I would understand if she was an ethnically Japanese leader/diplomat from Brazil or something but what. So obsessed with race that you forgot Japan is a country?
It’s a stupid deflection but it’s not racist. The thought process is pretty obvious ‘Why didn’t you tell Japan before the attack’ -> ‘To keep the element of surprise’ uhh Japan + Surprise attack -> ‘Who know’s better than Japan about the value of stealth for a surprise attack, like pearl harbor’.
He just doesn’t even have the capacity to coherently make the bad comparison. He also completely whiffed the cadence of the joke he was trying to make causing it to come out even weirder. It’s a brain in decline trying to fall in to patterns that it used to be able to somewhat execute on but is now just grasping at straws.
*thing bad, so anything negative about thing must be correct and must not be questioned. I hate lemmy sometimes.
Yeah people make fun of ww2 germany all the time and it’s totally fine
You disagree with his comment being racist? Well since you’re not with us, you’re against us! There’s no middle ground, no nuance and no discourse in this community!
Guess his joke bombed.
This guy needs to be put down like a rabid dog.
Not according to republicans and the GOP that controls them.
Trump is dump.
The biggest buyer of US debt everyone. Lucky for Trump she’s a boot licker.
Japan has been known to fire/jail their PMs so she might be pushed to do something like sell-off their US bonds.
Joke!? Motherfuckers get the hell out of here with that. It was an insult.
He lowered the bar to the ground & then went at it with a shovel. Ooooo dayumn.
Meh both are fascist. The Japanese government and the Japanese in general are tone deaf to be fair. They just happen to receive their own medicine.
anything to keep epstein files from the news, by having TRUMP being a clown
Time for Japan to dump their 1 trillion in US bonds. That’ll be worse than Pearl Harbor for them.
Japan is like the rest of the world, they bought into the idea US was too big to fail. You can’t just “dump” $1T in bonds.
BRICS replacing USD is like how we declare every year the year of the linux desktop lol.
When USD goes down, its gonna bring down the world with it
lol.Alternatively we can transition to the Eurodollar, which some people trade with already.
yeah that was super hilarious never has a double lol been more appropriate you should be a comedian
lol
lol
…lol ☹️
It was the only one that survived along with lmao
RIP roflcopter
Haha
The dementia really reduces the inhibitions, doesn’t it?
The USA has never felt shame for dropping two nuclear bombs on civilians without warning. Which is why it is likely to happen in the Middle East.
shame? the usa is fucking proud of it.
I can’t think of a bigger war crime in human history.
ITT: Lemmites Letting the mask slip
People can find it funny for several reasons, some may be laughing at the pure stupidity of comparing the two. I would say we have seen few countries Trump considers allies. And Russia, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia seem to be the only 3 re-occuring allies he seems to consider.
And Russia, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia
Which one of these is Israel?
Touche, I’m not sure I can tell the difference between Israel and Florida at the moment, Israel gets more benefits than Florida does though
And Argentina lmao
Stop making vertical territories. Just stop it. If it’s a long skinny shape on a map, it shouldn’t exist.
All countries should be hexagon shaped for mathematical elegance!
I mean, out of all the heinous fascistic shit Trump has done, this is probably among the least egregious. Plus as a dark comedy enjoyer, I can appreciate this on a “who the fuck starts a conversation like that; I just sat down” sort of level.
If this is what makes you clutch your pearls then you are going to audibly gasp at all the other shit Trump has said.
This is pretty harmless, especially by his standards.
I don’t see a problem laughing at this.
Nobody is mentioning he said why didn’t you warn me.
I caught that too and was flabbergasted.
