The fact this man is our ambassador to Japan is embarrassing. You should see him try and speak the language. It's cringeworthy even if you don't know Japanese. Unfortunately, I can't find a video of it. To put it this way, he spoke while giving an award at the May 2024 Sumo Tournament. He was summarily ridiculed.

Hire πŸ‘ Weeb πŸ‘ Ambassadors πŸ‘

My point being is that he doesn't know the language at all and someone with familiarity with the local language should be ambassador.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Which is why we need to hire a weeb

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Weebs don't know the language either, they just repeat memes from anime.

I mean, he was a on the Board of Directors for Freddie Mac when they had a bunch of 'accounting irregularities' in the early 2000's (Clinton appointed him there after he was an advisor to Billy boy)

He's been sleazing around for a loooong time

Sorry we like dropped two atomic bombs on you while you were peacefully surrendering and we're remembered as the good guys.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It was justified. We had to kill all those civilians to threaten the USSR!

[–] nomorehalfmeasureswalter@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If the USSR dropped the bomb it would have been justified

I know they picked civilians-only cities to drop the bombs cuz [white noise screeches], and their priority was for Japan to surrender to the US instead of to the URSS, which coincided with what Imperial Japan wanted. And I also know the nuclear bombings weren't immediately reported as anomaly cuz conventional bombing campaigns caused similar immediate results

That said,

I always wondered if they could have dropped the bomb in the sea in front of Tokio so the capital would see the fungus, feel the heat blast and the mild tsunami but without civilian casualties; and so scare them into immediate surrender without doing a massive war crime

Link to article

Emanuel will not attend the event because it was β€œpoliticized” by Nagasaki’s decision not to invite Israel, the embassy said.

Smh, can't believe the wokesters made the atomic bomb political.

Also, I thought this was just Rahm Emanuel being unable to contain his assholery even when given a sinecure like the Japanese ambassadorship instead of just doing a J-drama dance like JFK's daughter (she's the one in the Santa suit), but apparently the rest of the G7 + the EU are doing the same:

Nagasaki Mayor Shiro Suzuki on Thursday said his decision not to invite Israel is unchanged despite **announcements by the U.S. and five other Group of Seven countries and the European Union that they will send lower-ranked envoys instead of ambassadors to the ceremony.

Ban any nation with nuclear weapons. Including Israel. Also double ban Israel cause they're Israel.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Japan shouldn't be invited either

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/22/obama-japan-hiroshima-interview-no-apology

Everyone expected obama to apologize in 2016 but they explicitly stated that he wouldn't

I mean if they apologized thats saying that a nuclear first strike is wrong and the US will never abandon that policy
