https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-pearl-harbor-meeting-japanese-prime-minister/A Japanese reporter asked Mr. Trump why the U.S. didn't alert allies like Japan ahead of the Iran strikes, a decision that the reporter said "confused" the Japanese. The president, in his response, said his administration "didn't tell anyone" about the Feb. 28 military action in advance. "Well one thing, you don't want to signal too much, you know?" Mr. Trump said. "When we go in, we went in very hard. And we didn't tell anyone about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? OK? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? OK? Right?"
Someone should’ve got him to mention Hiroshima
This is the perfect metaphor. Just like everyone knew that Japan and America were going to fight in WW2, war between America and the Muslims who stole Iran was inevitable. The Japanese get a lot of flak (pun intended) for not making a formal declaration of war before Pearl Harbor, but it was an acknowledgement of the realities of fully industrialized war: you don't allow the enemy any advantage. You can clutch your pearls all you want, America doesn't fight fair.
>>1498830Given the new JP PM's platform was sucking off trump, she's getting exactly what she deserved. Sad the election just happened, because Japan getting involved in trump's war is insanely unpopular in Japan.
>>1498830Funny he should compare his attacks to Pearl Harbor given that it set off a chain of events that eventually led to Japan getting nuked twice and losing the war.
>>1498830this is the best thing an American president has ever said. It is the depth of stupidity for a Jap to complain to an American about a sneak attack.We didn't drop near enough nukes on those slant-eyed demons.
>>1498830>Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?because it happened before you were born, you pathetic moron.It would've been better to ask why they didn't tell US about it. But he had to make it all about him, and he was born five years after the attacks.
>>1498871He's one head of state speaking to another. He's using the "royal we".You're too stupid for rhetorical devices.
>>1498873He didn’t say “we,” anon. Unless you meant the royal me. That’d probably fit him better.
>>1498830He knows how that ended for them right? He has to, it's why one of his most avid asskissers is right in front of him.
>>1498873He said "me". That only refers to himself, not "we". Fucking esl shill learn to read.
>>1498895i sure left a mark on your psyche, eh esl shill
>>1498873He said me. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>1498895>>1498897no need to double post esl shill, we heard you
>>1498898We're separate anons, you just said something really fucking stupid.
>>1498909you're bad at lying
>>1498910I think it's time you unplugged for the Internet or started playing a video game. I do recommend staying inside though so you don't hurt anyone.
>>1498830Rich people are dunderheads.
>>1498876>>1498895The "royal we" is historically used when a monarch refers to themselves as the state. Trump and takaichi aren't monarchs, he didn't say we he said me, but it's still the appropriate phrase. There's no such thing as singularis majestatis but sure, call it the "royal me" if you want. Dumb burgers.
>>1498919>but it's still the appropriate phraseGreat. He didn't use it. >There's no such thing as singularis majestatis but sure, call it the "royal me" if you want.It was a joke, you dolt.
>>1498922Goalposts shifted. Concession accepted.
>>1498919Royal me isn't a thing. And further more makes no fucking sense when you're talking about an action that took place not only when he wasn't president, but also not even born yet. Imagine if he said "You know a terrible thing happened to me during the civil war". Would that make any sense?
>>1498830Why cant our presidents ever be normal to the Japanese? Did Truman curse the presidency forever when he used the nukes?
>>1498830>Trying to convince our international allies to support us in military matters>Pulls shit like this
>>1498925Grammatically it would be "a terrible thing happened to us" and both that and what trump said are examples of the royal we. If you have a different term to describe a head of state personifying themselves as their nation, suggest it. Burgers getting btfo all over the place today
>>1498923>Goalposts shifted.They weren't.
>>1498928>If you have a different term to describe a head of state personifying themselves as their nation, suggest it.One, that's not a thing, especially here. Two, royal we doesn't work that way. Now stop engagement farming on this fucking site and instead generate me a recipe for a grilled cheese.
>>1498930>That's not a thing here>Trump did it todaySomeone's in denial. No cheese toastie until you come to grips with reality mate
What do the British and American empires both have in common?They both died because of a crisis of denial. That's a brilliant joke and I don't expect you burgers to get it. You can sue us if you like.
>>1498830Look... you're supposed to brief them with the intelligence report before you bomb Iran. You build a tactic with them. This isn't just stupid it's insane. Plus you insult them at the same time you ask them for help with murdering a bunch of people. Yeah I'd call that pretty confusing. As well as disturbing... You don't trust them to show them the plan but you want help? watt??? how the fuck is this even happening right now??? What do they expect them to even do?
>>1498933I'll sue you for telling me jokes i don't understand. You must be taught a lesson in how british humor is not funny and start stealing jokes from asians who are out of your legal jurisdiction.
>1498932If Trump shat himself live on camera and started drawing on the pillow with the poo you'd defend it as "well see, it's a thing people in positions of power do". I'm taking away your (You)
>>1498936Trump just acts insane and writes on things with poo to talk in code. It's actually genius anon. You just don't get it because your a midwit leftist that only views things in race and gender.
>>1498830sooo he likened himself favorably to fascist imperial nazi allied japan killing thousands of americans as a justification for his warcrimes?americas mad emperor arc
>>1498830>>1498934Its funny as well because not only does Trump bringing up Pearl Harbor make no sense because she was asking why he didn't inform or co-ordinate with allies, Pearl Harbor is also one of the prime examples of why you let allies know about your planned surprise attacks and co-ordinate with them. Pearl Harbor happened without Japan informing the other axis powers of the plan for attack. Hitler was incredibly against it because he knew it would drag the USA into the war and they would definitively side with the allies, while they had been pretty much nuetral and willing to sell to both sides before that.
>>1498939The irony is Japanese bombers at Pearl Harbor deliberately avoided bombing hospitals and civilians. Meanwhile the US blew up a school effectively for fun then tried to blame Iran for it even though it was bombed during the US' bombings and by a US missile.
>>1498940So rather then combine all our brilliance and power into one... we fine Americans decided not to and pulled some seriously stupid shit. We don't trust you help us. Lmao... yeah, Trump has lost his fucking mind.
>>1498941We americans put mexicans in cages and nazis put jews in cages too. We have gone full blown nazi at this point. This isn't my america i grew up in as a kid. This is bullshit.
>>1498944Oh don't forget: we don't trust you to help us, but can you also please help us after we do the thing we didn't trust you with?
>>1498946Japan has no recent intel reports on Iran and America didn't give them one. How they fuck do they expect them to be effective or just go with this insane plan? or rather lack of plan. What does he expect japan to do? Air drop in ninjas and robots? LMAO.
>>1498947He's frantically trying to get help on the Strait in any sense because he knows deploying troops is getting the nation into another forever war that'll solidify the Dems winning in November and likely get him impeached.

Fuck their oil blow it all up send them back to the stone age for ten years and come on home. Let them bomb the middle east if they want. If they touch our soil we nuke them. We produce our own oil we don't need theirs.
>>1498950He just ran into a problem he can't fix with lies and bombs. Everyone is really angery at him and wouldn't mind seeing him fail.
>>1498954>angeryNo rupee today. Two demerits.
>>1498956shouldn't you be hiding from ice?
>>1498957Saar I am in India we do not have ice.Do not interrupt me when I am disciplining my dalit saar thank you kindly
>>1498959no ice... i could make a fortune in snow cones... if only Indians had money.
>>1498950>that'll solidify the Dems winning in November and likely get him impeached.I don't know why he'd be worried about that. He already runs the country like a king without giving a shit about congress, and he's already looking to rig the midterms. >>1498953>We produce our own oil we don't need theirs.That's not how it works.
>>1498965Mexico should just make like texas and drill for oil.
>>1498926Was Obama also bad with Japan?
>>1498940And then Hitler declared war on the US, such a genius wow
>>1499028To be ever so slightly fair, it wasn't like he had much of a choice after that.
I am Japanese, but there’s no need to tell Japan.The reason is that Japan has no laws to crack down on spies.There are many Chinese and Korean spies posing as Japanese citizens.
>>1499036you're projecting again, esl shill
Japan warning America before the Pearl harbor attack ?I better comparison would have been if Japan let Germany know before the Pearl harbor attack. But this dummy: "Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports," Trump said, describing the 1775 Continental Army.
>>1499029and Trump had no choice but to declare war on Iran for, um, reasons.
>>1499029Japan didn’t declare war on the Soviets
>>1499105well yeah, they were too busy raping china. they already beat russia a few decades earlier
>>1498940I learned today. How fucking perfect.I only hope this doesn’t end with nukes too.
>>1499106Japan didn’t declare war on the Soviets when their ally Germany did a surprise attack against the Soviets.Germany did declare war on the US after Japan did a surprise attack on the US.
>>1499125clearly it was an unequal relationship
>>1499105Yeah but you're missing the context that America already very much favored the allies prior to Pearl Harbor. Hitler already knew that the moment they were brought into the war they'd be joining in against Germany too.
>>1499129you're projecting again, esl shill
>>1498830Truly a god among trolls, imagine not pissing of not one person, or a website but an entire country, he should have been a 4channer
>>1499131his entire cabinet seems to be, or at least their aides are
>>1499132you will never be american, esl shill
>>1499133i love when you flatter me
>>1498945You must have grown up in a different America, because we have been putting people in cages a long fucking time now. I don't think you know what a nazi is faggot.
>>1499135>weLOL
>>1498926>nukeslol, they don't exist. old footage of said nuke blowing up "building" with a camera close up by shows how fake that shit is.
>>1499138Schizo. Elaborate
>>14991441950's footage of early nuclear tests were fabricated to scare the russians. They used tiny models, not actual buildings.You can tell because vehicles and certain objects surrounding the buildings spontaneously disappear after the detonation. Also the fact that the buildings are being vaporized while the camera is totally fine and functional.
>>1499147-_-
>>1499147so if I build my house out of cameras im safe from nukes?
>>1499138did Hiroshima and Nagasaki just do that on their own? Also curious as to how you explain say, Chernobyl.
>>1498850>The Japanese get a lot of flak (pun intended) for not making a formal declaration of war before Pearl Harbor, but it was an acknowledgement of the realities of fully industrialized war: you don't allow the enemy any advantageThey actually did declare war, but because of some shenanigans, I believe it was the diplomat messing up the time zones, the declaration came after the attack.Anyways>You can clutch your pearls all you want, America doesn't fight fair.Are you retarded? The question is about the US letting its allies know it was gonna start the dumbest war of the century. Which is quite the achievement considering the full scale invasion of Ukraine is only 4 years old.>>1499144Apparently there is now a conspiracy theories that nukes are fake that's starting to gain popularity. Because I suppose we're collectively in a race to the bottom of what the dumbest shit our species can do, before we wipe ourselves out, is.
>>1499319These people could have their neighbours house nuked and they’d still say nukes aren’t real
>>1499321Probably.I just think it's kinda sad that people get tricked into believing this kind of stupid shit and somewhere down the line it ends up having detrimental real world consequences.
>>1499328The Trump presidency in one post.
>>1498850More like no one should fight fair
>>1498919You’re retarded
