Oh brother!

I can't imagine this is going to go over too well anywhere else in the world. Just shows the US doesn't have a market on borderline brain damaged politicians.

 

Although, it isn't like they haven't done this before. I am not sure if this is still true today, but not so long ago, there was almost no mention of the atrocities in China perpetrated by the IJA in the early 1930's. Ah well, I guess if we ignore/deny, it'll all go away, right?

 

I may have to read up on this neo nationalist party rising in Japan, I can't see anything bad happening from that. No sir...

The guy doesn't have a clue. Not one. The Japanese couldn't even FEED their soldiers in more than a few places. The idea that "comfort women" were necessary for discipline but food wasn't is completely ignorant.

Sure -- necessary for soliders who wanted to get laid. But the cost to the women forced to provide those services obviously outweighs the soliders' desires by a very large margin.

 

Incredibly stupid thing to say. He's almost qualified to be Obama's Vice President.

Even WITH the Holocaust, in WW2 the Japs made the Nazis look !@#$ing civilized in comparison.
