Not only is this... perhaps one of the most insulting things you could possibly say, so insulting that ... basically every extremely formally well-mannered Japanese politician or attache in that room actually completely lost their composure...
Why Donald, WHY WAS IT that Japan did a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor?
Was it maybe because, I don't fucking know... they didn't have sufficient access to oil resources?!
I want to beat Trump to death with a phone book.
God fucking damnit.
... This unimaginable shitstain needs to be fed his own teeth, through his nose.
I've met an ex-Yakuza once.
Had an interesting night at a bar once, we bonded over martial arts.
... I can only imagine his reaction to this.
Wait wait I thought I was the only person on here who knew about the oil embargo
No I remembered. It'll be really funny if it turns out America's oil-motivated sneak attack is how the giant ultimately goes back to sleep. I could see this disaster unfolding with the winding down of the military industrial complex following a massive economic collapse and the loss of status as world reserve currency, so it's not the silliest hypothetical I can cook up.
