From mediocre incompetents to outright villains.

Are they also going to block the ships that Iran and Japan agreed could pass through, for example? Are they really going to screw over a strategic ally like Japan just for...? You know what? Yeah, they definitely would.

maybe Japan shouldn't have surprise attacked them on december 1941.

That didn't stop both countries from being allies for several decades, why would you bring that up now?

Japan asked trump why didn't you tell us, your allies that you were going to do this to iran?

He said you didn't tell me about pearl harbor before you struck why would I tell you guys before I did this?

And then all the asshole psychopaths in trumps press room laughed at Japan.

Implying that Japan was actually the US's enemy.
