  2. Feel for all the places for the US to try and take a moral stance, this just is not it.

  3. Well, that’s pretty juvenile. British Ambassador to Japan Julia Longbottom is also doing the same. They do know you can disagree with something but still show respect right ?

  4. Just because not many might know this, but Rahm Emanuel is a huge asshole. He served during the Obama administration as chief of staff and was quoted as calling those on the left attacking conservative democrats “fucking stupid”.

    He’s a huge entitled prick so I’m not the least surprised by this decision.

  5. As someone from Chicago/Illinois where he was our Representative for a while, Rahm is a cuck.

  6. I wonder if this was an official act authorised by the US government, or whether it is because Rahm Emanuel’s grandfather is Jewish and he has participated in volunteer activities helping the IDF?

    I think this is an important issue that the US needs to clarify.

  7. Why should the states attend A-bomb memorial again? Shouldn’t it just be called payback day across Asia-Pacific?

  8. What a horrid decision to not honour the civilian victims of your country’s weapons of mass destruction

  9. Just so everyone knows, this is CLEARLY the Biden administration’s official position and not Rahm just throwing a hissy fit.

  10. Well they were the ones dropped the a.b. at the first place. I say good riddance, one more less invitation next year it looks like.

  11. the fuck has Israel to do with these memorials?

    Is the US sure there are no other hidden motives behind that? like for example…trying to ignore this historic event?

  12. Pearl Harbor ≠ Nukes

    If these guys don’t understand anything about proportionality then there’s nothing to be done. In fact, I’d argue that unless this is moral batte with Japan is not fought first I don’t see how current moral battes could be won. US never says sorry for nothing. They are always right about everything. They never do mistakes. They are perfect people. C’mon…

  13. Oh yea country that was ally of Hitler didn’t invite Israel what a shock.
    Btw why japan still act like they were victims in that war and not genocide maniacs?

  14. The worst part is that this decision-making would have taken place regardless of whether the president was Trump or Harris.
