Washington: US President Barack Obama has refused to apologise for the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on his landmark visit to Japan this week, saying, 'during war we make all kinds of decisions'.
In an interview with Japanese public boradcaster NHK, US president said, "It’s important to recognize that in the midst of war, leaders make all kinds of decisions, it’s a job of historians to ask questions and examine them.”
“But I know, as somebody who’s now sat in this position for the last seven and half years, that every leader makes very difficult decisions, particularly during wartime.”
Obama said his visit to Hiroshima, the first city to suffer an atomic bombing, would emphasize friendly ties between former enemies.
Obama will become the first sitting US president to tour the site of the world’s first nuclear bombing this Friday, accompanied by Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe.
Did somebody give him a shot of testosterone in the ass or what?
I mean, I figure it's just his Commie hatred of the old enemy (and his ingrained black racism towards Asians) but still. He's never this based normally. What is he up to?
Levi Sullivan
BASED
Cameron Williams
He tried to apologize but the Japanese government told him to shut his baboon mouth
Brody Nguyen
Between this and the tariffs on China he pushed through on Thursday...what the fuck is going on? Where has this guy been for the past 8 years? Did he just realize now that he doesn't have to get re-elected anymore?
Nathan Lewis
He's doing what Abe told him to do to prevent US/Japan relations from being fucked up. Imagine the harm that would be done if he apologized
Noah Butler
And why would he, or anyone else for that matter? It ended the war.
Logan Gonzalez
Proof??
Jacob Gomez
He wanted to apologize like the cuck he is but Abe-san said not to because it will make the our alliance look weak.
He realizes Trump is going to be elected so he's trying to save whatever relevancy he has going forward.
Dominic Harris
Occasionally Obama does something based.
Adrian Bailey
Maybe I'm retarded, but how would this hurt our relations?
Jaxson Morgan
This. I heard the same thing before he even visited.
Angel James
72% of the survivors don't want one, and have said they'd rather he focus on ridding the world of nukes.
How many times is Sup Forums going to have this thread today?
Daniel King
he's in a desperate race to do as much shit as he can. a bucket list of firsts he can shout and shitpost in the hopes something sticks and he's not remembers in the books as "that shitty president who created the worst international image the US had in decades while creating the worst racial divide since the 60s"
And the only reason he's not apologizing is because when he tried to do it weeks ago, the Japanese government told him to fuck off.
Nathan Foster
SORRY JAPAN FOR THIS JACKASS IT'S THE TRUTH JAPAN DOESN'T WANT TO FUCK UP RELATIONS YOU FUCKING IDIOTS NEED TO SHUT YOUR GOD DAMN MOUTHS TOO LEAVE MY SWEET JAPAN ALONE!
Jacob Mitchell
The ones holding his leash are desperately trying to make the left imitate Trump because they know the tides have turned and the left has found itself chained to a rock at low tide
Dylan Diaz
It was in the leaked diplomatic cables thing years ago, he tried to do it during his first term and the Japanese government said up yours nigger
Camden Johnson
Then it makes it look like America actually did anything wrong
Caleb Gutierrez
Link?
Austin Bennett
It would piss off Americans and make a backlash against Japan in US public opinion, and it would also result in a lot of people ripping open old war crimes issues, basically like kicking an old wound that has mostly but not quite healed. better for everyone just to leave it the fuck alone, it is a potentially very polarizing issue and nobody needs or wants that now
Christopher Brooks
Sounds like you need another nuke as reminder, where do you want it this time?
Logan Gonzalez
please go look for it yourself, a simple google search should find it, I'm going off of memory and I'm posting from the toilet at work so am out of time
Xavier Campbell
Oh ok, good points btw thanks.
Nathan Cook
In Berlin
Lucas Long
Lol were you retards actually expecting him to apoligize?
Alexander Turner
kek'd
Eli White
If we didn't bomb them we would have invaded by land.
If we invaded by land we would have had the Soviets help us.
If the Soviets helped us, they would have wanted to split Japan down the middle with us.
By bombing them, we avoided that. This is why they don't want us to apologize.
Easton Hall
japan based as fuck you tell that germnigger what what japan
Kayden Murphy
Lest we look into why the bombs were dropped in the first place.
Asher Wood
...
Cooper Lopez
I think both sides recognize that the bombing was a necessary, but regrettable action, but also that it was more than 70 years ago and no one benefits from opening old wounds.
Tyler Walker
japan here
personally i demand an apology.
Dylan Davis
>ridding the world of nukes
good luck with that heroic quest, adventure-japan-kun
Juan Gonzalez
Sorry we nuked you instead of putting millions of white men on your shores and ravaging your women.
Just imagine if canada had nuked you instead Trudeau would probably be on his way there in a kimono right now
Ryan Wright
Pro tip. People posting from japan arent japanese
Lucas Hall
I know there's at least one real nip on this board
Luis Howard
He's not here though
Sebastian Diaz
May Japan shake off American imperialism and return to greatness once more.
Justin King
>Japan >Great At constructing artifical reefs, maybe.
Connor Martin
It was one of Obama's things, but he's done a 180 to have a dick measuring contest with Russia
Brandon Rivera
Don't need nukes for him to play dress-up.
John Cox
...
Alexander Perry
kill all weebs
Hudson Hughes
.
Ryan Jackson
Good, Imperial Japan was evil as fuck. They deserved it.
Also didn't the firebombings kill more people?
Justin Green
If I was President I would apologize to Japanごめなさい, but nuke Israel, Mecca and all of Africa. This is the only solution. Obama is a gay nigger neocon terrorist.
Robert Smith
Good. Nip fucks won't even RECOGNIZE, much less APOLOGIZE for Nanking, Unit 731 and killing POW's, so we won't apologize either for glassing two of their cities and bringing them to heel.
Hell, if we didn't intervene with those nukes, Russia would've moved in and implanted a communist government, making Japan a shriveled breadline shit state instead of the economic power it is today. Every Nip should grovel at our feet and apologize to US.
Jason Adams
...
Nicholas Powell
North Korea is best Korea. North Japan would have been best Japan.
>thinks WWII was a good war
why are these people on pol?
Camden Sullivan
>Nanking.
Usually it's just controversy over how many were killed. China cries muh 6 gorillian over it, but won't allow joint investigations.
>Unit 731
I wonder who pardoned them for their research...
Kayden Ortiz
>goes to Japan with intent to apologize >JK I changed my mind >Wow I'm such a good president
Fuck this nigger
Hudson Myers
Why can't he just go to Obama-town, they'd lose their minds.
Mason Russell
ichiban bantsu
Grayson Wilson
Do you guys still squat?
William Diaz
uh-no. president uhbama is not ,uh, based
Brody Phillips
not based. but i do like the 'don't give a fuck' attitude he's had the last few months. telling the reporter to fuck off at the cuban baseball game was the start
Luis Flores
We used the research, but you're the ones who did the deed. Despite your goalpost moving, there is a huge difference.
A P O L O G I Z E
Austin Foster
>Wants whites to apologize for slavery. >Won't apologize for dropping 2 nukes.
Adrian Flores
No.
And even then you still needed to do the Tuskagee experiments?
Elijah Martin
Good. Apologies make you weak and do nothing to strengthen our alliance with Japan.
Only chinks and gooks will be angry at no apology.
Easton Reyes
...
Jaxon Wright
Why would you apologize for what someone else did?
Jaxon Nelson
Nothing about him killing the head of talibans?
Jack Stewart
Who gives a shit? Honestly it was in the 1940s, its 2016. We good now
Logan Reed
We let the whole China thing go[and honestly you Japs could have thinned them out a little more] and y'all forgave the nuke things. Seems fine to me
Easton Martinez
I'm surprised.
This is the same faggot that bowed to islamic cunts. Even Jewie Sanders says he's going to apologize for something that happened hundreds of years ago.
Jack White
yeah really, no ones asking Germans for their forgiveness for killing a bumfuck amount of jews. Mostly cuz the only people who were even alive during WWII are in retirement homes. We a completely new generation, an apology would do nothing since barely anyone alive right now was directly affected by it
