Trump invokes Pearl Harbor in talking about launching Iran war The US president was pressed by reporters in the Oval Office to explain why he did not coordinate or inform allies, such as Japan, before launching the war. "We didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise," said Trump, who then said, turning to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK? Right?"
December 7, 1941, is a day that will live in infamy because Japan attacked us without a declaration of war, without warning and during negotiations.
We did that to Iran TWICE
Our president jokes with the Japanese Prime Minister about this.
It is not like the Japanese are EXTREMELY sensitive to any perceived slight.
"Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK? Right?"
Japan: "Pearl Harbor? What's that? Is it one of those fairy tales, like the the Rape of Nanking / Nanjing Massacre?
