*Published on 8/10 (Sat) 11:21 Huffington Post Japan The US State Department was questioned about its responsibility as the country that dropped the atomic bomb when the US ambassador to Japan was absent from the Nagasaki Atomic Bombing Memorial Ceremony because Israel had declined to accept the invitation. The exchange took place at a regular press conference held by the U.S. State Department on August 8, the day before the ceremony. At this point, a reporter asked about U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel’s announcement that he would not be attending the ceremony. When a reporter first asked, “Why is it so important for the Israeli ambassador to attend?” Press Secretary Matthew Miller responded: “Ambassadors and representatives of other countries are being invited, so I think it is important that the Israeli ambassador is invited. There should be no case where a particular country is not invited to this ceremony. I believe that is why US Ambassador to Japan Emanuel decided not to attend, and why other countries’ ambassadors have also decided not to attend.” The reporter responded, “In terms of historical responsibility, it goes without saying that America dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki.” Referring to Ambassador Emanuel’s attendance at the Hiroshima ceremony on August 6, he asked, “Isn’t it particularly important that the United States is present at the ceremony?” “Ambassador Emanuel attended the ceremony in Hiroshima,” Miller said. And several US presidents have spoken or attended the memorial service.” “Our position on this, and our respect for Japan with this memorial ceremony, is well-indicated. This is worse than Ambassador Emanuel not even attending this ceremony.” Continued below

>>3 That’s right. Even now, they are treated as a defeated nation, and although they are nominally allied, they are actually treated as a vassal state. The problem is that Japanese politics is content with its current position.

>>9 Well, I think it was to counter Germany, who may have been developing nuclear weapons, and not to drop it on a weakened Japan nearing the end of the war.
>There should be no case where a particular country is not invited to this ceremony. Hmm? Why did you get no reaction when I rejected Russia for that reason?
The US and UK ambassadors laid flowers at a memorial service in Tokyo. If the Nagasaki mayor hadn’t used it for political purposes, they could have laid flowers in Nagasaki too. Why are they using it for political purposes?
While the US has consistently justified the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, President Putin has consistently condemned the US dropping of the bombs and shown sympathy for the victims of the Japanese atomic bombs. That is why many Japanese people support President Putin.
America has many memories of unpleasant wars such as Vietnam (anti-war movement), Iraq (they didn’t have weapons of mass destruction) and Afghanistan (they retreated as if they were being driven out), but the only time America was righteous was during World War II.
>>36 The invasion of Southeast Asia was justified as a means to liberate the Polynesian Hawaiian Islands from the invasion of the Western powers. The attack on Pearl Harbor was justified as a means to liberate the Polynesian Hawaiian Islands from the invasion of the United States. The colonization of the Korean Peninsula and the invasion of China were not justified. These two were really bad moves that ruined the righteous part of Japan. The worst black history in Japanese history.
America made a bad move by not going to Nagasaki this time. I think they were being considerate to the Jews and downplaying the connection between Japan and the atomic bomb. Well, living in Japan, I’m not sure if the Jews are so great that they can be considerate to them…
>There shouldn’t be a situation where a specific country isn’t invited to this ceremony. Didn’t they say not to invite Russia? Or is this a decision made solely by the Japanese government?
There is not a single member of the generation responsible for the atomic bombing left in American politics, so how long will they continue to hang on to this?
Japan was so arrogant that it was only natural that the atomic bomb was dropped on them, so they should stop playing the victim forever and apologize to the international community for getting cocky lol. They got their just reward from the atomic bomb, so why are they insisting on the right to abolish nuclear weapons, you idiots?
At a time when people are saying that the Nankai Trough is a serious problem, there’s no need to go out of our way to invite all these important people from abroad. What will you do if something happens? The Japanese people should mourn sincerely. If the perpetrator country is saying this, it’s the same as what happened in a certain country a while ago. Now that South Korea has a new president, they probably won’t say anything about Japan like they did before. In fact, they have now begun to make impartial statements that there are no numerical problems with the discharge of treated water into the ocean.
