A U.S. State Department spokesman implicitly criticized Japan, saying, “There should be no country that is not invited to the celebration of Atomic Bomb Day.”

US spokesman’s statement that Nagasaki’s “Atomic Bomb Day” is a “celebration” causes a stir
August 10, 2024 05:00
On the 9th, the “Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Victims Memorial Peace Ceremony” was held at Nagasaki Peace Park in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and others attended. Nagasaki Mayor Suzuki Shiro did not invite the Israeli ambassador to Japan, which meant that ambassadors from the G7 countries other than Japan, including the United States and Britain, as well as the European Union, were absent. The issue of not inviting the Israeli ambassador to Japan has escalated into an international uproar. There was particular shock at the absence of the US ambassador, the country that dropped the atomic bomb. On the same day, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Emanuel attended the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Victims Memorial Service at Zojoji Temple in Tokyo. Israel’s ambassador to Japan, Cohen, and British ambassador to Japan, Longbottom, were also there. The U.S. government has not raised any concerns about Emanuel’s absence from the ceremony. “We thought it was important that the Israeli ambassador be invited, on the same basis as other ambassadors,” State Department spokesman John Miller said. Miller’s press conference has become a hot topic overseas. An exchange between a reporter and Miller about the U.S. ambassador to Japan not attending the ceremony went viral on X (formerly Twitter). Miller reportedly called the Peace Memorial Ceremony a “celebration.” When we asked someone who had studied abroad to listen to the exchange, they said, “Yes, they did say ’celebration.’ As a Japanese person, I feel uncomfortable using the word “celebration” to describe a memorial ceremony.” Just to be sure, I checked the transcript of the press conference on the U.S. State Department’s official website, and it said, “No country should have been singled out of the invitation to this celebration.” By the way, the questioner used “anniversary”, while the official term is “ceremony”. The aforementioned post by X has received questions in English such as, “A celebration?”, “The fact that he called it a celebration shows his position,” and “Why call it a celebration?” Was it a simple slip of the tongue, or had he accidentally blurted out his true feelings?

The truth is that the Soviet Union’s entry into the war was the trigger for the acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration.
After the war, GHQ manipulated public opinion to make it seem as though Japan had lost the will to fight and accepted surrender in order to justify the use of the atomic bomb.

It was the US and the Jews who cheered and applauded when the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, and the patriotic leftists were the ones who reacted negatively to that.

The reason America is invited is because the Japanese are pointing fingers at them. The shameless Americans smile without realizing that they are being laughed at behind their backs. The same goes for the Japan-US Security Treaty. Japan is taking advantage of America.

There were no civilians because the entire nation was essentially a conscripted citizen.
The US has never committed war crimes.

America’s true intentions are obvious when they call it a celebration, and America shouldn’t interfere in other countries’ ceremonies. From next year onwards, don’t complain if we call them Russia and Belarus, America, you’ll just boycott us forever, you civilian massacre country.

The day the atomic bomb was dropped should be remembered forever in history as the day when the superior race, white people, who should have ruled the world, completely took back their hegemony from the yellow monkeys of Asia.
