  1. Oh quick…, an ally we haven’t started a fight with yet.

  2. Trump is like King Midas, except everything he touches turns to shit.

  3. Imagine what The biggest economy in the world could have been if it wasn’t treated so unfairly lol…….

  4. Wow, he doesn’t rest for a min…😅

    Seems a golf vacation for a few days could save the world!

  7. For Trump, “uneven” means anything that doesn’t benefit him and only him.

    Trump inherently doesn’t believe in the “win/win” scenario. In his mind, he has to win, and everyone has to unequivocally lose. To his eyes, literally *anything* else is “unfair”.

  8. He’s really is going through one ally after another. It’s like he speed running to earn the most ire from US allies.

  9. Comrade donnie is playing a weird game of Monopoly with his controller, Putler. The Asset is given a card, just like a bone to a dog, and told by Stalin errr Putler to go to the next country and sic em.

  11. Japan has been toying with the idea of ditching their pacifist Constitution for quite some time now. If Trump is not careful, he may end up with a rapidly militarized Japan.

  13. Because obviously what the US wants is Japan to rearm and look out for their own interests in the Pacific.

    Like really, this dude is working the hardest to unwin WWII.

  14. Who wants to join a pool on Taiwan?

    I got 2027 with no direct US assistance 

  15. Pretty goofy thing to say when there’s still a good number of Japanese folks who view the security agreement as essentially being American occupation. I’m not sure on a lot of the details of that agreement but I imagine the Japanese are the ones who’d have more grounds to call it a bad arrangement.

  16. “My good friend in North Korea is a good guy. You guys in South Korea are not very good friends. We will withdraw our troops there if you don’t pay. Also, sell Samsung to Elon now.”

  17. “Uneven”

    Brother we made them disband their entire military so that we could occupy them and use their island as an aircraft carrier. They are disarmed and reliant on us because we, the United States, rewrote their constitution so that they could not rearm.

    Picking a fight with the Europeans is one thing. The way he’s going about it is stupid but aside from the UK and Poland most of NATO has been behind on their defense spending per the treaty terms. But *we made Japan this way.* God.

  20. Does he think Japan should protect the US? Like wtf does that even mean.

  21. On one hand, Japanese general public doesn’t like it either, thinking it as occupation.

    On the other hand, if Trump pull out, Japan and Korea better work something out. Maybe Taiwan can work as middle man… ah crap.

  22. Trump is surrounded by yes men, which enable him to say outlandish remarks… I wonder if he realized that his son is draft age. Oh, that’s right. When the rich wage war, it’s the poor that pay…” I ain’t no senators, son.”

  23. Crazy how Russia was able to put an asset as our fucking president. Talk about winning the cold war.

  24. Hey america give the statue of liberty back to France. You’re no longer the greatest nation for freedom and democracy

  25. ANY security treaty with Japan benefits the US because it allows you to start repelling a Chinese-Russian invasion near Japan rather than at Pearl Harbor, you stupid fart.

  26. He’s going to destroy America, there will be no allies left.

  27. Trump realized America has allies he hasn’t fucked over yet and is now working to change that. Exactly as a Russian asset would. 

    I’m sure South Korea will also become targets of his bullshit in the next few days because Russia doesn’t like them. If Trump also targets Taiwan, Australia, and the Philippines it means Xi bribed him as well.

  28. So again I ask, if a Russian asset had been elected POTUS, how would they behave differently than Donald Trump?

  29. You mean Japan, who by the terms of WWII surrender are not allowed to have an offensive military per the USA?

    The constitution written by the US and Article 9 which says that:

    * **War Renunciation:** Japan renounced war as a means of settling international disputes.
    * **Prohibition on Armed Forces:** Japan pledged not to maintain land, sea, or air forces or any war potential.
    * **No Right of Belligerency:** Japan gave up the sovereign right to wage war.

    Also, the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty (1951, revised in 1960), which allowed the U.S. to maintain military bases in Japan and pledged American protection in exchange for Japan’s *continued limitation on military expansion*.

    Of course Trump has no idea about any of this and wouldn’t respect it if he did.

  30. Far out. Destroy 80 years of alliance building in 90 days

  32. There’s a reason Japan doesn’t maintain a standing army the same way other countries do, it was one of the terms of their surrender in WW2, to the US.

    They have the Japanese Self-Defense Force, but their constitution explicitly prohibits it from being used in international conflicts.

  33. He’s got a point! Japan should totally set up some military bases in Texas. Maybe roll some tanks through Times Square. Add harrasing American women to the mix. You know… for balance!
