The Japanese will also read The Art of the Deal and see where Trump threw out their kinsman for insulting America...he would not put up with it then as a citizen and he definitely will not put up with it as President.

Certainly, as a mutual form of the traditional Japanese greeting, but then, Japan does not seem as traditional as it used to. But bowing before a Saudi leader as Obama did, when the one to whom he bowed , did not return it, was wrong. And he didn’t just dip, he practically touched the floor with his head. On the other hand, people bow or curtsey to the Queen, and don’t expect her to return the bow. But not like he bowed to that Saudi king. He also bowed very low to the Japanese emperor, in the past. It wouldn’t be such an issue, if he weren’t so weak on the world stage.

The evil in the world is waxing greater. In the past, especially during Reagan’s time, Soros and those of his ilk, were not as involved in politics. Those believers among us, must continue to pray without ceasing, because the enemy is going to try to defeat Trump at every turn. Pray without ceasing! There is a nationwide call to pray for him, every morning ,c,afrom 9:00 a.m. to 9:15. Nothing formal; just do it.

“he will respond in Japanese with “Ha””

Is Shinzo Abe going to apologize the world for Japanese doctors torturing people during WWII? That’s all the world needs to hear from him.

DAMN! Finally a real man in power, no more metrosexuals! What a relief! Abe will, very quickly, appreciate the “SHOGUN” aspects of the Donald. It will remind him (painfully) when Hirohito met MacArthur in 1945.

In Greece riots against Obama.

Heard that yesterday and was wondering if we could negotiate a trade for "our" rioters.

...not part of the Japanese Psyche...perhaps they need an Obamian leader in order to reach that point?

Ask Aba to reopen the Honda Goldwing plant in Marysville.

Made in the USA by Americans.

Ah, now I realize it. You’ve been promoted to World Police.

One could certainly do so during one’s usual morning commute

Can you imagine the disaster that it would bring not just to Japan, but the general Far East, if that degree of groveling happened.

MacArthur was too “Christian” there, some may complain. Negotiated the forgiveness of a Japan that bowed to the Allies, with some egregious “war criminals” (which had been doing the emperor’s will) being slain but no general beatdown on the Japanese people.

The “torture doctors” ceased to be a menace at that point. The head of spiritual evil over them had been beaten back. The doctors themselves are almost all dead, and a new, far more Western-friendly generation has taken their place.

The only better hope there could be, would be a wave of actual evangelism (supernaturally empowered faith in Christ, not a bunch of cultural Christianity like in the decadent West). Missionaries have tried and still are trying, with limited success yet. But a new wind seems to be coming.

Many of them were rewarded with respected position in Japanese society. Some founded companies that IIRC still exist today. The Japs have some work to do in the apology and reparations department. Admitting guilt would be a step.

I know the Japanese.

They are wussies now and naturally so. All fanatic nations chill out after 20 megatons worth, they even become pacisificsrts. Christianity is tolerated there just as other faiths, though not so with Islam.

The modern Japanese celebrate many holidays of many other religions beside Shinto and Buddhist.

They’re certainly not the threatening beasts they had once been.

As if that did not generate benefits to the world? As if the most important thing would be to erase all that?

Abe is crapping his pants

What you cannot accept is that Japan came under the wing of an America that was far more spiritually Christian than before.

You’re there trying to grind a grudge with us and everyone else. You don’t even notice Christ over there on the cross for it all.
