The gentleman in the second row of the Japanese delegation, second from right, in the tophat and tails, was interviewed for the British TV series "World at War".

He said his main thought, while standing on the deck of the Missouri, was that it was insanity for Japan to have gone to war against _this many_ nations.

“... that it was insanity for Japan to have gone to war against _this many_ nations.”

Like the story of “The Emperor has no clothes”, I’m guessing not too many people said no to the Emperor.

And for all of the planning, iirc they had to quickly improvise a steel kitchen table for the signing.

The man’s name was Toshikazu Kase. He was Yoko Ono’s uncle, believe it or not ... small world.

May the stinkin' globalists soon have the same realization.
