On X.com, Japanese continue to mingle and share jokes with Americans. American: We should give nuclear weapons to Japan. Japanese: It arrived twice, but the shipping method is way too American. Next time, pack it carefully, alright?

It arrived twice, but the shipping method is way too American.

Next time, pack it carefully, alright?

ransomnote: Elon Musk retweeted this exchange and called it a 'Banger'. @GoodAmericanMan praised Elon for bridging the gap between America and Japan.

I understand the Japanese have refused to accept anymore American shipments of nuclear weapons that are addressed “Hey Japo, catch this”.

Well, I heard that it had to do with changing the shipping instructions to no longer reads: "No signature required. Just drop at entrance."

I bet there are still translation errors. Like “生の魚のような味がする” translating to “tastes like raw fish” might not be an insult in their language.

Or any bearing Fish and Wildlife stickers— “Catch and Release”. This generation has an understanding of the lunatics running japan who at that time also planned the murder of Hirohito, the Emperor— that they were militarist nuts who could have taken down the whole country, at the expense of millions of citizens and millions of Allied invasion forces that would have been slaughtered otherwise.

Time educates and balances, apparently. Humor is a good sign. Especially as the realpolitick of Japan understands the danger of Chi-Coms taking up their own East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere from the former Empire of Japan. A long history from before WWI. Really horrible for both countries.

You can listen to the Japanese version of The Village People's song, 'YMCA':

But what if “生の魚のような味がする” translates to “Go Go Godzirra” ?

We're getting along with the Japanese.

So it's time for us to pivot. And yes, that includes leaving Europe.
