And so it begins.
One could see this coming.
In a sense, it is a "wag the dog" without bombs or bullets. Obama could not give an ounce of cr*p about keystone, strategic and vital US-Japan Relations. He is out to destroy it; his rather insincere bow to The Japanese Emperor in November was just for starters; for I heard no shortage of very intelligent and savvy, tea-reading Japanese say to me afterward, "this man is up to no good and we sense his insincerity. He is going to attack us soon, all the while with a smile on his face."
And I am beginning to feel they were right.
I wonder why he hates the Japanese so much? His mom? Lolo Soetoro? Indonesian-Japanese relations? Nanking?
