Our Man in Tokyo

The American Conservative ^

Some audience members came up to me after a speech I gave in downtown Tokyo in late April. They were hopping mad at Rahm Emanuel, the man whom Washington sent a little over a year ago to do its business in Japan. And what does that business entail? If Emanuel’s April tweets are any indication, it entails interfering in internal Japanese political matters.

(snip)

In my April speech in Tokyo, I referred to the American Embassy down the street as the “sotokufu,” the “governor-general” of Japan. The audience broke into thundering applause. I said that it was time to throw the governor-general out. The applause got louder. Whether Rahm Emanuel realizes it or not, Washington’s days as Tokyo’s master are numbered. No matter how much the Japanese establishment wants to go on being Washington’s pawn, more and more of the Japanese are done with the American empire and want out.

Long read, but interesting.

Makes one wonder how long this gets pushed before we see American diplomats being expelled for such crap?

Or a Benghazi?

So good old Rham has landed in Tokyo for the duration of the Biden Administration.

The clientele at Man's World is deeply saddened by his absence.
