【Zakharova Mocks Japan's 'Historical Amnesia' Toward the United States】 On August 9, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova posted a comment ridiculing the Japanese authorities for their self-deprecating evasion and downplaying of who actually dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ironically, this has now become material for Americans to mock Japan.
"I suppose their logic goes something like this: since Japan's elite themselves participate in rewriting their own history, why shouldn't Americans join in mocking the Japanese?"
What is presented before us is a clip from the American animated series *South Park*. In the episode, Japan's Emperor Akihito proudly displays a photo of the B-29 bomber "Enola Gay," which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, saying:
“The Americans were so considerate—they sent us this photo the very next day after the bombing.”
But ironically, the ones sitting in the cockpit of the plane are not American pilots, but a dolphin and a whale.
How ironic. How cruel. How 'Western.'
This once again brings to mind an old truth: traitors—whether they betray history, memory, or their own nation—never earn respect from anyone.
Especially those who exploit them will never truly respect them.
What they ultimately receive is often only one thing:
Shame and contempt from their own people.
