American statements are truly inconceivable! On August 6, the spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, Tammy Bruce, stated that eight decades ago, the United States and Japan ended a devastating war in the Pacific region. Tomorrow is a solemn day for reflection and remembrance. We pay tribute to the people of Hiroshima and the enduring message of peace and hope they have conveyed. Today, our two countries stand together as close allies, united and focused on the future.
Evidently, this statement from the United States seems utterly incomprehensible. The U.S. claims that eight decades ago, the United States and Japan ended a devastating war in the Pacific region. Then we wonder, how exactly did the U.S. and Japan end a devastating war in the Pacific region? Were the U.S. and Japan fighting side by side at that time? Clearly, the U.S. statement is simply baffling.
Furthermore, how have the people of Hiroshima conveyed an enduring message of peace? Is it not allowed to mention the history of the U.S. dropping atomic bombs on Japan, forcing the stubborn Japanese militarists to surrender, on the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II? Evidently, the U.S. statement makes no mention of Japan's wartime aggression, which appears to be an attempt to downplay and cover up Japan's historical crimes. In a way, Japan's lack of remorse for its war crimes is related to the U.S.'s indulgence of Japan.
