The revelation came ahead of Trump’s arrival in Japan on Sunday at the start of his five-nation trip to Asia. Threats from North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile development programs were set to be high on the agenda in his talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday. Trump questioned Japan’s decision not to shoot down the missiles when he met or spoke by phone with leaders from Southeast Asian countries over recent months to discuss how to respond to the threats from North Korea, the sources said. [B]The U.S. president said he could not understand why a country of samurai warriors did not shoot down the missiles, the sources said.[/B] In defiance of international sanctions imposed to compel Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons and missile development programs, North Korea test-launched ballistic missiles on Aug. 29 and Sept. 15 that flew over Hokkaido before falling into the Pacific Ocean. However, the Self-Defense Forces did not try to intercept the missiles, with the government saying the SDF had monitored the rockets from launch and judged they would not land on Japanese territory. But the altitude and speed of the missiles would have made it very difficult to destroy them in flight, while failure would have been embarrassing for Japan and encouraging to North Korea. Defense Ministry officials confirmed this view and said there were also legal issues to clear.[/QUOTE] I didn't knew trump watched anime :v: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JR8nyfu.gif[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/XqGXHWG.gif[/IMG]

Did he also say his favorite japanese food is general tso chicken

Trump, we already get it. You know absolutely dick about anything outside of the US. You don't need to keep proving it to us.

Better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt. Wish Trump had learned that lesson 30 years ago.

I'm just surprised we don't have one megathread for all the shit Trump says and tweets.

the katanas weren't long enough to slice the missiles in half sadly

:speechless: There is so much wrong with that statement that I cannot put it into words, especially from our perspective.

gotta get back, back to the past (1941), samurai japan

This is plain funny

Man the leader of fat racist gun loving cowboy America sure loves to randomly throw stereotypes around when talking about other countries.

this sounds so fucking senile lol

I don't even know what to say. I swear to Christ if he comes over here and starts making IRA jokes I'll fucking lose it.

is donald trump living inside red alert or some shit

Trump can not keep his shit hole shut for one day, can he?

Funny how it was the US that contributed the most to the end of the samurai.

Definitely suffering some degenerative mental disease.

The older you get, the less reconcilable reality becomes with the hypothetical narrative in your noggin.

This just screams incompetence.

Don't worry, our country of cowboys will be able to lasso those missiles if they fly over our ranches. We'll hog-tie those nukes. Yee-haw

Yeah, those japs should have leapt upwards into the sky and sliced the missile in two!

Even Easy D knows that nothing, not even nukes, stands up to the might of a Japanese katana folded five million times.

I honestly can't imagine him saying this without also doing an impersonation of a samurai wielding a sword

[QUOTE=Mingebox;52858915]What's the point of cutting those missiles in half if they're still going to explode anyway?[/QUOTE] Every single answer to such questions is why not?

He realizes that Japan has been demilitarized since the end of WWII right?

Technically, yes. However, the SDF is a pretty impressive militia even if its forbidden to be used in war.
