Pokémon Apologizes After Event Listed At Controversial Shrine The Yasukuni Shrine is a site of great consternation in the country

The #Yasukuni #Shrine commemorates the Japanese people who died in conflicts from 1869 to 1954, and thus includes the soldiers who died as part of Japan’s forces fighting for the Axis powers in #WW2, many of whom were charged with the most serious of war crimes. #Pokemon

Sanae Takaichi nie odwidzi Yasukuni? Utrzymanie dobrych relacji z Koreą Południową jest jedną najważniejszych spraw w polityce zagranicznej Tokio. Dla wielu, całkiem słusznie moim zdaniem, kwestia nie-wizyty w Yasukuni jest testem dojrzałości politycznej Takaichi.

Takaichi Sanae praised Nazi Germany’s election tactics & posed with a Neo-Nazi.
Aso Taro backs her to lead Japan with Sansei-to, dubbed “Japan’s Nazi party.”
Now her 8/15 Yasukuni Shrine visit is under fire.

Plus généralement, les Occidentaux ignorent les massacres de masse commis par l'armée impériale (en quelques semaines parfois, à Manille share.google/mb5GTxQSlZqT...)

En conclusion La visite à #Yasukuni (tache indélébile sur Le Pen & Gollnisch) n'a suscité aucune réaction des médias français
Fin.

SHINTO-KYO Der Tenno, er lässt den Schrein des friedlichen Landes seit Jahren links lächelnd liegen, schweigt. Rechts geht es ab; Kinder im Lauf schützen rote Laternen vor Massen, Menschen laufen zu Tausenden auf dem Zeremonialweg, gesäumt von hohen Wänden großgelber Lampioneier. Benamt stehen Lichter Spalier, Kaisertreue, Kriegsverbrecher zuhauf. Ordner mit blinkenden Stäben treiben das Volk zu den Seiten, schneiden wichtig die Schneise für drei götterrufende Taikoschläger, Takter für Flöter; entspannungslos quer ihre Töne, Minimarschbecken, Laute, archaische Schreie aus trampelnden Blumengebinden, um hungrige Drachen zu wecken. Unweit raucht es aus Buden, qualmen Udon hinter Schlangen; man blickt roh auf Zen– Europäer in Kimonos, Greise umtanzen Ōmuras Denkmal verzückt, die Jugend am Fuße der Bronze im Gleichschritt zum atonalen Geplärre. Kinder, auf geht’s, bloß weg! Im Kaikan steht sie, die A6M Zero – zur Flucht!
