1. Speedy and Japan cannot be in the same phrase

2. They got their hankos ready!

3. Speedy Gonzalez will be a joke in comparison. You will not be able to even see the people coming in and out of meetings held to mull on how to approach the debate to consider on how to have a discussion on how to respond! They will be faster than the speed of tofu!

4. Standard response from governments world wide is to wait…. nobody dares to step up.

5. Indignant ‘responses’ to Korean or Chinese complaints, claims, remarks, denunciations of massacres,deportations,starvation,Dr Shiro Ishii & his benevolent contributions to medical science, etc. etc., have moved with the briskness of an Amazonian sloth. This one deserves an upgrade. To the pace of the Australian plate’s motion toward India.

6. Japan imports USD$648 per person and 1.96% of GDP.

   USA? They import from Japan $330 each and 0.51% of GDP.

   123 million vs 449 million population
   4 trillion vs 29 trillion GDP

   So who exactly is losing out?

7. Japan will respond with 0.24% tariffs 😀😀
