When the Japanese live translation goes silent because the translators are too stunned to repeat your Pearl Harbor “joke” to the Japanese PM, you’ve officially reached a new level of diplomatic failure.
Those seconds of silence were the most honest reaction of the day.
@Strandjunker What's almost morbidly impressive is how he managed to make the most tasteless joke imaginable and undercut his own position: the attack on Pearl Harbor was tactically more or less everything that could have been expected of it; but quickly proved to be a strategic disaster.
Not...exactly...what you want to invoke when it looks like you sure did airstrike Iran pretty hard but that seems to have done you significantly less good than you anticipated.
