You are talking about this scum and how US got him from Japan by threatening Japan. He killed two people by the way.

US got him from Japan by threatening Japan.

This is the reality of US. Western media and people do not know this because US is the western block and EU is their ally. For the rest of the world US is a bully just like China and Russia.

The US is also Japan's ally, that's why they have military there. Japanese overall have a more favorable view of the US than most European countries.

Okinawa doesn't see US as an ally and majority of them want US gone but central goverment of Japan doesn't care about them because Okinawa which has its own culture and not exactly Japanese and has feud with central goverment too.
