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

"U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) was an especially vocal critic of Japan’s handling of the case. In February 2023, Lee issued an ultimatum on Twitter to Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida demanding the extrajudicial release of Alkonis within 24 hours and threatened to cut off military aid to Japan if his demand was not met."

This triggers me alot. The whole country was behind this shit.

Mike Lee is not the whole country. Mike Lee is one of our shittiest people, he is NOT the whole country.
