That Time America Defeated "Communist" Japan

Who can forget Americas defeat of Communist Japan. Celebrated every year as of one the countries most important military victories equally important as its defeat of the Socialist Communist Empire of Nauru. These victories will live on in the annals of American history for all time. 

It takes a special kind of ignorance to say live on air that America defeated Communist Japan which never existed.  Granted this bit of rhetorical nonsense imitated from Ainsely Earhart one of not to bright hosts of Fox and Friends.


On Fox & Friends on Thursday morning, Ainsley Earhardt proudly recalled the United States defeating “communist Japan.” She was responding to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who said Wednesday that America “was never that great.” In her patriotic fervor, she fudged some of the details in a passionate defense of the nation: “We defeated communist Japan, radical Islamists... We’re the most generous country in all of the world. Yes, we have our faults, but because of this country our world is definitely a better place. We are great.” One of those faults might be knowledge of history: Japan has never been a communist country.


America defeated Imperial Japan, thus ending that countries hegemonic ambitions and World War II. Yes, Japan does have a Communist party. Japan was never a communist country.
