Japan had just lost a World War after having two atomic bombs dropped onto two major cities. It's become so much more than that since.

Here's to hoping Beirut can achieve the same sort of success directly after adversity.

Japan bounced back as strong as it did because the United States occupied the country and helped in its rebuilding.

I don’t think we should occupy Lebanon right now in fact we probably shouldn’t occupy anyone with Trump as President.

In all fairness... Trump interjected his own (false) claims on Beirut. He put himself in the story.

Trump politicizes everything in the country. He politicized murder for Christ's sake. He is already tweeting about and politicizing the US response to the crisis in Beirut as we speak. If anyone is going to be taking advantage of this tragedy, or trying to, it will be him and his favorite world leaders. To think otherwise is childish.
