Now settle down boys and girls, and I'll give you a little lesson in diplomacy, a game that's supposed to be played between countries to stop them from blowing each other to pieces.
Now, let's say there are two countries who currently have large tensions between each other, there has been some small clashes between patrol boats and both sides have a lot of rhetoric going on.
Here's what you do not do...you do not go and visit a notorious shrine that has war criminals from the time when you raped and pillaged the other countries around you and pay tribute to not only the soldiers that died in that war but the war criminals as well. By all means do that after tensions have died down a little...but not right in the middle of it.
Shinzo Abe you big twit...
