President Donald Trump went on a strange rant about World War II when he was asked about his upcoming military parade, revealing a phone conversation in which he and Russian President Vladimir Putin humorously riffed about everyone “hating Russia” but loving Germany and Japan now.
Russia fought, sort of interesting, isn’t it? He fought with us at World War II and everybody hates him. And Germany and Japan, they’re fine, you know. Someday somebody will explain that. But I like Germany and Japan, too. But Putin is a little confused by that. You know, he said, we lost 51 million people, and we were your ally. And now everybody hates Russia, and they love Germany and Japan.” I said, “Let’s explain that sometime, okay?” But it’s a strange world.
