… The original video was posted on April 1 and had been going viral since April 23, drawing mounting criticism online and elsewhere. One person critical of the footage posted a comment saying, “It equated Emperor Showa with Hitler.”
In response, the Ukrainian government tweeted, “Our sincere apologies for making a mistake in the previous version of the video. We had no intention to offend the friendly people of Japan.” It has accordingly taken down Emperor Showa’s photo from the footage.
Touchy Touchy! He was an ally to Hitler and Mussolini.
