This "bowing" thing
https://www.google.com/webhp?h...ing+to+world+leaders
would be okay if that was the protocol amongst world leaders, but its not.
Those who bow to Saudi Princes and "set up" emperors like Japan are their subjects. The subjects of royal family of Great Britain bow to them, but HRM is perfectly comfortable with a handshake from the POTUS. And they have been our staunch allies for a century.
Until the end of WWII, the Japanese emperor was considered a deity by the Japanese people. As a condition of their surrender, the Japanese were allowed to keep their emperor but no longer consider him a god. And the chrysanthemums were immediately ground off the Arisaka's. So what's up with this bowing BS?
Why not look a man or woman in their eye and shake their hands?
It's because of liberal apologist like Obama who, if it were the protocol of grand poobahs of countries such as B*u*m*e*f*f*e*g*y*p*t to have their subjects kiss a goat's ass while they watched, the Obamas of this world would line up to do it.
All so they wouldn't have to look poohah in the eye.
