No, the sign makes sense and highlights the main reason the Serbs are so opposed to the hotel. The proposed site was a historical building that was bombed by NATO during the war for Kosovo’s independence. Serbs pretty universally see those events as “American” bombings and often cite them as cause to despise the US. So, the sign is pointing out the insensitivity of an American developer building a hotel in that location by comparing it to a Japanese developer building a hotel in Pearl Harbor.
Given how deeply Serbia is within the sphere of Russian influence, I doubt they care one way or the other that it’s affiliated with Jared Kushner, they just don’t like that it would have been owned by an American.
The problem is neither him, nor America. The problem is the building is protected architecture, doubly so for it's history, and has been illegally offered to Kushner as a gift, to try and get the deeply unpopular government into the good graces of the Trump regime. It's a story of a traitor selling off the country piecemeal to foreign powers so he could cling on to power.
Not everything in the world revolves around the latest US boogeyman.
And yet, that explains absolutely nothing about the relevance of Pearl Harbor to this situation, which is what this particular thread of the discussion was related to. Thanks for the downvote anyway, though.
The Pearl Harbour part is a message made to be understandable for Americans. That's why it's in English. If they were giving it to Putin, the reaction would be the same, except the banner would be in Russian, and be about something else. And yes, the braindead "Russian sphere of influence" take every idiot has on here about a country they know less than nothing about earns you a downvote fair and square.
