ANOTHER mass shooting: Savannah, GA; 5 shot, 2 dead

[Skylar]

You're thinking of the East China Sea. With the Phillipines being about 1000 miles across the East China Sea from Japan....with land never more than a couple hundred miles away.

The US mainland was more than 7000 miles away. With land often thousands of miles away.

Not quite the same thing, is it?

The Philippines is very definition of "South Pacific."

The logistics of supply was never the problem. Japan lacked the forces to take the USA by force. It was indeed the armed civilians that kept them from even trying. Plans were laid to invade Hawaii, but abandoned is impossible given the native populations. Any Japanese invasion would have started with Hawaii.

Yep. Take Hawaii and then use that as a supply and staging ground for a land invasion. Get the US while they're bogged down fighting in Europe.

But Japan abandoned that plan. Taking Hawaii would've been easy.

The emperor made the grass blade comment for a reason.

They couldnt' have held Hawaii. And its 2500 miles to the US mainland from Hawaii. That's a 5000 mile supply line. Which is ridiculous. And another 4500 miles to Japan to keep Hawaii supplied.

Which is beyond stupid.

They could have taken Hawaii if they'd wanted it. They didn't. They had no intention of invading the US mainland, nor desire to. The cost in manpower would have been insane. And they didn't have the resources for more than a 6 month sea engagement. They had nothing close to what was necessary for a mainland invasion. That's why they didn't invade. Not your 'weez got duh Gunz to make da Japs 'fraid' horseshit.

Your story is the kind of empty, ignorant bravado that folks who have no idea what happened tell each while one works on a car in a hot garage.....and 4 others standard around drinking beer and talking shit.

Plans were laid to invade Hawaii, but abandoned is impossible given the native populations. Any Japanese invasion would have started with Hawaii.

Logistics were an enormous issue. As they had more than enough men to take and hold Hawaii. For a little while. But they wouldn't be able to hold it over such a vast supply line. With all of those issues multiplied with the US mainland. If they'd have tried, it would have consumed virtually the whole of the Japanese military effort.

The reason they didn't had little to do with the 2nd amendment. It goes back to the Port Arthur attack when they fought the Russians about a generation earlier. They hit the Russians hard in a surprise naval attack. And the Russians, who had other priorities, capitulated diplomatically in a face saving maneuver, ceding the territory Japan wanted.

Japan sought to be another UK. And expected a similar response from the US when they hit Pearl Harbor: deal a devestating blow, hurt us in their field of influence and then get the US to quietly cede that influence in favor of higher US priorities. Like Europe.

Given their history, (and ours, being very Euro-centric), it made a certain sense. What they didn't count on was wounded pride of the US. They had planned on issuing a declaration of war to the US minutes before Pearl Harbor. Due to logistical decoding issues, they didn't get the declaration delivered to the US until after the attack. That infuriated our nation. The rest is history.

They never had any intention of invading the US mainland. It would have been fucking retarded given their goals, their resources, and the distances involved. Instead, they wanted to create their own local 'United Kingdom', porting resources into Japan.

The whole 'R gunz kept them Japs at bay' bravado is 4th beer bullshit.

Yes. Japan didn't have vast resources. THAT is what they went to war for....to get them. If they took 1/4 of the American mainland....they wouldn't need a supply line....they took resources. That was the point.

To get them LOCALLY. They had carried out a land invasion: of Manchuria and Korea. Why in the fuck would they create a 14,000 mile long supply line there and back for a LAND invasion of one of the world's most populus and well armed nations when they could take resources locally from weak nations that were only HUNDREDS of miles away?

Your narrative makes absolutely no sense. They never had any intention of invading the US. And it had nothing to do with the local weapons. It had everything to do with it making absolutely no sense. And them not having the resources for it.

They couldn't even feasibly take Alaska beyond a handful of Islands in the Aleutians. And that's where vast repositories of our oil lay. And still, they didn't want a part of it, despite being ridiculously unpopulated and poorly protected.

The got about 2 million barrels of oil from their conquest of Taiwan and Manchuria. Its target for oil was the Dutch West Indies. Not the US.

1. Then why did the emperor even have to make the comment??? Because they were strategizing for it. And he said why.

Yep, it looks like we may need to do something to put a stop to this.

Friends... It's time to take the Ideological Left off the street.

Let's start with the voter registration records... get the registered Democrats.

First, find out who voted for obama... find them... bullet to the back of the head.

Second, find out who lives with those people... bats to the ankles and knees, no medical treatment, if all they can do is crawl, it will be easy to track 'em down later if we need to investigate further.

Third... college Campei! BLACK LIVES MATTER... just beat them to death, they're not worth a bullet.

Anyone who allowed them to sleep in the same building with them, but were not visibly affiliated... bats... ankles and knees.

Congressional Black Caucus... Gitmo. Put 'em in the old Dog Kennels, save the new state of the art Hi-Sec crap for white socialists... just for fun.

ACLU... Bullet/Head.

OK... the Homosexuals.

Never mind with them, at that point, there won't be anyone in the nation who will admit to ever having had an impure thought.

so what will you be doing while the men go and do this?.....holding their coats?....

I'm no expert on this of course. But...I've read that half the Japanese generals/admirals, whatever rank they called it, wanted to take Hawaii and use it as bargaining for other parts of the West for resources, and use it to threaten a land invasion, but the other half knew this wasn't logical for many reasons. The loss at Midway crushed the Japanese who wanted to fully take Hawaii.

1. Emperor Hirohito never made that "comment". Neither did General Yamamoto - that's who you're thinking of, anyway - It's a fake quote.

2. They didn't "want" Pearl Harbor, they wanted to cripple our Navy and damage our morale. At the time, we were already making significant moves towards entering the war. There was never any plan for Japan to "invade" Hawaii.

I lived in Japan for years, was born there, studied history in the country because I was curious how they saw the war. The key to understanding the Japanese attack on Pearl was their attack on Port Arthur a generation earlier. They were expecting us to focus on Europe and quietly cede influence the way that the Russians did.

It didn't work out that way. But their goal was never to defeat the US in a long, protracted war where they invaded the mainland. But instead to form a local 'United Kingdom of Japan' of sorts, modeled after Britain. With colonies in Mainland China, Taiwan, Korea, and resources from the South Pacific.

They had no confidence in their ability defeat the US in a sand up fight. And then had no intention of fighting one.

The reason they didn't had little to do with the 2nd amendment. It goes back to the Port Arthur attack when they fought the Russians about a generation earlier. They hit the Russians hard in a surprise naval attack. And the Russians, who had other priorities, capitulated diplomatically in a face saving maneuver, ceding the territory Japan wanted.

Japan sought to be another UK. And expected a similar response from the US when they hit Pearl Harbor: deal a devestating blow, hurt us in their field of influence and then get the US to quietly cede that influence in favor of higher US priorities. Like Europe.

Given their history, (and ours, being very Euro-centric), it made a certain sense. What they didn't count on was wounded pride of the US. They had planned on issuing a declaration of war to the US minutes before Pearl Harbor. Due to logistical decoding issues, they didn't get the declaration delivered to the US until after the attack. That infuriated our nation. The rest is history.

They never had any intention of invading the US mainland. It would have been fucking retarded given their goals, their resources, and the distances involved. Instead, they wanted to create their own local 'United Kingdom', porting resources into Japan.

The whole 'R gunz kept them Japs at bay' bravado is 4th beer bullshit.

Yes. Japan didn't have vast resources. THAT is what they went to war for....to get them. If they took 1/4 of the American mainland....they wouldn't need a supply line....they took resources. That was the point.

To get them LOCALLY. They had carried out a land invasion: of Manchuria and Korea. Why in the fuck would they create a 14,000 mile long supply line there and back for a LAND invasion of one of the world's most populus and well armed nations when they could take resources locally from weak nations that were only HUNDREDS of miles away?

Your narrative makes absolutely no sense. They never had any intention of invading the US. And it had nothing to do with the local weapons. It had everything to do with it making absolutely no sense. And them not having the resources for it.

They couldn't even feasibly take Alaska beyond a handful of Islands in the Aleutians. And that's where vast repositories of our oil lay. And still, they didn't want a part of it, despite being ridiculously unpopulated and poorly protected.

The got about 2 million barrels of oil from their conquest of Taiwan and Manchuria. Its target for oil was the Dutch West Indies. Not the US.

1. Then why did the emperor even have to make the comment??? Because they were strategizing for it. And he said why.

Hirohito didn't make that comment. And they had no strategy to invade the US.

2. Why did they even WANT Pearl Harbor? No need to provoke America....for what? AMERICA wanted to stay out of war. So....unless Japan wanted Hawaii....why bomb it? And why would they want it??

They didn't want Pearl Harbor. They wanted the US pacific fleet.

What they were looking for was another Port Arthur.

Battle of Port Arthur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Where they hit us hard, we rattled sabers and then focus on our real priority: Europe. Ceding our Pacific influence and letting the Japanese form their own 'United Kingdom' out of East Asia through diplomatic face saving.

That's what they expected to happen. As it had when Isoroku Yamamoto served in the Japanese Imperial Navy against Russia in 1904. They had no confidence in a protracted war:

"In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britian I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success."

Isoroku Yamamoto to cabinet minister Shigeharu Matsumoto

As it turned out, Yamamoto got the protracted war he feared. And not the negotiated face saving he had hoped for.

Woman dies, 3 injured in Savannah shooting
UPDATE: Police find suspect in fatal shooting dead; Savannah High lockdown lifted | Savannahnow.com Mobile

Holy shit this is getting crazy!!! Savannah GA, 5 shot, 2 dead, including the shooter.

Oh....wait....God dammit....never mind....shooters name is "Malique"....this one doesn't matter. Disregard and carry on.

Yep, it looks like we may need to do something to put a stop to this.

Friends... It's time to take the Ideological Left off the street.

Let's start with the voter registration records... get the registered Democrats.

First, find out who voted for obama... find them... bullet to the back of the head.

Second, find out who lives with those people... bats to the ankles and knees, no medical treatment, if all they can do is crawl, it will be easy to track 'em down later if we need to investigate further.

Third... college Campei! BLACK LIVES MATTER... just beat them to death, they're not worth a bullet.

Anyone who allowed them to sleep in the same building with them, but were not visibly affiliated... bats... ankles and knees.

Congressional Black Caucus... Gitmo. Put 'em in the old Dog Kennels, save the new state of the art Hi-Sec crap for white socialists... just for fun.

ACLU... Bullet/Head.

OK... the Homosexuals.

.
.

Never mind with them, at that point, there won't be anyone in the nation who will admit to ever having had an impure thought.

Wait a few days... any West-coaster found complaining is a subversive... any found holding their tongue is a well disciplined subversive.

Week... 10 days tops. Problem solved.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the next Rusty Houser.

Oh, Keyes is quite insane.

What makes you think the government knows how many guns I have?

It knows what you buy, what you buy ammo for, what you chat about, what you brag about, and since you won't turn them in it matters not a damn, you're a burnout case, literally. It knows, it just doesn't care, yet...

You don't know what you are talking about.

There are no such records if you don't live in a state that doesn't require registration.

They don't need no stinkin' records, dumbass.
