Like I said, you can justify it anyway you want. The bottom line is that when FDR and Churchill cutoff its oil supply, it had no choice but to use force to get the oil it needed.You can justify it anyway you want. That doesn't alter the fact the FDR and Churchill were deliberately pushing Japan into war.Because Fascist Japan had invaded China- and had massacred Chinese citizens.
Funny you never mention stuff like that.
It doesn't alter the fact that FDR and Churchill were using sanctions to try to punish Japan for its imperialistic ambitions.
Do you think that Trump is deliberately trying to push Iran and North Korea into war with the United States?
Actually Japan had a simple choice- offered to them by FDR and Churchill- stop their war in China and do not face sanctions.
You know- like we imposed sanctions on Iran and North Korea.- apparently leaving them 'no choice' but to go to war.....
In other words, Churchill and FDR pushed them into going to war.
Sanctions are one thing, but entirely cutting off a nations oil supply is another.
Actually Japan had a simple choice- offered to them by FDR and Churchill- stop their war in China and do not face sanctions.
Sanctions are sanctions- either they are legal or they aren't.
North Korea can end the sanctions when they stop their nuclear weapon development.
Japan could stop the sanctions by stopping its war in China- and Vietnam.
