FDR's Oil Embargo Was an Act of War. Same With OPEC in 1973.
Our aircraft carriers were ordered out of Pearl Harbor in order to stalk and provoke the Japanese fleet moving toward Indonesia to seize Royal Dutch Shell's oil. The hope was that the Japanese would feel we were about to attack them and would instead attack us pre-emptively. The movement of its other fleet was thought to be a diversion.
What a load of horse shit. You don't need aircraft carriers to stalk a fleet. And from what I remember, they weren't anywhere near Indonesia. And you think the U.S. is going to send out its two most important ships to get sunk? You are living in a fools paradise.
