Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because America blocked oil imports from the "Allies" to Japan, which was fighting a war with what would eventually become Communist China. It was intended as a death sentence to Japan.

Let me get even more Alex Jones on the matter. Compare the ship casualties at Pearl Harbor to the naval forces stationed there. Notice that the ships there to be sunk excluded the aircraft carriers and other modern ships. Most of what was lost was of little value if a war broke out and was quickly replaced. Except, of course, the sailors who lost their lives on those ships.

This has been going on longer than anyone knows.

Germany still declared war on America because we were giving arms to the UK. So no matter what, we would have been pulled in from that fact alone.

And Japan did FUCKED things to the Chinese. Like fucking war crimes dude. That we didn't try them for. The Rape of Nanjing isn't a metaphor. They were testing nerve gas and shit on them too. That's why the Chinese fucking HATE the Japanese. Even now. China would love nothing more than to ethnically cleanse the Japanese. Then the Koreans after that.

I seriously worry for Japan. If the US can't keep China in check, they're going to wipe them out. And for what it's worth, Japan is a legit ally to us. Not only militarily, but they have MAGA rallies and shit over there. BLM tried to get a rally/riot going in Japan and they literally called them faggots and ignored them. I remember seeing the messages. The Japanese called them faggots then a slur of racial insults and that was that.

China wants to eradicate Japan. And if we're just going to roll over for Xi, they're going to. And there will be no one to stop it.

Germany declared war on the side of Japan. Either way, that all happened in the context of America for years arming and supplying all Germany's enemies, including the Soviet Union, while embargoing them. If we actually took a neutral stance from the very beginning, no one would have wanted war with us.

As for war crimes, everyone did that sort of thing back then. Including America. Hell, we kept testing garbage on our own troops until, possibly, relatively recent times. If you believe we ever stopped.

I think Japan has themselves covered these days. They have a massive totally-not-a-military-really-guys Self Defense Force, some of the most advanced technology on the planet (including real military mech suits and robots), and a large number of operating nuclear plants. If they see America going down, I believe they will take the right measures.

I think Japan’s Unit 731 out does most, if not all, war crimes committed by allied powers.

WWII is over, and the clique of Japanese militarists that started it are long defeated and dead. We should have started rearming Japan in about 1955.

They didn’t sink the aircraft carrier’s because they weren’t there.

I can agree on China. I think modern day China much more closely fits a fascist model than a communist model. However, they promote actual communism around the world, because it weakens their enemies. China is also promoted by the left-corporatists that run the majority of the US.

Please elucidate on what you really mean by "emboldening Hitler's vision"

You're committing to being so boldy wrong I suspect you're not serious about any of it (or you're a schizoposter). Either way, don't listen to this guy: he's twisting events into a tortured nonsensical historical narrative.

How do you suppose to re-write history such that the oil embargo on Japan prior to Pearl Harbor wasn't entirely necessary?

1

It was as necessary as going into Iraq for WMDs.

We didn't go into Iraq for WMDs.

I certainly hope your understanding of the current situation is better than your grasp of history.
