I say get it over with a fuck up Russia good so they don't fuck around again.
America did everything imaginable to provoke Japan into making an act of war, primarily using a 'blockade' of the small island nation, citing Japan's military aggression in Communist China.

There was no blockade of Japan, and there was no Communist China in 1941.
The U.S. war with Japan was never about freedom, as American students have long been taught in U.S. public (i.e., government) schools. Japan never had any intention of invading and conquering the United States. More important, they never had the military capability to even contemplate that possibility.

Yes, there was. The US began the Japanese oil embargo on July 26, 1941.
I originally thought that yes, Biden wants a war over Ukraine. But when that missile landed in Poland a few months ago I was very surprised how fast Biden and every western clown said correctly, no it was a Ukrainian missile. Wow. I realized we are afraid to face Russia head on. This I thought would have been the perfect false flag for us.
Germany and Japan were aggressive expansive powers that eventually caused a coalition to arise against them.

Following the Japanese occupation and annexation of Indo-China on July 24th, 1941, putting them within easy striking distance of the Philippines (US), Singapore (UK) and Dutch Indonesia (Netherlands).
But there is one above the Uber wealthy that is returning soon to remind this fallen world who is in control. He will end all of the wars, and there will be peace for a thousand years.
I can't possibly understand the situation in 1941. Honestly, I doubt FDR did, but given the shit we have for government today, I wouldn't be surprised if we had shit for government back then. I can't KNOW this, but I suspect.

Is there any doubt in your mind? I mean FDR was pretty much a communist. He even (gave) half of Europe and Korea to Stalin.
I'm not trying to do anything other than correct statements. The US began an oil embargo on July 26, 1941 - I neither condemn nor defend this. I'm only pointing out this happened.
Do you know how the US conquered the Philippines in 1902? The men went to the hills as US infantry landed, and fought a guerrilla war. The US infantry just started killing the women and children they left behind. It used to be we didn't even PRETEND to fuck around with resistance. We're still just as brutal today. We are intentionally starving Yemen right now. We don't see it on the propaganda box, and it's censored on our "social media", but it's happening.

Yes, and I'm pointing out it's a reaction to Japan further expanding their reach from a War in China, to occupying French Indo-China.
It was done in response to Japanese Aggressive Expansion to put pressure on them to tone things down, not heighten tension.
Incorrect: The US conquered the Spanish Possession of the Philippine Area in 1902 in the Spanish-American War. Not an independent Phillippines.
It was done to create a justification for the US to enter WWII.
Get out of these stupid conflicts. They work against this country, and doesn't benefit anybody other than a few psychopaths in power.
IF WE WERE SMART, we would have just conquered France and give Vietnam independence,
Just because you're not interested in Geopolitics, Geopolitics won't not be interested in you.

Or, just suborned Ho Chi Mihn who was more of a Nationalist than a Communist.
Imagine if we gave Vietnam 1/10th of what we spent in 1967 in Vietnam in machinery, loans, etc. plus some tariff exemptions for them to export cheap athletic socks back in the 60s.
But that wouldn't save Bell Helicopter from Bankruptcy.
We should have lived up to our agreement with Ho Chi Mihn. Fuck France, we didn't need them to be a part of NATO.
Our involvement with the Vietnam war bankrupted this nation, forcing us off the gold standard and the irony is that it was FRANCE that forced this, since Charles de Gaulle sent warships to NY city to pick up their expatriated gold.

Yes. French were left NATO what, in the 70s? Nice return for that favor.

Yep. We should have put in LeClerc instead.
I'm obviously interested in geopolitics, but there's much I don't know.

That wasn't a flex, but a saying. It didn't mean YOU personally.
I'm a moderate isolationist but willing to offshore balance with goodies and aid IF there are willing and non-problematic (not necessarily perfect) actors to support.

Former General Warns: U.K. Military Would Run Out of Ammo In One Day of Fighting Russia
General Sir Richard Barrons, who formerly served as the Joint Forces chief, claimed that spending cuts have depleted the British military to such an extent that, in a hot war with Russia, the UK would run out of ammunition and artillery shells within just one day.
According to research conducted by The Sun newspaper, the United Kingdom’s ammunition plants would need at least one year to produce the amount of shells currently used by the Ukrainians in their conflict with Russia.
“This is truly shocking. But it is true. And we must fix it,” General Barrons wrote. “The UK spends more on defence than any EU ally and our brave Armed Forces have long been one of Britain’s most influential levers around the world.”
“Yet for decades they have been hollowed out by spending cuts,” he added, saying that the government would need to spend an additional £3 billion per year on the military to fall in line with the top level of the NATO alliance.
