Not exactly what I recall, but people have different takes on it, I think most would agree they provoked it and wanted it. I think Japan was becoming kinda like the U.S. is seen today as in being imperialistic, Japan was closing out competitors for resources in parts of Asia, that seems to be a no no with Washington. Seems throughout history the farce of communism is overlooked when business is conducted but an excuse when its isolated. Therefore it seems nationalism and not communism is fought against. Japan was seen as arrogant for trying to freeze the U.S. out of markets and someone who could be easily defeated so the U.S. starting deploying ships into Japanese waters, froze assets and put further sanctions on them. By that time the U.S. had already deciphered Japanese codes and knew what was going to happen. Ive read something of the sort more than once unlike the Gulf of Tonkin where things used to vary, but thats been declassified so I guess that version is correct.

Yes the red scare was bull shit. It was also used against the New Deal alliance of the communist party, socialist party, & labor movement in the US at the time. Like I said they started to dismantle the New Deal as soon as it was in place.Comment -

#2601Politicians are owned at every level so that argument doesn't matter. And Fracking is a great example of how a state can handle their own problems just like Flint, MI. The EPA did nothing to prevent either problem. The EPA's purpose has been fulfilled.
then they can sue just like Nebraska and Oklahoma tried to sue Colorado recently.
which is why I said we can stop pretending we live in the 1970s still. Their was a problem and now there no longer is one. Correction, the problem is now the EPA. They have killed jobs, crushed an industry and they are not done yet according to hillary.
I question anyone's intelligence who can't see what the EPA really is now. All you have to do is look at the facts regarding their assault on coal with ridiculous regulations.

Sad indeed.
Guns prohibited and the #1 murder capitol in the world.
Ya know Dwight, I was kind of thinking...
Calling Bernie Sanders a socialist is not right- I think he has communist ideas(not a Russian or Chinese sympathizer).
We shouldn't call Bernie a socialist, he's more like a communist.Comment -
