    As far as I know the US stopped selling Japan rubber, metal & oil that was keeping the war in China going. So Japan was moving south to get the resources it needed to continue the war. They attack Pearl Harbor to keep the US Navy from stopping this move. Is this is what you mean by provoked. Did the US know & did FDR let the attack happen to get the US in the war. I don't know. But does it really matter, the US had to enter the war sooner or later. Maybe Japan did the world a favor.

    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.

    I don't disagree the US is imperialistic. But at the time it was also not the super power it is today. Japan was raping & murdering Asia, aligned with the Nazi's & a threat to Russia as well. Something had to be done, & US had to get in the war anyway.

    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.

    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.
    Quit worrying Brooks, even if he doesn't know the acronym, President Trump is on top of the EPA problem. .

    does anyone find Steven Colbert funny? Seriously. Its like watching a male version of 2 Broke Girls with canned laughing. He must pay several people to hold up Applause signs. I can't believe his show is still on the air.

    With prosperity, you always get feminized and soft. The reset is coming, though, things always come full circle.

    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.

    I liked the Colbert Report much better than the Late Show.
    Trump calling the EPA, the department of environmental DEP, was pretty funny.

    Ho-leeee-shit

    And Dwight supports the guys

    I've always thought Trump was smart and it was his followers that were idiots. Turns out I was only half right, his followers are idiots, but so is Trump!

    You don't give me enough ammunition to agree or disagree, but you are right, it's time to look in the mirror.
    Stop bitching, raising your kids that way, sucking the govt tit and voting the same morons in. Not just the Pres,
    but the little guys.

    You want change? Vote Dem in your senate races.

    Laugh all you want, but do you want another 4 - 8 years of no?

    you know me, I focus on the important facts. Rkelly has admitted he is a sheep and you have admitted you're stupid. You guys probably have a lot in common.

    And you've admitted (although not willingly) that you lied about having a degree.

    Your imaginary BS (Bachelors of Science in case you weren't aware what it actually stood for) in Science is the other kind of BS.
