consider what is being discussed

What is being discussed is your ridiculous suggestion that "America effectively forced Japan into war "

Utter tosh as others have also pointed out. Japanese Imperialist aggression did not need any coaxing on the part of the US.

If you are too dense to see that then that is your problem. But until the blindingly obvious starts to permeate through to the darkest depths of that miniscule brain of yours, best just carry on sitting in the corner with your Dunce's cap tightly fixed to your bonce.
And try and tone down the slobbering too, you are frightening sasguru!

HTH

Would you not agree that America effectively forced Japan into war in order to secure its supplies of iron ore, steel and oil

No but there's the conspiracy theory that they were warned about Pearl Harbour, and let it happen to be able to get public opinion onside to enter the war against both Germany and Japan

The variation I heard was that Winston had been tipped off about it but neglected to pass it on to the Americans because he knew that it would be likely to draw them into the conflict. I doubt any of us will live long enough to find out the actual truth, but our kids might.

I thought that was the First World War and the sinking of the Lusitania...

Oh well...

I think Winnie had a bit of a track record of "forgetfulness". Not knocking it mind, for without such a ruthless fooker we might all be talking German now.
