The HORRIBLE TRUTH About Today’s Republicans In One Perfect Hashtag: #GOPWANTSWAR

[Aristus]

18. I think you missed a few pieces of history yourself.

Hawaii was US territory. I agree it was seized illegally, and deplore the racist white imperialism that drove them to it. But nevertheless, it was US territory at the time. And it wasn't simply the Harbor that was bombed; it was the US warships docked there. Bombing ships of a nation's navy would have been an act of war no matter where they had been docked.

And the Tripartite Act, and Hitler's puzzling adherence to it after the US declaration of war on Japan, are the reasons Germany declared war on us, and we responded in kind. Hitler's decision to honor the Pact of Steel when he had abrogated nearly every other international agreement he had been party to alarmed and dismayed the Nazi leadership, and led a number of high-level Nazis to assert that now that the US was in, Germany's war was lost.

Don't try to get into an historical pissing contest with me. You'll lose, and you'll look bad doing it...
