No wonder his nic is klasvaakie
Actually m8, there were loads the US did to provoke a reaction of Japan. Yes, Japan did fire the first shot, but the US provoked it. For instance the US froze all Japanese assets in the US before they were officially enemies. Furthermore the US supplied the English with war supplies (tanks, weapons etc.) which is by all means an act of supporting Japan's enemies during a conflict. Then the US put an embargo on oil going to Japan, which it needed not only for their military, but for their industry and economy. What most people don't seem to know is that Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was actually a secondary attack, which kept the Americans occupied and their navy in a state that it could not react when Japan seized several strategical locations in the Pacific, some of which had massive oil wells and iron mines that they needed, for their stockpile was dwindling. Lastly, in files that have been declassified it has been proven that the US knew about the imminent attack, but did nothing to warn the fleet or prepare a decent defense. They even removed all their aircraft carriers from the Harbor on the day of the attack, which could have helped defend the Harbor if they had been present...especially seeing as US fighter planes were much better than the Japanese equivalent. If you doubt that the US didn't want to enter WW2, just think of this, the Luftwaffe operated on a specific fuel type that used a patent from Rockefeller Standard Oil. If the US wanted to stop the war, all they had to do was stop the Luftwaffe (Germany's main tactics hinged on the the Luftwaffe, if you want to know more, read up on Blitz Krieg), which seeing as Rockefeller Standard Oil was an American company, would be easy to do. lol, it's even been proven that an American bank help financed BOTH the US and Germany's war effort. If you look at every major conflict that the US has ever entered, it is clear that they entered under false pretenses. WW1, they sent the Lusitania into waters they were certain that German u-boats were systematically sinking every ship they could find. The German Government even issued a warning to the US public that any passage on the Lusitania would mean suicide due to the u-boats patrolling the area it was intending to move through. WW2 I have already covered. Vietnam...the Gulf of Tonka incident never even happened. The US entered that war completely under false pretenses. Even now, the Iraq war...they entered it with supposed evidence of WMD's. Yet the UN had sent representatives and investigators to Iraq prior to the war and found NOTHING. Yet the US still invaded.
Now, what I am saying is that I am seeing things that seem similar happening between the US and China. I have been following their relationship for a long time now. There have been loads of friction the last few years, even going to the extend of China barring US ships from docking in Beijing for several weeks in 2007 if memory serves me well. If you look at the political situation between China and Taiwan, you will see that Taiwan, according to China, is a part of their nation. I mean, the Chinese call Taiwan the Republic of China (this should give you an indication of their feelings to this small country). They have further declared that they will bring Taiwan back into the Chinese government, by force if necessary. The US are now supplying this "rebel" province of China with over $4bn in weapon. Are you starting to see the comparison to the US and Japan incident I was attempting to make? Furthermore, the US seems to be making even further attempts to aggravate China. The meeting with the Dali Lama, the internet criticism, the embargoes they are pressuring China to make on the US's enemies (which would have serious ramifications for the Chinese economy and their relationships with said nations, whom some they are friendly with till today). The relationship between China and the US was so tense at one stage (a good while back), that the then prime minister said that he would willingly lose a third of his people in a war against the US. Back then, that totaled about 1 billion people. There are many other points I could make, but my hands are starting to cramp
I apologize if I hadn't made my case clearer earlier, but it was late and I had assumed that other people kept up with current events and knew at least something of international politics and the history of WW2. Furthermore, this is just a theory, and not too serious or I wouldn't have bothered posting here, but would have packed my bags and a tent and entered the most uninhabited place in Africa and waited the mess out
. I was just trying to see what other people think and I wish to thank the people who actually voiced well thought out opinions that were relevant
Furthermore, a war would probably be the best thing for the US economy right now...a major conflict I mean. As history has proven, war is very profitable to those who know how to generate a profit well. Look at Haliburton, they made a killing off the Iraq war. Also, if there was a major war between the US and China and the US won...then they would effectively erase their debt with the Chinese...and then the Chinese would still manufacture all the US's electronics and other things...after the US rebuilt the country of course
Oh, and just another interesting read
