The Japanese plan had been to strike as close as possible to “out of the blue” (only translation difficulties in the Japanese embassy in D.C. prevented a “formal” declaration of war being announced before the start of the Pearl Harbor attack), overrun and grab as much territory as possible while the Western colonial powers were still reeling, establish themselves in their new lands, then step forward with a peace offering before the Americans and British could recover and mount a counteroffensive.
How little the Japanese understood their foes....
And now we have a Muslim traitor in the White House. Who doesn't understand the Muslim foe? Americans today do not have a clue what is going on.
