Well, they did attack us for a reason. But this is just ridiculous.

In some ways he is right for the wrong or shall I say WONG reasons.

There is a lot of good evidence that the US (FDR Administration) put trade sanctions on Japan in order to HELP the Communists in Mainland China...

That was exactly their justification.

Does living in Washington DC cause cognitive degradation or something?
CDC should look into this.
It's getting close to 100% affected already.
Of course it could run in the family this time.
The Pauls have always been like loose cannons on the deck.

Rand Paul always talks like this. He goes against the best Tea Party candidates whenever he feel like it.

How can anyone ever be surprised by anything he says?

Relax, people. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

The response to Rand Paul hides one major issue. The reason the Japanese planned on attacking Southeast Asia was to get at the Dutch oil fields in Indonesia to replace the oil they were no longer receiving from the US. FDR embargo and the ultimatum which came with it threatened to halt Japan’s war effort in China. Some say FDRs ultimatum was analogous to the Austria-Hungary’s ultimatum to Serbia: to stay a sovereign nation the only response was war.

The more he talks, the more he is like his father.
Articulate and coherent on some subjects, and puzzling on others. -tom

This scam post was already posted here a few hours ago, in the video he explains why he voted for the sanctions against Iran.

Reminds me of that scam post here with the title claiming that the McDonalds shut down because of striking workers. Many fell for that too.

FDR that great commie bast**d that he was, knew what he was doing when he blocked the Japanese oil and other supplies.

not that FDR shouldn’t have, but FDR was more concerned about getting us into WW 2 to help his Soviet Buddies than to help England.

I still believe that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor in advance and let our service men die for political expediency.

Yes Rand Paul is correct....I am not sure he is correct for the right reasons, though.
I could deal with an isolationist president who kept up our military might as a deterrent...

Rand you’re done. Apparently you wouldn’t recognize the “Asian Co-prosperity Sphere” if it bit you.

Sorry, but this is idiotic analysis.

Japan and Germany did not attack the Allies because of the Allies' trade policies.

They attacked because they saw the chance to seize land and assets, and they used trade policies or anything else as an excuse to justify their actions.

Rand Paul apparently knows nothing about history or the realities of human nature.

As a result he blindly and unthinkingly swallows the propaganda of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany.

Childish.
