Wait the other one is finished? I swear he was not done,
Comments going whack today, doing again, disappeared J I C it shows back up
Who is the narrator?
Is the voice reading this a human or a computer voice? Thank you.
8:00 "we are prepared for the worst…"
No, no you are not. Not even a little bit.
"we are not seeking war, but if we are given no other choice"
The hypocrisy level is over 9000.
I usually stop on spot when- 'would if, could of, should have' type scenarios pops up, there's just no way to properly discuss something That's never Happened, often some commenter will start throwing Insults when they run out of good answers But I have thought a long time about this, what if Japan never attacked Pearl, never attacked anything American, But did go after the Dutch Oil, We were not helping the Dutch in Europe, not at this time, I bet the Willy Japanese, if they put on their sneaky scheme hats could have rode that barge a long time. America did not want to go to War (pre-war poll, YES to War-7%, NO to War-89%, "You Mean There's a War On" UN-decided-4%. GERMANY, Double, Hitler was on Crack Discovery day, if he had Did Nothing instead of declaring war, Playing it cool he may have even got through without having to fight Americans. American man on the street Public Poll after Dec.7, "The Pacific is Now our War" (90% Yay, 1% Nay, 9% "I just stepped in for a Tube-steak and cold bear, don't wanna hear no war talk". -Hitler Had to declare War if it was to turn out like it did.
All because of an addiction called China.
It's a computer. You'll hear misspoken words at times.
It took me a while, but robot narrator.
Rather underwhelming!
A Brit with the Brit accent just doesn't fly when reading a Japanese naval officer's downcast but still poetic thoughts about the Japanese Crisis in 1941 — and the inevitable war to come.
Roosevelt had an insatiable urge to fellate Joe Stalin, and knew the only way to get there would be by forcing the US into the war. He surely knew that no Asian culture can tolerate losing face, and that by cutting off resources to Japan, he was forcing them to attack. And thence once into the war, he prompttly ignored the Pacific and started shoveling aid to the Commie swill!
"bombed whales" When Task Force 317 steamed south during the Falklands War, the RN ASW crews were understandably nervous about Argentine subs and thus adopted a "better safe than sorry" attitude to any submerged sonar contact. So the first scores of TF 317 were probably whales.
Did anybody ask, "Sir if they won't let us purchase needed chemicals, materials and fuels, and since we have no natural resources if we declare war how will we obtain those needed resources to carry out this war?" Reply, "We are blessed by superior species, work ethics and a willingness to die for our cause. And the enemy is soft and not able to fight. It will be easy! Trust our leaders as they know what their doing."
It is much better to read this yourself. This is based on an autobiography of a Japanese Naval Officer in WW2. The name of his book is “Japanese Destroyer Captain” the author is Captain Tamechi Hara. I recommend 3 other books:
1) “I-Boat Captain” by Captain Zenji Orita. A Japanese Submarine Captain tells his story.
2) “Samurai!” by Saburo Sakai and Martin Caiden. Sakai was the highest scoring Japanese Naval Ace to survive WW2.
3) “The Rising Sun” by John Toland. This superb history cover the entire Pacific War from 1937 – 1945.
He who has air superiority delivers supplies with ships, he who does not delivers supplies with submarines….and his side starves.
