Japan was stupid to fight a war with America. But if a war had to happen, pearl harbor had the right idea.

I don't think you're smarter than my left testicle, based on this post

but they would have needed germany to give them advance notice (they didn't) and they would have had to both override the very powerful japanese naval bureaucracy which insisted on sea war focus *and* to launch a ground war cutting off japanese supplies when japan was super wary of another ground war against russia given the last one they got totally assraped

put it together and they were simply fucked

In retrospect, Japan's alliance with Germany mean jack shit if there was no defensive alliance. As it stands, doesn't it seem weird that Japan never did shit to help Germany, and Germany never did shit to help Japan, even though they were supposed to be on the same team against Russia and NOT the USA?

It's fucked up. The Kwantung Army was supposed to fierce, but they were more afraid to fight Russia than the navy was afraid to fight the USA. They could have easily defeated Russia but they didn't take their shot in 41.

Not sure why Hitler even declared war on US. Made no sense

1) abandon empire

2) go to war

What if Japan had a smarter assessment of Soviet military/industrial capacity than Hitler and decided not to fight a grizzly bear based on some retarded Austrian corporal's race theories

And it's worth pointing out that Japan came extremely close to their objective of decapitating the U.S. in the Pacific. The U.S. only won at Midway due to a string of semi-miraculous events. Take away that miraculous victory, and the U.S. would have been completely defenseless in the Pacific for at least a year or two. Japan could have bombed West Coast cities almost with impunity. They might have even been able to occupy Hawaii, although their supply lines would have been extremely stretched. Japan was hoping that the U.S. public would have preferred to end the oil blockade rather than watch Los Angeles get repeatedly bombed on the nightly news. That was probably wishful thinking, but it was the best hand that they had to play at the time. And it would have looked like a much smarter move in retrospect if Midway had gone just a little differently.

Really seems like no one could conceivably compete with us.

The entire UK war strategy from May 1940-Dec 1941 was based around getting the US into the war because they knew it was their only chance

This was true even in 1917 in fact, and it's why Germany yolo'd the 100 days offensive in spring 1918. everyone knew the USA was the differencemaker

Given how they daddied Russia around earlier in the century, I can see how they might’ve assumed America would be submissive likewise.

Even while fending off Japanese attacks earlier in the summer, the Soviet commander had studied his opponents’ dispositions, discovering several fatal flaws. The Japanese flanks were covered by unreliable Manchukuoan cavalry and were vulnerable to encirclement. Nor did the Japanese possess a tactical mobile reserve. To cope with flank attacks, they would be compelled to focus on one flank at a time, and disengage forces from action in the center or the other flank. To secure operational surprise, Zhukov employed many varied deceptive measures. Radios broadcast false information and transmitted soundtracks of construction noise. Trucks and aircraft operated day and night to muffle the sound of unit deployment. Such measures convinced the Japanese that the Soviets were also digging in for the winter

Also SF was the major west coast military center so it would have been the worst possible target.

It actually reminds me of Ukrainecucks, like TDNW when he mocked Russians for using tampons to plug bullet wounds. That stupid fuck still claims he was in the Marines but he has the brain of a suicidal Japanese soldier from 1935.

What they didn't understand, I guess, was that our capacity to build more carriers and planes - and improve them - vastly vastly outstripped theirs. All we had to do was prevent them from spreading too quickly in year 1, and then we steamrolled them.
