You may be surprised at the causes that led to the attack on Pearl Harbor, and what was known by the US prior to the attack.

Same for the US involvement in WW1, the start of the Spanish-American War, and Vietnam.

Our ruling parasites are still using the same playbook because it's effective and works well.

"Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred." so Russia bad, China bad, Orange Man Bad,...

but that's just crazy conspiracy talk.
 
Because America was populated by easily duped farmhands at that time and they were tricked into thinking it was the cause most worthy of support of their lifetime.
Not to mention sinking of American shipping in the Atlantic, submarine warfare along the Atlantic coast and attacking naval facilities in the pacific.
Why didn’t we just grin and take it?

You make a good point but dealing with that didn't require a european invasion, just a better navy.

Actually they only fought because they got attacked at Pearl Harbor. Otherwise they sat on their arses while we fought up until 1941. The only reason the US joined was self-interest as per usual. As for the European invasion as you put it - that's because by declaring war on Japan you declared war on Germany... They were the "Axis"...

Gratitude for help fighting the axis disappeared long before you came along.

Not sure I understand that. Everyone was pleased the US joined and helped but it wasn't out the goodness of their hearts. It was because they were themselves attacked. Up until that point the US was neutral and there were cases where that neutrality actually assisted Germany. Let's be clear though. The US didn't enter the war because it was against the Nazi's and were some sort of anti-Nazi moral heroes. They entered the war because they were pulled into it by Japan pure and simple. Claims that "we won the war single handed" from the US that you often get just pisses everyone off and I like to remind them of this history from time to time because they conveniently forget it all the time. The US wasn't some beacon of light and hope that they like to think they are or were - that were always on our side and always by our side.

Whoa whoa whoa! This is a country full of ignorant blowhards that think everything good in the world is thanks to us. So it's no wonder so many here worship that orange abomination.

Some people might think I don't like the US because of what I wrote... but that's not true either. I do... but sometimes it's complicated lol I do like the US - I think they are pretty much the same as us. What disappoints me is when they don't realise they are pretty much the same and carry on like they have tickets on themselves... In Australia we sometimes call that "tall poppy syndrome"... lol Nothing like chopping the heads off a few tall poppies haha

Australian Tall Poppies; great band name.
No US tour, of course.
 
only a matter of time.

I expect it will be a coordinated operation, several cities / towns perhaps dozens, maybe multiple locations in each to spread law enforcement thin, on the same day and time.
the only thing to stop them is folks with boomsticks.... kinda surprised me when this hamas operation happened. I always assumed everybody in Israel was packing uzi's or galils. Guess not.....

Many in the kibbutz had safe rooms, but seems they didn't lock from the inside and/or weren't fireproof? I think they were designed like bomb shelters for the rocket attacks, they never expected a surprise ground attack getting past the perimeter defenses.

As far as major terrorist attacks in western "democracies", I think they know public sentiment will turn against them in the aftermath, so I suspect they're still getting their forces in place, so when it does start it's going to be massive from small towns to large cities and in many areas in these cities, perhaps against communications, electric, water, food etc. supplies. It will be designed to overwhelm police, fire, medical; and cause large scale loss of civilian lives.

Our security agencies are focused on American citizens and $600+ taxable transaction enforcement...hate to say it but the next attack is going to make 9/11 look "small scale".

FWIW, when I leave my house, I carry more firepower than just a few months ago.
