It was the US that provoked Japan in to attacking it in 1940's read the “Smoke Gun of Pearl Harbor”, a Declassified Doc in 1994 which showed the US public did not want to enter the war in Europe and the only way in was to get Japan to attack the US and claim it was a surprised attack. Now as Japan was a ally of Germany it would then mean the US could enter the war with Germany if the US was at war with Japan.
If refusing to give Japan more steel and equipment to make bombs, guns, and ships is provoking them, then that is to bad. Japan wanted war and they wanted to conquer the whole hemisphere in Asia and China. Also you complain about torture. I never noticed anything in your statements about how the so called Imperial Japanese Army treated our people who they took prisoner. You want something to be happy about, just be happy that I was not president or Japan would be on the bottom of the ocean. I would have used it as an Atomic Testing ground. Best thing that could happen is Japan kicks us out and then takes on Korea on its own.
