I wouldn't say forcing Japan to attack us is a conspiracy. We were practically doing it openly. I think we knew we were going to war with Germany and we wanted the Japanese to be buisy at their home front.

(It doesn't line up that way, we didnt know we were going to war with Germany. Not publicly. I think we did on a classified level.)

We might of had our asses handed to us if Japan and Germany were more united.

Japan was also commiting war crimes on the enterty of Asia at the time. I would have embargoed them too. (And I love Japan)

I would say choosing to attack Germany over Russia may have been a bad move. That whole ww2 scenario, to me, is where the conspiracies lie. (Not a nazi sympathizer, I just agree with Patton.)

However, I think the reasoning even for that was because Japan was terrifying. We could handle Russia in the aftermath more than a Fascist Europe partnered with Imperial Japan & a concored Asia.

Instead we got contents freed from 1000s of years of imperalism. Fighting over the choice to become communist or democratic. Easier for us to mold that way.

Before Veitnam, I think we still had a good core.

They definitely killed JFK so we could invade Veitnam tho. Things certainly went downhill after WW2.
