Japan might have, at least in the short term. The reason for the attack on Pearl Harbor was the fact that the US imposed sanctions on Japan because of its depredations in China.
But of course, the point of attacking Japan (and Germany) was to prevent them from becoming regional hegemons which at some point may cause trouble for the US, or weaken its hand.
No idea. Someone mentioned the US's use of force in Nagasaki and Hiroshima was far too strong and I agreed.
They then then Japan didn't deserve it and I responded with "Ask the people of Nanjing about that" and got a double ban from two separate users I'd never seen before.
I'm guessing everyone got super motivated at the pre-shift rally talk on Reddit's upper moderation team and they came out all guns blazing and I got caught in the crossfire.
No love lost, it was always a matter of when and not if.
Perhaps to state the obvious, it looks to me like whoever did that thought that you were saying that the Japanese people deserved to be nuked, or used that as an excuse to ban you. It's funny that you're required to support present Western foreign policy, while also being required to not approve of Western foreign policy in the past.

Careful now AoV. Mentioning Nanjing is what got my account finally banned on Reddit!
Really? Why?
