This leftist "America can do no right" nonsense is worse than the "America can do no wrong" nonsense. The "provocation" that caused Pearl Harbor was America refusing to do business with the kind of murderous death cult that turns a card-carrying Nazi into a Chinese folk hero by contrast.
many people think the provocation was The US refusing to sell oil to japan, but I reject that idea.
the provocation was moving the fleet to Pearl harbor in the first place, making it a threat to Japan in order to deter them from taking the islands to their South to secure oil.
we should have known they would at least be thinking about attacking, anyone who thought that attack was unprovoked or "sudden" was a fucking idiot.
Calling totally preventable attacks on the US or US allies (or vassals) "unprovoked" is US doctrine
