The US authorities is treating Russia simply because it handled Japan earlier than World Conflict II absolutely took maintain.
President Roosevelt was inflicting embargos on the Japanese, freezing their cash, and chopping them off from all vitality. Once they turned to purchasing gas from different nations, Roosevelt threatened to blockade their ships. Is it any marvel why the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor to eradicate the US fleet after the specter of an embargo?
The neocon technique is taken proper out of the warfare ebook used in the course of the Roosevelt Administration. That is exactly what FDR did to get the US into World Conflict II. He was pissed off as a result of Congress wouldn’t authorize becoming a member of the warfare. When FDR went to Boston, the Irish lashed out at him, saying that the British starved the Irish and so they have been not going to go defend them. Many individuals who fled Europe to America needed to be freed from the hatred and politics in Europe. So, it was NOT a well-liked concept to return to the rescue of Europe, which they fled.
It might come as a shock, however the US public was sympathetic towards China throughout this era. America noticed Japan’s actions in the course of the Second Sino-Japanese Conflict as predatory. Equally, many now view Russia because the aggressor and imagine it have to be quelled. The hatred of the Japanese later got here to a head in the course of the warfare because the US authorities imprisoned all Japanese individuals, ladies and youngsters, and people born within the US.
The Neocons, in the course of the FDR Administration, adopted a intelligent agenda to bypass Congress as they’re doing proper now. They have been racists and easily hated the Japanese, as is the case with Russians proper now. They began in 1938 with a sequence of escalating extremely restrictive commerce restrictions imposed on Japan. The Neocons terminated the 1911 business treaty with Japan in 1939. They then tightened the Export Management Act of 1940, which was supposed to forestall the shortage of vital commodities in a probable prewar atmosphere. As well as, this act immediately focused Japan to limit the exportation of fabric to Imperial Japan.
This was adopted by the US embargoing scrap steel shipments to Japan and shutting the Panama Canal to Japanese delivery. The Neocons have been in search of to isolate Japan with out participating in a warfare that solely Congress might declare Japan, on the time, imported about 74% of its scrap iron from the US and over 90% of its copper.
Then, on July 26, 1941, the US seized all Japanese property in the US in retaliation for the Japanese occupation of French Indo-China as they’ve performed at this time with Russia’s reserves. This was adopted on August 1 with an oil embargo and gasoline exports to Japan which additionally got here from the US. The oil embargo was the final straw when 80% of its vitality provide got here from the USA. The US additionally was proposing intervening to forestall Japan from getting oil from different sources.
The whole US oil embargo was the final straw. The Japanese needed to then seize Southeast Asia for sources which expanded the warfare as a substitute of the previous hatred between China and Japan. They wanted to do this earlier than they ran out of sources. To safe themselves within the Pacific, they attacked Pearl Harbor with no intention of truly invading the US.
What we’re doing to Russia is strictly the identical manner Roosevelt handled the Japanese. There will probably be just one decision – World Conflict III. I don’t imagine that these in Washington and Brussels are this silly. It is a deliberate try to impress Russia to assault. They are going to then declare we put on the white hats and Russia is the aggressor with an unprovoked assault. It labored earlier than. There was even a Senate investigation after the warfare into the truth that Roosevelt knew Pearl Harbor was to be attacked and pulled out the essential ships, all to pressure Congress to enter the warfare.
