I understand we were squeezing the Japanese and they snapped on us..Sure FDR didn’t expect it..How could?
Foreign policy can have as much effect as a 2000lb bomb on a mission..

You damn well be ready for the backlash for that action..If you are really going to stand up to Iran you better have a spine and not one of these..jeez..Why would they ever attack the USA? I can’t imagine what set them off.
