Let’s be real, if Twitter existed in 1941, there’s no way humankind would have survived to 2025.
After hearing some stories from nieces and nephews, high school today is a goddamn hellscape of group chats and deepfake images…I would hate to grow up in the always connected age but such is the future
One difference - there was some Japanese resistance or concerns internally to the long term effect of giving the US a reason to come into the war. I don’t get the sense that anyone who has any pull right now is questioning ANYTHING Trump says. And that’s a big part of the problem. A narcissistic commander with a fragile ego who thinks anything he does is gold, surrounded by yes-men for their own purposes.
How is that any different from the current situation?
Wiser heads warned of escalation but were locked out of power by militarists.
The point is that the people opposed to war in the US are not in any position to even debate their side of the argument. Japan pre WWII had some advisors that were at least on the surface opposed to attacking PH, even if they were eventually overruled.
Democrats aren’t even trying to stop him.
Since when were the Democrats, people opposed to war?
Also there has been multiple reports of some of the more Russian aligned Reps trying to stop it.
That’s the whole point isn’t it? Democrats are the closest thing America has to an opposition and they’re in agreement.
