Japan fought a defensive war during WWII. They were nationalists in pursuit of independence and separation from the long arm of the jew. The (((US))) was engaging in warfare against them long before Pearl Harbor, but played the victim when a legitimate military target, the one from which they had been launching their surreptitious and illegal attacks and blockades, received its due reckoning. The (((US))) then proceeded to openly target civilian populations throughout the course of the war, following the model of their gods Lincoln and Sherman.
