Stats like this are why I hate the US military budget. We still spend the same amount on our military as the next 10 nations combined. Our Navy is the world's 2nd largest air force. That's not defense. We could spend 15% of that and be completely uninvadable. We're such a paranoid, fighty people.

japan failed to understand the might of the american volunteer hitler also failed and the new threats of ww3 from russia and china seems they have failed too both our allies during ww2 now self made enemies when america generally does not release the dogs unless attacked first

belongs to russia and has such claimed alaska as a russian territory that is occupied they can not take on the world with out chinas support and china can not defeat india if america helps this is why it is so important russia loses in ukraine as china wants to claim all asia same thing as of ww2

russia and china both have formed a new map of the world where it belongs to them india is not willing to cede territory to china as china claims indian territory russia wants everything it has ever owned or ran as russian territory

if he had taken Hawaii instead of just attack our fleet could have been his and our only defense in the pacific gone opening up our western shores for invasion the Aleutian islands were the only ones lost during ww2 so the japs never gained a strong foot hold but if pearl was taken different????

yes Yamamoto went to school in the usa he knew after attacking pearl harbor his famous words "i feel we have but awoke a sleeping giant" are remembered even today great man great words shot down before the end of the war he seen from the start the defeat of japan but done as commanded
