      It’s also wrong on every account; Japan was already doing imperialist shit for decades and it wasn’t tariffs but oil sanctions to try to stymie their fuel supply that sent them raging.

      It wasn’t American tariffs, we didn’t fucking matter nearly as much to the world before WWII as after
