Was Pearl Harbour very selective and targeted?
Plus, 30,000 tonnes?!?!?!?! Think about it for a moment. Tonnes, pounds, whatever.


Pearl Harbor is an interesting case. It's on one hand a horrific war crime, and on the other well within the standards in which the US operates. Hawaii was a colony which we stole and placed military bases there to control the pacific. Bombers were being produced and put there with the expressed intention, literally this was put in the paper, to bomb the shit out of Japan.

It would be like China setting up on Cuba and sending planes there that they brag can bomb all US cities on the eastern sea board. We'd probably go insane and start nuking everything if that happened.

BTW attacking a country that doesn't have nukes, will immediately cause it to start working as fast as it can to build Nukes. Iran isn't stupid, it sees what happens to countries that have no defense (Iraq, Afganistan) and countries that do (North Korea, Pakistan). So even our own intelligence men say if Iran isn't working on a Nuclear weapon as fast as it can, they're insane.

Would they ever launch one would be a completely different question. It should be noted that we don't give a shit about that either. Obama ramped up the war in Afghanistan which is destabilizing Pakistan, which has nuclear weapons and might use them or let them fall into the wrong hands.

The US and it's military planners do not care about the safety of it's citizens, America is a failed state.

After a quick search I'm seeing a lot of articles along the lines of the media grooming for war but it seems to be mostly conspiracy theorist stuff.

Looking at the recent past though I can't think of a single example of mainstream media outlets starting consistent rhetoric on possible war with a specific country that didn't turn into an actual war.

Anyone got any examples?

Last election cycle the warmongering towards Iran was far far more widespread than it is at the moment. It was a major election issue. Now it is a sideshow at best as the USA has war fatigue. Give it 3 years or so once you all withdraw from Afghanistan.

Plus there was a lot of talk about North Korea before they got the bomb.

And China comes up whenever they flex their muscle against Taiwan. This will become a bigger issue in the coming years as China pushes for territorial rights to the south China sea, which if you look at a map really should be called the Vietnamese Philippine Brunei Chinese sea.

Syria is coming on to the stage too.

It all just comes and goes so easily from public consciousness that we forget. Iraq is still a total shitstorm of ethnic violence, civilian bombings etc but we're sick of hearing about it and dont want to feel guilty so its not news worthy. There's no fear left ergo no need to watch.
