Imagine thinking Japan was justified because the US provoked them into attacking us.

imagine thinking an militaristic empire that has annexed large territories of Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia wouldn't launch an attack.

there were multiple intelligence warnings before the attack even happened. not like the US was totally in the dark about it. they just thought the Japs were bluffing and its military was spread too thin to actually launch an attack on the Pacific Fleet. let alone at Pearl Harbor.
