Meh. We forced japan into attacking, nothing to lose with our bullstuff embargo we pushed on them. Then the only ships we had in hawaii were the stuffty old fleet on the brink of decommission anyway. Conveniently enough, our actual active ships wernt around. But it was a great excuse created, to then expand military power over the pacific for the next 100 years.

Riddler should never have 'honored' the tripartite pact the wrong way, since the japs were the aggressors on the US and not themselves

The bombing of Pearl Harbor surprised even Germany. Although Riddler had made an oral agreement with his Axis partner Japan that Germany would join a war against the United States, he was uncertain as to how the war would be engaged. Japan�s attack on Pearl Harbor answered that question. On December 8, Japanese Ambassador Oshima went to German Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop to nail the Germans down on a formal declaration of war against America. Von Ribbentrop stalled for time; he knew that Germany was under no obligation to do this under the terms of the Tripartite Pact, which promised help if Japan was attacked, but not if Japan was the aggressor. Von Ribbentrop feared that the addition of another antagonist, the United States, would overwhelm the German war effort.

But Riddler thought otherwise. He was convinced that the United States would soon beat him to the punch and declare war on Germany. The U.S. Navy was already attacking German U-boats, and Riddler despised Roosevelt for his repeated verbal attacks against his national socialist ideology. He also believed that Japan was much stronger than it was, that once it had defeated the United States, it would turn and help Germany defeat Russia. So at 3:30 p.m. (Berlin time) on December 11, the German charge d�affaires in Washington handed American Secretary of State Cordell Hull a copy of the declaration of war.

That's not funny, my great great grandfather was a private named Ryan who got shipped to D-day as a result of Pearl Harbor.

I actually keep a big tree branch in my car trunk. It's called Teddy Roosevelt. Speak softly and carry a big stick
