I find it interesting 'we' describe the Japanese army as Imperial, while the U.S. Imperialism drove the conquest of Hawaii so that 'we' could install a military base on an island 2,400 miles away that ‘we’ forcibly and violently stole and wasn’t even a state? The thievery is admitted such in the Apology Resolution of 1993. Hawaii wasn’t a state until 1959.

The ‘surprise’ attack on a military base after the U.S. knowingly coerced, through enforced embargo and starving of its peoples, and knew the likelihood of Japanese resistance to U.S. hostile proscriptions. How Japan eventually acquiesced to nearly every U.S. demand during negotiations and was told to fuck off anyway?

So in response to an attack on a military base, installed on foreign land, against the will of the sovereign people, the U.S. retaliates by annihilating two cities full of innocent civilians, just for awesome nuclear show.
