It can't be defended! This "castle", including most of Asia and Oceania could have existed ONLY if the Western powers were weak, spineless and decadent - as the Japanese have thought about them!
Those people, like Yamamoto, who have known - were not listened to! |
I didn't say they were smart (or) that they listened to those who knew America and how strong our 'resolve' would be if attacked. I stated that they understood us much better than we understood them. Different thing altogether.
